Terrorists run for their lives in aftermath of Soleimani killing; Terror leaders in Iraq are fleeing the region

If Democrats can't stop howling that President Trump's killing of Iranian terrorist chieftain Qassem Soleimani was some kind of failure that would mean war, maybe they should ask the terrorists on the ground over in Iraq.

If they can find them. Turns out they're running for their lives.

Sara Carter has an important bit of news about how they're taking it:

U.S. officials have intercepted chatter and received confirmation that terrorist leaders in Iraq have been fleeing the region and have gone into hiding fearing United States intelligence capabilities after the successful airstrike that killed Iranian Quds Force leader Qassem Soleimani, according to multiple sources that spoke to SaraACarter.com.
Soleimani, the leader of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard’s Quds Force, was killed early Friday morning as he stepped off his plane and headed to the SUV at the Baghdad Airport in Iraq. The U.S. developed extraordinary actionable intelligence to target the most wanted terrorist in the world and it was a ‘precision strike’ that caught the Iranian government off guard, said a White House official, who spoke on background due to the sensitive nature of their work.

This doesn't sound like the activity of people who are mobilizing for war. Terrorists run toward war, not away from war, it's why so many are in the Middle East in the first place. Remember all those 'foreign fighters'? These guys don't want to be anywhere near some U.S. drone radar or whatever it is that enables the rockets to zero in on miscreants and leave them grease spots on the desert floor.

Intended consequences

Now that the Iranian response overplayed its hand by openly threatening Dubai as well as Israel, happy hunting to our partners in the GCC and Israel

I read “ someone’ was really lighting up IR militia convoys last night on the Iraq-Syria border

Other reports are saying the killed Iranian general was betrayed to the U.S. by people in his own organization and the Mullahs are conducting purges there as we speak with many of the general’s lieutenants being rounded up. Such housecleaning will disrupt the Quds Force operations in Iraq & Syria for some time, with new channels of loyalty with non-Iranian militias having to be developed.

“BOOM!”

“Hah, hah Boss...just kidding.”

“Not funny, Akbar...not funny at all. If you value having your head perched comfortably on your shoulders, you won’t do that again.”

“Yes, Boss, I mean no Boss...my bad. Won’t happen again.”
