Wonder if this attack was being organized from a shadow gummit in DC?

I called this three hours ago. Told a friend that the head of the snake is the best target. Trump rocks.

Rumor has it the missile strike came from an airbase in Italy operated by M&M Enterprises.

Milo Minderbinder was not available for comment and his boss Major Major said their company is contracted by Air America for cargo delivery to bagdad daily.

Think about it folks. Somebody just flew into some of the most heavily defended airspace in the world. SOTA Russian S-300 and S-500 SAMS. In, and out, nobody even caught a sniff. F-35s? F-22s? Something entirely else? This is a “Brown Trouser Moment” for more than just the Iranians. What some might just call a “Significant Emotional Event”.

Do you mean 0moeba/ValJar, or John Francois Kerry?

If our military, or the Israeli military could drop a drone on Kerry and Obama, that would be a national Holiday.

Oh, yeah. They’re saying “drones” because they don’t know. Some outstanding intel went into this one and some really good execution.

I’m leery that he has been identified by a ring..I’d rather have DNA proof instead! Did I miss something with the pentagon identification report?

My first thought was drones. But then I read a report that people heard “military aircraft” shortly after the explosions.

Very well could have been fast-movers. They’ve been flying a defensive cap over the Green Zone area since the embassy attacks.

I think General Qassem Soleimani was just collateral damage, the real target was Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis. Qassem was just at the wrong place at the right time.

Are you serious? This is not a mess. This is like killing any mass murderer. Like killing Mao. It’s a huge achievement. Good for the world as a whole. Wake up.
