Trump explains why Iran’s top general Qassem Soleimani had to die
NY Post ^ | January 3, 2020 | Yaron Steinbuch

Posted on 01/03/2020 6:58:30 AM PST by COUNTrecount

President Trump reacted Friday to the US airstrike that killed a top Iranian general and others by tweeting that “Iran never won a war, but never lost a negotiation.” Enlarge Image Qassem SoleimaniQassem SoleimaniAP

It wasn’t immediately clear what the president meant by the tweet, though it appeared to be a dig at former President Obama for the nuclear deal he negotiated with Tehran.

Trump later said that Gen. Qassem Soleimani, the head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps-Quds Force, “has killed or badly wounded thousands of Americans over an extended period of time, and was plotting to kill many more…but got caught!”

He added that the top Iranian commander “was directly and indirectly responsible for the death of millions of people, including the recent large number of PROTESTERS killed in Iran itself.

“While Iran will never be able to properly admit it, Soleimani was both hated and feared within the country. They are not nearly as saddened as the leaders will let the outside world believe. He should have been taken out many years ago!” he added, using another spelling for the general.

Gresst line.

Reminds me of when someone made a meme with former Heisman trophy winning QB and overall #1 pick in the NFL draft, Sam Bradford, who made an absolute fortune in a very, very pedestrian career as that ersatz Ernest Hemingway “most interesting man in the world” guy from the Dos Equis beer commercials saying “I don’t win often, but when I do it’s at the negotiating table”

Exactly! Just like a Mafia boss, this guy got too cocky and thought he was untouchable.

Hope he is enjoying his seventy goats!

Dying in a missile strike is thirsty work!

If they would have used the new “slice-o-matic” bomb it might have even more salvage value..

“in Iran and seen as a deadly adversary by America and its allies”

Wrong again. We never heard of him.

Literally a mouse in a warehouse.

Because... It doesn’t fit the Socialist template.

Why he was in Baghdad, so soon after the attempted hit on our Embassy, was the first thing that came to my mind...

I just love that they killed him in Iraq, he belongs in Iran. Lets hear how the Mullahs explain that?

The worst dude of all out of Iran, he is the one responsible for all the IED's exploding on our troops and maiming them for life for over 20 years now.
