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

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.

They kept Soleimani so busy with foreign escapades so that he would never turn his attentions toward actually taking over the country for himself. I wonder just how saddened some of the power brokers are back in Iran!

That’s going to be a big bad revue on the CarFax.

Seriously though, I find it amazing Trump gets enough accurate intel from a State Department and Pentagon Obama stuffed with Islamist sympathizers and spineless SJW traitors.

Swamp is still deep and still reeking. Perhaps that’s for post-election.

Proof that he's draining some of the swamp and rebuilding our intelligence assets.

Eddie Albert’s CEO character in “Head Office” (1985) slowly rolled two large bearings down a board-room table and said “With these balls of steel I built an empire.” That’s our President and I thank God.

Agree! Looking at the pictures of the targeted cars shows the precision of our drone strikes. Excellent.
