Did CNN just accuse President Trump of "murder?" On this morning's New Day, co-host John Berman called the killing of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani "murder," before adding, "assassination." Given that the strike on Soleimani was reportedly ordered by President Trump, Berman's choice of language would seem tantamount to accusing President Trump of a capital crime.
Heres the exact quote. Talking about the last impeachment and Bill Clintons 1998 air strikes against Iraq, Berman said of last nights attack: Not to diminish the importance of the air strikes in Iraq at the time, but thats nothing compared to the murder, the assassination of General Soleimani. And this comes during the Senate impeachment trial.

Michael Morel (former acting CIA under Obama) on CBS News apparently said that Trump was asking for Americans to now be killed.
What a turd
One alternative: asking thugs like him to stop killing innocent people, give freedom back to the Iranian people and
turn himself in for war crimes.
Wouldn’t work. Never has.
Every thing AT&T touches turns into shit.
Well said.
Who would CNN decide is a legitimate target in a war zone where American lives have to be protected from combatants?
The World Trade Center occupants and first responders did not do anything to Osama Bin Laden but he arranged for them to be slaughtered. Did CNN want us to talk nicely to him and see if he would volunteer to be part of Mister Rogers Neighborhood?
It’s a war, CNN. Stop being on the anti-American side.
Dear Mr. Berman,
So what’s your point? The dead Quds leader had no problem murdering his own people, American and Iraqi citizens. Why should I give to shits about this butcher other than to put a couple rounds through his head?
Maybe we could send obama to iran on a “peace keeping mission”
:)
Latigo : Just as hard as I could!
The "intelligence community" killed dozens of people around the world since the 1950s. Operatives, dictators, various leaders. How many Americans died because of the revenge for that?
This guy had bloody hands and was not anything but a thug. The elements who want freedom in Iran are held back by the types he represents. He would have gladly slaughtered Americans, Israelis and other Iranians who disagreed with his views. Now he's gone.
The following is a transcript from a number of speeches by Abraham Lincoln:
“The world has never had a good definition of the word liberty, and the American people, just now, are much in want of one. We all declare for liberty; but in using the same word we do not all mean the same thing.
What constitutes the bulwark of our liberty and independence? It is not our frowning battlements, our bristling sea coasts. These are not our reliance against tyranny. Our reliance is in the love of liberty which God has planted in our bosoms. Our defense is in the preservation of the spirit which prizes liberty as the heritage of all men, in all lands, everywhere. Destroy this spirit, and you have planted the seeds of despotism around your own doors.
At what point shall we expect the approach of danger? By what means shall we fortify against it? Shall we expect some trans-Atlantic military giant, to step the ocean, and crush us at a blow? Never!
All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined,...could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a thousand years.
At what point then is the danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we ourselves must be its author and finisher. As a nation of free men, we must live through all times, or die by suicide.
Neither let us be slandered from our duty by false accusations against us, nor frightened from it by the menaces of destruction to the Government nor of dungeons to ourselves.
Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith, let us, to the end, dare to do our duty as we understand it.
The last of these words was done 160 years ago by a republican president. But it explains our plight exactly with the media and our enemies to include the liberals today as they promote the destruction of liberty built by our Constitution and the lives of our brave heroes that fought and died for it. Please remember that when you step to the polls in 2020. Sometimes a cancer has to be removed by surgery. It’s the same with this disease called liberal government.

The enemy of the people
Self hating Jews never fail to disappoint.
An attack by the US in December 2013, in a wedding procession in Yemen, killed 12 men and wounded at least 15 other people, including the bride.
Democrat media have plunged to yet another low. Keep it up, guys!
You make our President look good.
Finally! A high crime they can impeach him for. So they think.
That last gif seriously needs some music with it....
Wouldn’t it be exciting to see these turkeys kneeling in front of the decapitators?
Beneath contempt, but it IS what they do.
DANG!
Kill ‘em all.
