concise summary
thanks for the post.

"...the drone system is an "armed, multi-mission, medium-altitude, long-endurance" drone that is designed primarily for offensive strikes...." I want one!😎

There is a type of Hellfire that does not kill the target with high explosives. Just before it hits blades come out that are about 2 feet long each and it cuts through the target at about 1000 MPH and destroys everything within. Its a modern way to go all medieval on someone’s arse. I hope this is the one they used on that bastard.

Everyone in this picture is willing to strap a bomb to his waist and blow up innocent people, for his sick religion, and is therefore a terroist.

Take 'em out. Take them out every chance you get, without mercy. So why didn't we? (Trump's my guy. So I'm not blaming him. But he's getting bad advice somewhere along the line.)

Don't Fear The Reaper

[Scrambler Bob]

I finally got it.

Soleimani looks like George Clooney.

Filter "Hey Man, Nice Shot"

Surrounding homself with RINO's Bush-era retreads, neocons and Jared Kushner is the immediate problem.

I’m glad whoever was operating the drone brought their A game. It would not have been good to have taken the shot and missed.

Such a benign-looking little gizmo :-)

[RedMonqey]

Soleimani looks like Sean Connery

[Jamestown1630]

Connery may have his faults, but he’s never had that crazy, malignant, soul-sold look in his eyes.

[RedMonqey]

Correct, I cannot remember any character that Connery played that was evil. Self centered maybe but not evil like “Salimani”

[Jamestown1630]

Well, I was thinking of the man himself, not the roles he played.

When you live a life concentrated on plotting for terror and murder, it can’t help but show up in your face.

[mumblypeg]

We need more cowbell.

[PlateOfShrimp]

Well, “Reaper” is an apt name.

Dude definitely got more cowbell on that one.

[RedMonqey]

Hard to defend Clooney but Clooney is like 99 percent of Hollywood, vacuous, vainglorious idiots looking for a fashionable cause. Hardly the evil, murderous villain Sali boy was.

[Jamestown1630]

Well, I was referring to Connery, not Clooney.

(I could watch Connery in his roles endlessly, no matter how old he got; Clooney, not so much - boring ‘pretty boy’ :-)
