Iran Is Weak and Soleimani Is Still Dead; And Contrary to Critics, Trump DID Exercise Forbearance When It Came to Military Response

If I learned anything growing up in the Bronx in the 1970s and 1980s it is this: When someone says they are going to kill you, you should believe them. Iranian leaders have been vowing, “Death to America” for four decades. Successive presidents have striven mightily to not only ignore their declaration but also to maintain it lacked the solemnity of true intent.

Why else would the smartest president ever, Barack Obama, through his sham legacy foreign policy accomplishment, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) agree to cede Iran a secured path to developing nuclear weapons?

As a corollary, it is almost an aphorism to state that when someone keeps pushing, at some point, you must push back, or attrition will be your fate.

In this, the simplicity in Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s combination statement/oath uttered in reference to an obscure phone call about military aid can’t be beaten. He said, “Nobody pushed me.”

Trump exercises great forbearance when it comes to military response. He did so with Iran. Even as it ratcheted up its provocations, he exercised due discretion. But Iran crossed a line, and nobody pushes Trump. When Iran killed an American, Trump killed dozens. In response, they tried to overrun our embassy and Soleimani became a smear on a road to historical infamy.

Qassem Soleimani was in a Baghdad meeting with Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, the leader of Kataib Hezb'allah, his new pet militia -- mere miles away from our embassy, and immediately subsequent to the militia’s test-assault. They were there to plot and execute more terrorist attacks on America. Democrats ignore this.

One of these planned attacks was rumored to be a full-scale takeover of the embassy, as in Iran in 1979. Incidentally, 1979 was the year Iran began its war on America.

it’s amazing that they had no actual plan whatsoever other than relying on Leftist US media to hype how dangerous and how not Iraq they are.

Bet Trump has a contingency plan.

the smartest president ever, Barack Obama>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I stopped reading right there. Obama was not smart, he was a fraud, an expert at disguise and lying,a snake oil salesman, a wolf in sheep’s clothing, a psychopomp.

Obama was certainly “not smart” and that’s a good thing, or America would be in even deeper trouble after 8 years of Obungo’s surreptitious attacks on American institutions and convention. He nearly destroyed many police departments for example.He certainly destroyed Baltimore’s PD for example,the DOJ, the CIA, the IRS and the FBI.

Obama was not smart and is not smart. Because of that he will eventually come to a tragic end.

There seems to be much ado regarding the evidence on hand which was purportedly used to justify the killing of the Iranian savage recently.

Why did we need any more evidence then what we had already? We know he killed 600 or so Americans and even ONE justifies his becoming a smear on the pavement. He deserved death for his past activities and we shouldn’t be concerned with his future plans since those have been permanently shelved.

[Don Corleone]

Rand Paul makes cogent arguments but they seem to be much too little and way too late.

You may need to calibrate your sarcasm detector. This is the full sentence:

Why else would the smartest president ever, Barack Obama, through his sham legacy foreign policy accomplishment, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) agree to cede Iran a secured path to developing nuclear weapons?

[ScottinVA]

I’m quite sure that was said with the utmost in sarcasm.

Hey Candor, you can’t recognize satire?

Hey Candor, you can’t recognize satire?>>>

Can you?

This fake impeachment has cost several lives. Time to pull the fake impeachment plug before it starts WWIII.

I have been posting this meme since the terrorist, the Salami was killed.

After my second cup of coffee that first morning, I had just about come to what was posted below:

:^) The reason our enemies and trade rivals are emboldened IS the impeachment. All Demagogic Party trash belongs at the end of a rope.

These terrorist Iranian top dogs figured, wrongly, that they could attack our embassy and worse without any reaction from an impeached president.

They planned to put President Trump into a Jimmy Carter mode after they seized our embassy in Iraq.

Trump's response, panicked them and they descended into Iraq to plan more problems for our president and Iraq. That killed their #1 and #2 terrorist planners.

Who is up next to become sliced/diced and cooked dog food in Iraq?

It is past time to end these fake impeachment hearings.

[okkev68]

He did as did everybody else on this thread. Except you.

[Candor7]

One’s sarcasm deserves a sarcastic reply.

[Candor7]

So you did not recognize MY satire?

How very myopic of you.

Barrack Obama is watching you!

[shotgun]

It was sarcasm...

NO! Via Kerry etal the iranian puppets, the dem party, participated in it as they do now openly to this day!!!

[GOPJ]

They had a plan - and PART of that plan was knowing democrats and the media would kiss terrorists butt if it was put in front of their creepy little liberal elite faces...

The other part of the plan was to kill Americans - like they’ve been doing for decades... only THIS plan involved MORE deaths.

They’ve been at war with us for a long time... the press is too stupid to know that - - and democrats feel there’s money to be made, speeches to be given, books to ‘sell’, and kickbacks to be had...

[Candor7]

so was mine.

[shotgun]

Got it!

“NO! Via Kerry etal the iranian puppets, the dem party, participated in it as they do now openly to this day!!!”

A part of me believes that Kerry is the instigator. Having Embassy hostages being paraded around by the Iranians would be an excellent anti-Trump campaign.
