Is Tucker saying that the person who was killed was NOT Soleimani?
Is he saying that all those attacks against America including the one against our embassy were not masterminded by Soleimani?
We were told all of these by our intelligence agencies.
We don’t need to trust the Derp State.
The mullah’s terrorist general was plotting right inside Iraq directly after the attack on the US Embassy.
He wasn’t paying a visit to aid rebuilding its damage. The rumor is they were going to plan a number of attacks. One was going to be an effort to actually overrun and take the entire US Embassy as they did in Tehran back in 1979.
So frankly, I don’t know what Tulsi Carlson is doing here other than making some noise. It’s grandstanding of the worst kind.
Apparently ignoring the embassy was attacked so it really doesn’t matter that Suleiman had other imminent plans.
I watched Tucker last night. Not sure what he’s saying. He had a nasty hateful guest on. Not much but emotional opinion.
Yes the 3 letter agencies were packed with deep state, but I believe military intelligence has been on team Trump from day one!
IMHO Tucker is being rightly skeptical. For good reason. “They” have a bad track record. Gulf of Tonkin, WMD, “Remember the Maine”. We could go on and on. The only thing that makes me wonder is the Brown Shirt Media is having candle light vigils for the guy so Trump must have it about right.
“whether aggression towards Iran is a good or bad thing.”?
Much more accurately: “Whether opposing Iranian aggression is a good or bad thing.”
Tucker makes the mistake of equating the military use of the tactical intelligence our systems provide the warfighter with the political weaponizing of our intelligence capabilities by a relatively few and high up appointed deep staters.
I dont appreciate that Tucker on more than one occasion blurs that distinction.
Its like blurring the distinction between good cops and bad cops.
Well, the guy was 63. Maybe ready to retire?
Could be driving a cab for soda money now in Boston now, just like Bin Laden.
I think tucker is saying there is a glitch in the matrix.
“We were told all of these by our intelligence agencies.”
Plus Trump advisers he has confidence in.
We do have Americans being killed over there. Someone is in charge, and since Soleimani has been parading himself off as the one in charge all these years, we have to take his word for it.
Problem is, President Trump said, "Paint this!", and just walked all over that fresh paint.
Interesting theory.
Pieczenik, for example, has said that Epstein wasn’t killed because the CIA takes care of its assets, and instead he was probably living comfortably somewhere abroad.
There are claims that this guy was an American Deep State intel asset as well.

None of us really know what the risks DJT was weighing. But what I do respect is DJT’s judgment in these matters and how all the Chicken Little’s have been proven wrong again and again.
Tucker has an overpriced web paysite to sell and that makes him suspect.
Tucker, it isn’t so much about what he was going to do but about what he did. In violation of international law he attacked a foreign embassy. Iran has a habit of doing this, ours in Iran, ours in Iraq, ours in Benghazi (Iran rumored behind it) not to mention his directing missiles at American bases. Even if he had zero plans, he signed his death warrant
with those attacks. Trump broke the mullahs’ Pavlovian chain of thought that you attack an embassy and you get a cash treat.
Lots of people on both sides have been caught up in contradictions trying to find some foundation of consistent principles they can hang their hats on, if you don’t mind my mixing metaphors.
AllahPundit, so transparent as to be laughable.
Tucker is correct but misses the other half here. The Corollary question could be asked as well. Namely, since when doesn’t the left trust the intel. After all, during the entire Russia Hoax and FISA scandal they told us that Trump was criminal, a traitor for daring to question the intel community and its motives. Two months ago when he withdrew from Syria we were told he wasn’t listening to the intel and was abandoning our allies. I believe AllahJokePundit was such a critic.
Now, not so much. Now, it’s about Trump relying on faulty intel and being a warmonger.
Which brings one back to AllahFool. Like the dems and every NeverTrumper, the merits of issue are not important. Rather, the contrarian rage is the driver. I hate Trump, therefore I am!
As for Tucker. He is consistent here and not driven by contrarian rage. He has noted that Trump has largely resisted the Deep State/Insider/McCain push to war war and more war!!! Trump has launched two strikes and restrained from launching countless others. Tucker is correct not to throw Trump under the bus as the record indicates he will not silly nilly exercise American military power. The insiders, or so much.
Spewing what ifs as known facts.
Perhaps the President should withdraw all the security (and the staff) from that Embassy and post Tucker there to reason with the Mullahs!
Carlson is busy wasting our time while he attacks a straw man. A one-off killing in the national interest is not a war.
Remember Reagan doing the same with his jet attack on Qaddafi? Reagan delivered a message by special courier
