Democrats are weak kneed so afraid of Iran. Obama was a wimp. We have a president that is not allowing Iran to push us around and dare burn down our embassy. The Iranians are the aggressors.



The hate of the democrats for this president is disgusting to say the least. Obama lied about Benghazi and the democrats supported Obama and his lies .


The democrats watch HATETRUMP TV and it shows by their posts here. Killing a terrorist is saving American lives. We know that democrats don't care about Americans as they mimic the talking heads that hate Trump. The left media is praising this terrorist now. How disgusting for our media to do this.. A terrorist murderer. Anyone supporting the left is a traitor.



If we just let Iran be the aggressor and we do nothing , we invite more aggression. At least we have Trump and Pompeo who understand this concept of aggression toward the United States. We will not lie down and do nothing and be trampled on.

True ...claim or blame is his modus operandi in his selfish interests to protect his fragile oversized ego...

Unfortunately, Trumps oversized ego and confrontational government means that the USA attacked Iran. The USA can claim whatever they want, but killing a general in a non-military non-war situation is inexcusable. If the USA had anything against the Iranian General, why didn't the USA bring him to trial through proper USA or UN channels?

Was he a terrorist who should be killed on sight, or a general who represented the government? He was not a terrorist. He was a General in Iran. People may not like what he, the Iranian General, did, but assassination is not an option.

So explain how killing a terrorist is a selfish endeavor? It is our military that took out this guy and was translated to the president that they could take him out and wanted Trump to gave the OK.

Would you like it if a foreign country conducted such a strike in the US? Imagine a person wanted by say Russia for terror reasons, and this terrorist is visiting just fine a legally in the US, and Russia conducted a strike near BWI airport and killed him, would you be for that? Or if Mexico feels the US is not doing enough to curb white supremacist groups that killed its citizens, would you be ok if Mexico then conducted air strikes on these groups in the US?
This is a joke, right? Tongue-in-cheek? Surely you didn't intentionally sound so ignorant of military strategy.

Absurdly, the democrats and republicans in the USA spat it out, oblivious to what it means to their collective decision to assassinate an Iranian General.

Do not want to answer the questions?

What is good for the goose, is good for the gander. Yes? No?

I simply asked (my post was a reply to my original post) is the US had permission from Iraq to conduct such a strike. So far I have not found the answer.

To add; this guy was lawfully in Iraq, so that means either the accusations against him are BS, or Iraq is a full co-conspirator with Iran and this guy, thus should be treated just like Iran, one of the two. Because right now, looks to me Iraq has been cooperating and providing political and material support for US designated terror groups and terrorists.

The term "terrorist" is in question. The man was an Iranian General. His country is in an uproar that he was assassinated by the USA.

Yes, the USA assassinated the General of Iran. If a General has violated law, why wasn't he brought to trial through the many options available to the USA? There is no war between Iran and the USA, so it's not an option to simply kill a military person from another country such as Iran.

We have no friends in the region but the Kurds. Our invasion opened the door for Iran and Shias in Iraq. Nobody is really an ally there.
We have Israel.



I was looking at a job announcement yesterday, located in Bahrain. We've had a base there since the 40s. There's strategy involved. The importance of which is probably lost on the libs.
