Guess Obama's terrorist buddies shouldn't have been vacationing in Baghdad and trying to Benghazi the embassy there.

Thank God Trump was in charge and not Obama or Hillary. We'd have more dead ambassadors and servicemen.

And you've learned nothing from that disaster, which is not surprising.

It will be interesting to see how the Democrat's presidential candidates try to tap-dance around this.

If they are not careful, they will offend their radical left wing base, if they sound in any way celebratory.

At the same time, they will offend moderate middle American voters who still love this country if they come across as derogatory.

This should be interesting.

So, did the US obtain Iraq's permission to kill someone who was legally in their country?

It won't be interesting - it is entirely predictable. They will take the anti-American pro-terrorist position as Democrats invariably do.

Attacking an embassy is an act of war, retaliating by killing those who orchestrated the attack is completely understandable to all but those who support attacks against that country.

I'd be interested in seeing links to that as well.

I don't think he really means any of that, he's just upset that several terrorist enemies of the US just lost their lives due to orders by the evil orange man.

Of course I mean that, we just declared war on Iran. And for what? To appease Israel, or to start a war with Iran?

Neither are good ideas, no matter how blindly you follow Trump.

Really? Do you have a link to the US declaring war on Iran?

I'm pretty sure that's something that didn't happen.

What the US just did was retaliate against those who carried out an attack on a US embassy and nothing more.
