Trump can't get a story straight. Remember when he had the whole Comey flip-flop where it wad over investigating Hillary and then he later says in an interview it was over the Russah thing? I imagine this is the same case. At one point it was about the embassy and then it became preemptive for whatever reason.

Seems you can't get a story straight. This topic doesn't have anything to do with Comey. Orange Man Bad.

I believe the Democrats have gone one too far with their criticism of the killing of two terrorists. Moderates and independents are going to be massively turned off by this rhetoric.

1) US takes out dangerous Islamic terrorist
2) Iran retaliates against the US by attacking Israel
3) US defends Israel from incoming attack to keep it from escalating into a major war


Israel is going to have to exercise a LOT of restraint.
Iran did not have the missiles they have now. There will be no restraint this time around.

Your comment is basically another Liberal/Leftist attempt to blame the “ever evil USA†for all the worlds problems and you failed in your attempted of passing on misinformation as the truth.

For some odd reasons, the Liberals/Leftist believe if they tell a lie, long enough, it somehow becomes the truth... A massive failure!!
It was called Iraqgate and was covered in the New York and LA Times after the first Gulf War. The US provided either directly or through intermediaries, such as Germany, the means to develop or produce chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons. That was why the precision bombing during the war was so effective in knocking out the programs and the weapons stockpiles.

The US also helped him with satellite intelligence to direct where mustard gas and sarin could be used against Iran's ground forces.

When Iraq gained the upper hand in the war, the US started supplying weapons and spare parts to the Iranian military to force the two sides into a stalemate.

That'll sure mess with his golf game, always looking around before every shot. It should at least keep him indoors more. This is a guy who can't eat normal food because he thinks some one is going to poison him. Now he's got this to worry about. This will be for the rest of his life.

Default Soleimani was actively plotting attacks on US troops

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-i...Gl_oNWqe2vkceo Well there you go. He was planning attacks on our service men and ambassadors. I guess we should have sat on our hands and knees and let our troops be killed? Or we do everything possible to protect our serviceman? I think Trump made the right choice.

I do as well. Sadly, those in this country that are irrationally determined to harm America would far rather see US servicemen and ambassadors slaughtered. Then they could point and say Trump did no better than Obama. Intead, a POS terrorist that killed Americans has assumed room temperature (granted THAT may have taken a couple of days) and they are all upset.
