Sorry libre-tardes not buying your faux outrage.

Feel free to don a white helmet and go to Libya and fix your dear leaders mess before commenting.
He sure did. One of the reasons I am not a big democrat fan is acts like that....including what happened in Libya. Hilary was a big part of all that. No protest from dems when Obama and Hilary were doing it.

While all the GOP con men are cheering on the Bone Spurs in Chief, we can guarantee that not many of their kids will be in yet another endless war including Jr and Ivanka.

why did he deserve it? is he any worse than any US general that has spent years overseeing the mass murder of people in the middle east? if he deserved it, then i assume you would think that many US military deserve it also.

I'm not saying that Soleimani was a good guy and didn't deserve to die. However, this definitively IS an act of war. Trump should have at least conferred with Congress before committing us to another war in the Mideast.
I was under the impression that we were already at war with terrorism and terrorist !!! I do believe I've heard that for many years by members of both parties !!! Is that not true ? Did that war end and no one was notified ?

That's fine, but understand that most people are prone to believe the intel before your instincts on this.

We sure do like to provoke wars and get us trillions further in debt.

Been years since the US were the good guys. We should have left the Middle East decades ago.

Looks like the Republicans might get that war they've been wanting. More American lives are bound to be lost now. All for what, oil?

This was 100% the right move imo.
Exactly. None of our diplomats got hurt unlike the botched inept handling of the Libya situation by Obama-Clinton that got our ambassador killed.

HUUUUMMM...…. yeah, maybe !!!
Agreed. Progs/Libs/Dems/Socialists/Communists are a bunch of defeatists.

That second paragraph might explain a part of that Epstein situation. But evil and immorality knows no borders, politically, idiologically, ethnically, or otherwise.

This is inaccurate Iranian propaganda. "This guy" just got done orchestrating an attack on a US embassy, and was not the only embassy attack he's planned. He's also the guy responsible for countless attacks on US soldiers leading to hundreds if not thousands of deaths.

I get that the domestic enemies of the US are upset and are desperately urging the US adopt a stance of weakness and cowardice, but that is unlikely to happen which is bad news for the enemies of the US both foreign and domestic.

it isnt for oil, its to spend $1 trillion + on the military a year. oil is just an additional special interest that donates to politicians to help make these wars happen but the primary motivator is the military industrial complex. the future will look back on the US government not too differently from how we look back on the nazis.
