Did you ever make one criticism here when Obama/Biden started 3 wars and moved 150,000 troops in Afghanistan? Did you ever offer up any condolences for the 10s of 1000s who died in those needless wars started by Obama/Biden. I'm guessing not, but feel free to prove me wrong on that one.

We know where this is coming from. You hate Trump. Trump kills them you critcize. Trump doesn't kill them, you criticize. It's called TDS and all of us here know you have it big time.

What was he doing there? Vacationing in the Green Zone?
A follow up question: What are we doing there?

Sorry - this has nothing to do with impeachment. Intelligence was gathered, and an action was taken.

If nothing else - Trump has benefited from impeachment - so that claim is baseless.
No, nothing has happened as of yet. They'll have their time of mourning first. Trump needed a diversion from what is going on at home. I'll never be convinced otherwise.

That tweet from Trump was posted in July 2018.

I'm sorry. I should have clarified. He deserved to die. He was evil for sure. I think Trump made a misguided calculation though, and who the hell knows how it will affect us?

Do you have any posts here where you state this about the Obama/Biden's 3 wars of choice and the Afghanistan Surge?

This guy had a bad reputation throughout the Middle East.

Because of TDS - he will probably be a martyr over here.

Soleimani Schemed Against America As His World Crumbled

According to the Pentagon, Soleimani was planning a major, imminent attack on American targets at the time of his demise.

...
President Trump demonstrated Friday that America possesses superior intelligence. The attack could only disabuse Tehran of the illusion that Mr. Trump is a paper tiger. Yet, it was Soleimani’s life project to build Iran’s strength by mobilizing regional proxies, rather than Iran’s own army, to strike when he so commanded.

Yet his go-to terror proxy, Hezbollah, is now widely despised in Lebanon. Blood-soaked Syrians are similarly appalled by Soleimani’s foreign militias that kept their butcher in chief, Bashar Assad, in power. Yemenis similarly suffer, and even in Gaza, where Soleimani recently made some inroads, many secretly rue his tactic of propping up militias while bonding them in blind loyalty to Tehran.

Hundreds of thousands were killed in these countries in recent years as a direct result of Soleimani’s activity. He was responsible for the death of hundreds of Yanks as well. Yet things started deteriorating even in neighboring Iraq. In November 2018 Shiite civilians burned pictures of Basra’s Soleimani-installed governor, Asaad al-Eidani. A year later protest spread from the oil-rich but water-parched south to the rest of the country.

If you truly believe this, then how about letting the Commander in Chief do his job with the information that he has, instead of armchair quarter backing based on political bias.
