Poll: Americans Say Trump's Soleimani Assassination Makes America Less Safe, Trump "Reckless" 52-34
How could it possibly made us safer? Those 'Quds' have never tried to conduct terrorist attacks in US, but now they might do so.

Could we ask the same of Bill Clinton or was it Bush 1? One of them was briefed that the brave and well loved freedom fighter Osama Bin Laden was up to no good but nothing was imminent and then looked what happened.

Imagine if they had acted and when he poked his head out they took their shot.





What I don't understand is that when Bin Laden was murdered was their any imminent threat? but Obama was held up like some type of hero?



Bin Laden

Salami

The world is a better place without them.

What "impeachment"? Your woman is stalling the process.


More like, Trump ordered the killing of Soleimani to continue the US on the safe course, all while dealing with the silly charade the Democrats are choosing to engage in.


That sounds closer to the truth. I like that.

If a 52-34 majority think Trump is reckless, then they also think he's not fit for office. Bad news for Trump's reelection chances.

Wag the Dog: "By 47%-39%, those surveyed said Trump ordered the killing of Soleimani in an attempt to divert the focus from his impeachment." Given the poor reception by senators at the Iran briefing -- where evidence that Soleimani was an immenent threat was lacking -- the "wag the dog" theory moves from silly conspiracy theory to a plausible explanation.

A better poll would be directed to the terrorists.

Question:

As a terrorist that targets Americans and American interests, does the recent action taken by President Trump make you feel more or less inclined to continue your terrorist activities?

Of course this poll turned out the way it did. I'm surprised it's not more lopsided given the brainwashing of the American people by the MSM/DNC (one and the same entity).

Agreed! Build a fire under it so the smoke can disorient the occupants.

Then set the nest afire!

You left out the part that only 3 people were surveyed.

Correction. You mean the 1000 picked by the leftist rag USA Today.
Poll of 1,005 adults taken Tuesday and Wednesday;
Big Fail.



Where's the war you insisted that Trump started? Ahh yeah. The same people like to you about that one too.
