It is apparent the media now has a second client, the Iranian mullahs.


US media is competing with Iranian propaganda machine for profit and viewers.


ProoF? Now claim QS was the equivalent of Elvis and MLK!!!!! and so by association, Trump killed elvis and MLk!


We now have a real live soviet style propaganda enterprise operating in the USA.


Pelosi and friends make assumption regarding Trumps intentions and always assume nefarious intent.


Meanwhile a declared terrorist, by global standards, shows up in Iraq and dems assume he was just making an innocent visit.


Do not democrats realize they have left earth far behind and no longer have any connection with earth people, let alone what they think and what is important to them.


Collectively the democrat party has morphed into something unimaginable to the free world.

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.

Out of 1,005 adults polled.

Who were the adults polled, and where? That is crucial to know. If 70% Democrats are polled, the results will be in favor of the outcome preferred.

I think Soleimani's death makes the world a safer place, seeing as how he was a terrorist.

It was a reasonable response to a dangerous terrorist.

Militia leaders in Iraq, are crawling deep under rocks or bugging out of Iraq completely!
Trump met them on their terms, not by appeasing them. Something they completely understand.

Mimicking the Trump campaign again, are we? Americans have come to expect vile comments such as this from the rabid apologists and Trump himself. The United States of America deserves better. Many will be Voting Blue No Matter Who.

Campaign themes such as the one this post is copying are helping the Democratic Party.

Because it would identify sources and methods (thereby endangering the lives of human sources and burning non-human methods) and Democrats can't be trusted to not leak these sources and methods.

Americans were divided on the wisdom of the drone strike at the Baghdad airport last week that killed Soleimani and others: 42% supported it, 33% opposed it; 25% said they didn't know what to think. Republicans were much more supportive than Democrats; independents were almost evenly split.

As media War, War, War fever subsides, support for Trump choosing to kill Soleimani will increase.
