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.
"Americans by more than 2-1 say the killing of Iranian Gen. Qasem Soleimani has made the United States less safe, a nationwide USA TODAY/Ipsos Poll finds, amid broad concerns about the potential consequences ahead. A majority of those surveyed, by 52%-34%, called Trump's behavior with Iran "reckless.""
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.
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.
Had he lived the dead Gen. could have been the head of the DNC !!! Naturally the dems are disappointed !!!
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.

Why won't the Trump administration identify the "imminent threat" that supposedly justified this action? Could it be because there was no "imminent threat" for them to identify?
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.
