"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.
World is better off without that dude but problem is this action opened the door to new problems that might cost even more lives than if the general was still alive.

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?
More like common sense. Don't poke a hornet's nest.
we're not talking about bees, we're talking about the leader of a terrorist group who has killed hundreds of Americans. Sorry it didn't work out for ya.
Gee, when did they release all the classified information about Solimani for the public to weigh and base their decision on?
I must have missed that ......
