Obama national security adviser says Trump ‘absolutely correct’ to kill Soleimani


Former President Barack Obama’s national security adviser fully supported President Trump’s decision to kill top Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani and floated the "possible collapse" of the theocratic regime in Tehran.

“What the administration did in the Soleimani case is absolutely correct,” Gen. James Jones, 76, said at the Atlantic Council Global Energy Forum in Abu Dhabi....

That doesn't make him wrong. We have certainly target lower level terrorists for less. Just imagine if Clinton had taken out Bin Laden when he had the chance, and he did have multiple opportunities. 911 may have never happened. Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan may have been avoided. We aren't talking about killing an innocent man. Bin Laden like Soleimani had American blood on his hands. Clinton feared angering the Saudis so he passed on killing Bin Laden.

I hate to admit it, but Trump did the right thing.

Obama's NSA director got it right. A rare exception.



Democrats are supporting the brutal dictators who oppress the people.

The policies are the same during each administration. It's not really a surprise.

The US is bringing ISIS back through the Syrian border after bombing the Iraqi base camps that were monitoring the border traffic and assassinating two of the military commanders overseeing the fight against ISIS. The bases were positioned at the junction of major highways leading from Deir Ezzor to Western Anbar where the US has most of its military bases and can provide protection and training.

The US has recently threatened to repeat the same upheaval in Iraq in order to bring about regime changes. The US did the same in 2013 when they refused to 'fight' ISIS unless the government in Baghdad stepped down.

Anywhere China has a growing economic presence can expect to see US-sponsored terrorism emerge in order to deny access to resources.

So Trump supporters are now looking to former Obama aides on what is right or wrong? That's odd. Dude is welcome to his opinion, but folks can also decide for themselves what they believe
