Now I see a new chance for Nansi's team for another cause for impeaching the President of the USA. The enemies in inside the USA. The so called migrants came from certain countries are not just migrants but warriors of a primitive ideology to destroy USA from inside, and to make a country based on their primitive belief and practice. Stupid lefts and liberals are supporting them. Finally all Americans have to pay the price for feeding them and making them grow in own country. We will see more terrorist attacks and riots centered on the area where they are majority. Americans should realize who is the real enemy who are living inside the country.

How come it was OK for al-Baghdadi to be killed ( actually he blew himself and a couple of his kids up when cornered ), but not this other scumbag?

Taking action without the tacit approval of the country's govt is just wrong.

Soleimani killed hundreds and wounded thousands. Death was the correct ending, though using a rifle-fired weapon would have been better and provided more deniability. There are extremely accurate smart weapons that can be accurately targeted to a seat inside a vehicle. Look up DARPA's EXACTO.

Getting the POTUS to keep his mouth shut was the most difficult part that failed. Wasting an expensive missile is crazy.

...and just like that, the world seems like a decent place after all, democracy is allowed to flourish, everyone have their say, regardless.

Soleimani killed hundreds and wounded thousands. Death was the correct ending,

If military commanders responsible for the killing of hundreds deserve death, does this also apply when the killed commanders are American?

Soleimani acted as a terrorist. He was treated like a terrorist. I do wish a cheaper weapon was used.

Hezbollah is a terrorist organization that happens to be backed by Iran. There is no question about this. Hezbollah has been firing rockets across borders for over a decade.

How come it was OK for al-Baghdadi to be killed ( actually he blew himself and a couple of his kids up when cornered ), but not this other scumbag?

1) Because Soleimani was a military general in a recognized state. Al-Baghdadi was not.

2) Because Soleimani's death is likely to provoke an armed conflict with that recognized state.

3) Because Soleimani was widely respected by millions. Al-Baghdadi was not.

4) Because Soleimani did not drown civilians in cages or burn them alive for being heretics.

For starters.

He was still a scumbag responsible for the deaths of Americans who needed to be taken out before he caused more deaths.

The Iranians aren't dealing with Jimmy Carter or Obama. If they strike Americans or American assets they are going to pay a heavy price.

Radical Islamists do not care who they murder, or where they commit murder.

Soleimani was in Iraq to lead his fellow terrorist as they attacked, and murdered, Iran's neighbors, as well as U.N., and U.S. troops. Soleimani can now lead his fellow terrorists into the afterlife. Dozens of terrorist supporting protesters, and a couple of U.S. Congressmen, seem upset that their hero was finally put down.

It would help if someone told us what exactly Soleimani was actually plotting, no?

Interesting insider report here:

https://english.alarabiya.net/en/features/2020/01/04/Inside-the-plot-by-Iran-s-Soleimani-to-attack-US-forces-in-Iraq.html

Why has this not been available in the mainstream media? Why are we asked simply to believe?

0 ( +0 / -0 )

Soleimani was an Iranian combatant in Iraq, which made him a legitimate, military target. Soleimani was there to continue his dramatic military escalations of hostilities against U.N., U.S., and other allied forces.
