US strike kills Iranian Quds Force commander

[Jhhnn]

We live in an age of asymmetrical warfare. We weren’t at war with Somalia, Serbia, Iraq, Libya or Syria, yet we’ve decisively engaged each. We didn’t assasinate anyone. We decisively took out the mastermind of Iran’s proxy wars across the region, and someone directly responsible for American combatant deaths. If we took him out at a restaurant on Iranian soil, different story. But if Gen Funk II was responsible for the deaths of Shia militia, and someone took him out in Bagdad, that would be a combat death, not an assasination.

He was a combatant. Not all combatants are worth taking out.

I will reiterate my point that the decision to engage shouldn’t be up to the President alone.

Funny that. The Iraqi PM says Soleimani was in Baghdad on a diplomatic mission, to meet with him.

Yes really. We’ve been thugs the moment our gaze turned westward.

Fast forward to today when we've become what the ROTW rightly regards as a rogue state. Be proud.

Clearly Trump should assassinate the Iraqi PM next.

After all it was the Iraqi militias that attacked us.

we weren't at war with iraq?

Could blame Jesus, if it weren't for him being so divisive we wouldn't even be having conversations about the ME.

Ultimately it's God's fault. Like a dodgy real estate salesman, he promised the same bit of land to two different groups of people. And put too much of the oil in one place.

You're not telling the big lie right. You have to blame "Iranian backed militias" even when there's no proof it was them. It could have been a lot of people but it's important to blame them to advance the war mongering Neocon agenda. Because Iran. They're evil.

Blow up officials & militiamen of our strategic partner to deter Iran by murdering the special envoy of the Ayatollah. Which makes Americans safer. No, really.

Imminent? What's in a word, anyway?

Even though I despise Cheney, Rumsfeld and the rest of those murdering war mongers who manipulated Bush II so deftly, I have to admit that they're miles ahead of Pompeo and Barr when it comes to turning themselves into greased pigs running away from the truth and facts of their malfeasance.
