You are kidding, right?
Of all your posts, this one is my far the most….I am being charitable here..the most uninformed. Do you have any idea how much of Iraq is controlled by the Iranians? Do you know how much of Iraq is now an Iranian proxy state? And exactly who in Iraq is going to waltz over and arrest the “spiritual leader” Terrorist surrounded by Iranian backed militia? And nothing gets into Lebanon via the airport without Hezzbola’s approval. Another Iranian proxy state.
The Green Zone in Baghdad is the US’s largest diplomatic compound on Earth..by far. What goes on outside of the Green Zone is a whole other story. Do you know who many of the Iraq legislators are sympathetic to Iran first and foremost? Pretty big percentage.
Yep, just waltz on over and arrest the man. Just like Pineapple Face Manuel Noriega and have him attended Jimmy Carter’s bible study. Righttttt.
Seems to me that General Salami had his diplomatic immunity revolked.
“(Evil Right Wing) Fox News reports that Iranian Gen. Qassim Soleimani has been killed in a rocket attack at Baghdad International Airport. Soleimani was the head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ elite Quds Force. President Trump ordered the attack and our military carried it out.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo had said that Soleimani is as dangerous as the late ISIS leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, who was killed by a U.S. strike last year. I think that’s true. In any case, Soleimani is responsible for more American deaths than Baghdadi was. His forces have killed hundreds of American troops in Iraq.”
One confusing headline read, “Terrorists have left the Green Zone.” That I find laughable. Last I looked, AOC, deBlascio, Newsome, and the entire Clown Car have not left our stateside Green Zone.

Good. I’d consider holding it forever. It’s just one more little payment into what is basically an infinite moneypit. What is exactly is the point in giving them billions of dollars (the amount referenced is simply one red chip in the game)? To jam a pawn into the Russian side of the board? More nation building? To make sure all the local Grand Poobahs get their monthly envelope o’ cash?
Feh. I realize it’s important to get Trump any way you can, but I sure wish everyone would quit throwing money into a shredder. If nothing else, spend the cash on bleach cannons to clean up San Francisco streets.

Well, perhaps Iran’s next leader shouldn’t be out in the field helping implement IEDs.
It’s an interesting question. Can a bonafide terrorist leader get a pass if he also is a government official? Just think how happy the Blue Mob would be with the right assassination though, you could dance in the streets. Tears of joy over dead Republicans.
The whole thing strikes me as a righteous killing, and I doubt the Iranians were going to get any more riled up than they were. There’s something sad about smaller countries who feel the need to punch above their weight, it’s like the Cubans in Africa.

Jan 1 was 157TH ANNIVERSARY…of President Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation, which freed the slaves in the states then in rebellion against federal authority. The Democrats reviled Lincoln at the time, and they have continuously reviled Republican presidents and other politicians right up to the present. Today, as in 1863, conservatives–virtually all of whom are Republicans–want to liberate African-Americans from poverty and dependence through free enterprise. Now, as then, the Democratic Party bitterly resists this independence movement. Just ask Candace Owens.
It is easy to be pessimistic about our country’s future when we see the absurdities that play out on the public stage, day after day. But I am an inveterate optimist: if the republic survived pro-slavery Democratic Party treason in 1863, surely it can withstand the milder version of totalitarian identity politics that we see from the Democrats today.
In 1865, a plot among die-hard Democrats resulted in the assassination of President Lincoln. This was the culmination of a vitriolic campaign of hate that the Democratic Party mounted against Lincoln from the time of his entry onto the public stage. Lincoln was such anathema to the Democrats that his election led directly to secession. Having lived through the Reagan administration, I thought I had seen the nearest possible approach to the hate that the Democrats unleashed against President Lincoln.
I was wrong. The Democrats’ hate machine is cranked up to 11, and has been ever since Donald Trump foiled the Democrats’ plan for a Clinton renaissance and a continued march toward socialism. The current impeachment farce is just the latest manifestation of the Democrats’ rule-or-ruin approach to politics.
As we enter the new year, we should all pray that the Democrats’ insane hate campaign does not lead, as it did in 1865, to the assassination of our president.

Nah. One is killing an active combatant on the runway of a country he was actively destroying.
The other involved turning the key on a million person effort. 100k’s dead.
Imagine how many people would be alive if George W Bush had been a bit more selective in his actions. Iraq already had a perfectly good dictator, you just need to convince him to change a few of his ways. A combination of threats and bribes is just the thing.
Of course, if you can’t tell the difference between a nudge and an outright invasion, I can’t help it. Whether this worked or not only time will tell, but jeez, isn’t all that starting-a-world-war hyperbole a bunch of fun!!!!
