The rest of the title is: But the Obama Administration Put an End to the Operation

[Salvavida]

Mazal tov!!

[wetgundog]

Obama, homo traitor

[catnipman]

“sourced” only on a “report” from Kuwaiti newspaper Al Jarida repeated in Israeli newspaper Haaretz ... yeah, right ...

[Oldexpat]

In other words, Obama was protecting Soleimani. Plus funding him with 1.5 B and 150M in unmarked hard currency. To what end?

[webheart]

Some people need to get together and decide how to spell Hezbollah. I have seen Hezbollah Hizbollah Hazbollah and Hezbullah. I wonder how long before it is spell Hizboolah. Liberals love to pronounce the names of exotic places the way they hear them on PBS. Moombye, Gutter, pokeeston. So erudite yet so pretentious. Always struggling to be the most holier than thou.

Aw, snap! Orange-haired guys have more fun.

Just as Israel was "on the verge" of killing Soleimani, the Obama administration alerted Iranian officials about Israel's plans and their close tracking of the military leader.

Bastard deserves his own drone visit.

Maybe you missed the memo, but you can post full headlines now.

Just as Israel was "on the verge" of killing Soleimani, the Obama administration alerted Iranian officials about Israel's plans and their close tracking of the military leader.

And Nancy would have done the same thing had Trump "asked her permission."

[dowcaet]

The MSM and the media are scrambling to condemn the killing to protect Obama and his “legacy”. They don’t want the real truth of what went on during his presidency to ever see the light of day

[Eleutheria5]

If you speak slowly and carefully, it's hizbu Allah. But in colloquial rapid speech, the Alif of Allah is subsumed in the nominative suffix -u attached to hizb for hizbullah, which suffix itself might be skipped, to create hizbAllah. So how do you spell it in English? It depends on who is speaking and in what context. But in Arabic, it's all one and the same, to wit: حزب اللاه . The rules of grammar and pronunciation are not fixed, inflexible things in Arabic. They shift like sand dunes in the wind, or alliances between clans.

Why did Israel ask Obama?

[Savage Rider]

I thought I had reached my limit on disliking Obama, but this story stretches it a little further. God help this country if they ever elect a Communist, Globalist, Dictator again.

[wardaddy]

Im pretty sure quite a few “planned” to kill this guy

[wardaddy]

They didn’t

Obama warned him

[Aria]

Or what?

You defend yourself and no more money for you?

Sort of a quid pro quo?

[SunkenCiv]

• Report: Obama Administration Stopped Israel From Assassinating Soleimani in 2015
• Iranian commander: Today Iraq and Lebanon, tomorrow Jordan [2015]
• We just got the clearest sign yet that Iran's military mastermind is calling shots in Iraq [2016]
• Iranian general boasts of Quds Force killing U.S. troops in Iraq [2017]
• Whistleblowers Expose Truth Of Benghazi: Iran’s Quds Force And Suleimani Led Attacks Against Americans, US Military Ordered To Stand Down [2019]

[wardaddy]

Yes that’s the funny part

Foreign policy is always quid pro quo or common interests

[JLLH]

Looks like some of the statements about him wanting Iran to succeed in their empire-building because he was a Muslim himself aren’t far from the truth.... Telling an enemy what your ally is doing is just evil if not flat out treasonous. No wonder Israel hated him as much as half the country did!
