Iran always retaliates in a very nasty way, and this will be on US soil in the next 2 years. Major terrorist attack. They never fail to retaliate.

Turn Tehran into a glass bowl.

[fuzzylogic]

Can you imagine their jubilation if PDJT was assassinated while visiting Iraq or Afghanistan?

This is huge....and awesome.

...and - BWAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!(breathe) HAHAHAHAHAHAH..............HAHAHAHHAHAHA!!!!!

The Middle East has cost too many American lives.

Believe it or not, I’ve heard of Soleimani for a number of years now. I knew that he was responsible for the deaths of US soldiers in Iraq. He was responsible for Iran’s growing influence in Syria.

None of this was a secret.

I’m sure our intel guys were watching him for many years. I’m just wondering why it took so long to act?

we need to un-authorize and adios this patch:

They probably will. However, Iran is a very top down society, and I understand this nozzle was considered “Iran’s Rommel”. Think of him more as “Iran’s Yamamoto”. Quds is now headless. If and when they strike out at us, it will probably be in an uncoordinated manner. That will undoubtedly make the job of spoiling, or at the very least blunting the attack just so much easier. One way or t’other, we’re far better off with this dipstick dead.

Would this be tieing up loose ends?

I have no problem knowing and believing that it came from the Oval Office.

Benghazi - 13 hours begging for help, soldiers told to stand down
Baghdad attack - 13 minutes until help is on the way, 13 hours until the mastermind is dead in a strategic strike.

[going hot]

With this president, not likely stuff gets tasked and carried out without his say so, especially of this importance on the scale.

I would be more interested in the quality and procurement of the precise intel, and the precise delivery of the "message".

[eyedigress]

It really does not help to speculate the how.

In this world, yes it can happen.

[grey_whiskers]

Don’t forget that Yamamoto went to Harvard. Typical.

[Delta 21]

Some would say that.

[PGR88]

Now he’s enjoying his 72 raisins.

[JohnBovenmyer]

Looking forward to photos smuggled out of Iran. Old signs with photos of Soleimani, overwritten: “TRUMPED!”

[milagro]

BRILLIANTLY stated summary of the difference between great leadership, and ZERO!

[grey_whiskers]

What a mess.

You're quoting the cleanup crew directly, I take it?

If Dubya weren't such a Muslim-slurping cretin, ("Religion of Peace"), how many thousands of American men would be alive and well instead of dead or crippled?

Still, it could be worse.

Imagine being Jimmy Carter tonight.

[aquila48]

Just like Benghazi...

Being a pussy in the Middle East has cost American lives.
