WXYZ CH7 Action News (Metro Detroit) reports at length about the 'late great Iranian General' Soleimani but they don't refer to the fact that even Obama considered him to be a terrorist.

I don't buy the crowd size that's being circulated by their media. Remember these photoshopped missiles?

They said 28 were killed in the US airstrike last week.

So, MORE Iranians were killed at their own state-sponsored funeral than in the original attack they were supposedly mourning.

Think about that.

They seem to be using the McCain funeral model.

“They should have had multiple locations.”

Now that’s funny.

Maybe that is our solution to decimating the enemy
We take out one of their top guys, and when the funeral is held, they take out another 35 themselves....

A lot of these people were ordered to go. Would not be surprised if there was penalties for people who did not grieve hard enough like Kim Jong Ills funeral.

Only in the Middle East can a funeral procession carry more death and destruction than our hellfire missiles. Why waste our missiles on them when we can send them a check to fund funerals for their terrorists and get the same result?

Wait. Let me see. Any women in that photo? Not! Yet, the lib American women thinks a husband politely asking for her to make dinner after he comes home from a hard day’s work is dominating.

There was never a public account of the number dead from the 5 Jun 1989 funeral of Khomeini. The general estimate is that a minimum of two million were somewhere within a mile of the funeral procession. The burial ‘group’ eventually gave up on driving it down via the streets. At that point, a US-made Huey was brought in and the coffin was put on it for transport.

The barriers at the graveyard...simply didn’t work. Guards gave up on controlling the approaching crowds. The Huey landed and the coffin was then picked up by members of the Revolutionary Guard. They then started to make walk around...I guess to give the crowd some ‘thrill’. But this just led to chaos, and where the they dropped the coffin. Out rolled the dead dude, in his cloaked body.

So they fumbled around, with thousands trying to touch the dead body. Finally, they got ahold of the body, throwing him back into the coffin, and push back to get the body onto the Huey. Pilot starts the engine up, and with guards pushing back....it lifts off with the dead guy, and they have to wait till the next day to attempt another burial.

It was a five-star circus act, and really demonstrated the strength and character of the leadership in the country....using the funeral as some type of ‘show’.

As for the dead from day one of the funeral...there are no statistics, but I would imagine that a minimum of a hundred were dead. From the day two attempt....maybe fewer, but still more folks died.
