When it comes to Iran, the Democrats who want to be president are full of sound and fury. They are certain President Trump has brought us to the brink of war and demand answers about the imminent threat of attack the administration cited.
But if you ignore the noise and focus on their actual words, you notice a giant hole in the criticism. The leading Dems are not arguing that Trump was wrong to drone Qassem Soleimani, nor have they said flatly they would not have approved the mission.
Their sound and fury, then, amounts to empty screeching and nothing else.
Even Joe Biden, who gave a 20-minute speech in New York Tuesday, was blistering in his attacks on Trump, but stopped well short of faulting the targeting of Soleimani. The big demands of the former veep, who is running on his long experience with foreign policy, were that the president rejoin the Iranian nuclear deal fat chance and explain what youre doing.
Similarly, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who had to be pushed in a TV interview to admit that Soleimani was a terrorist, said killing him was incendiary but did not claim she would have refused to do the same.
It was left to Michael Bloomberg to underscore the point his fellow candidates were slyly refusing to make. The former New York mayor said it was outrageous for Sen. Bernie Sanders to call the strike an assassination, then added:
This is a guy who had an awful amount of American blood on his hands. Nobody that I know of would think that we did something wrong in getting the general.
Bravo for Bloomberg for daring to say the simple truth. His opponents should be ashamed of themselves.

Is there a single person in the entire Democrat field that would make us feel SAFE?
All of them frighten me and make me fear for my Country.
Creepy Joe doing a great impression of Justice Ginsburg at a State of the Union Speech.
Bloomberg is trying to be the Trump alternative he is following Trumps script.
I’m ready for Trump to be named president for life.
He’s not replaceable at all.
I don’t see the point in replacing a leader every 4 years, especially when your country no longer produces leaders.
Joe Biden appears to be sleeping during Obama’s debt speech.

The thing is Trump wouldn’t have had to kill Soleimani if B.Hussein didn’t protect Soleimani in 2015. Back then the Israelis were planning to take Soleimani out and B.Hussein warned Iran being the terrorist suck ass B.Hussein is.
The problem is that not that the Democrats response is purely for political benefit. My concern is when they are faced with a similar situation, they won’t act decisively; they’ll waffle and hem and haw. And inaction and indecision is the same is no action.
It was high time to slice the Salami, which was full of Salmonella anyway. Amazing how they try to make a talking point out of it before the facts are in. Ready, fire! (aim?)
I dont care what Nanny Bloomers says, he will never get a bravo from me. Well, he could say hes decided not to run for any office. I would bravo that. He is a Napoleonic authoritarian. Go enjoy your money, Bloomie, leave us alone.
But can you blame him for falling asleep? :-)
Trump is exactly right for his time, and I’m very grateful for him.
There will be other times needing other kinds of leaders; and they will come along - Nature and Human Nature seem to always fill dangerous voids, even if it takes a while.
I just don’t see any strong leaders among the current nutsy Democrats; the party should just implode, and we may be witnessing that.
Especially after all this BS from the past 3 years where Democrats do whatever the hell they want while Republicans cower under their desks and the POTUS is thrown to the wind left to defend himself. Who the hell would want to go through that? And here we are past 3 years with 11 months to go till the election and not one Rat has been indicted.
“Im ready for Trump to be named president for life.”
He should really get a third term for all the crap he had to put with from the Rats, Media and Rinos. IMO
Me too - for many reasons.
Yes, he should.
What should happen is he should actually be allowed his first term in 2020, and then his second in 2024.
Man! You said it!!! TRUMP 4EVER!! :-)
