Go to Wictor’s tweet threads.
Not to be underestimated.......’Suleimani’ is known by our military leaders as most powerful operative in the whole of Middle East...he is a very shrewd, frighteningly intelligent strategist.... When our guys deal with Iraq, Iran, Syria, Lebanon and others you can, with certainty, know that Suleimani is in that equation not just militarily but politically. The man is truly evil....
They had opportunity to take him out during OB’s term ....he squashed it.
I think you’re right.....to name Suleimani is significant....and Pakistan who harbors many of Iran’s operatives etc. Suleimani’s been gathering forces of late as the political theater continues in Syria, Suleimani isn’t about to forfeit control of Syria. It’s pivitol to Terhans survival.
Hmmmmmm.....
Maybe those would work well in conjunction with “The Wall” on our Southern border.
The man probably had as much to do with defeating ISIS and al Qaeda in Syria as did any other military figure
Even a stopped clock ...
But no wonder the Israelis dont want him laying out a campaign for Hamas
Jumped the shark, he did
Too bad we dont have a guy like him to help defeat the heroin lords in Afghanistan and Mexico
and of course the will to do that
If you'd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

We'll know the report is true when he'll killed.
I don’t believe Israel requires, nor should require, American permission to act for its own security.
Just kill the SOB and move on to the next objective.
As a practical matter, Israel relies on US backup in any major war - and killing Sulemani would invite a major retaliation by Iran, possibly full scale war. So it is reasonable that it would only be done with full coordination, insuring that everyone is ready.
But the time is right. The loss of Sulemani would throw the Republican Guards into disarray, right when the regime is under threat at home. He is arguably the second most powerful man in Iran, and the real force behind Iran’s gains in the region. Taking him out could be a key trigger to successful regime change - a center of gravity for the regime. And if anyone deserves to be killed, that son of a bitch does.
For Israel’s vital interest, something big must happen soon to address the Iranian threat. Now that they have secured a land main supply route from Iran to Golan, the Iranian-supplied missile buildup threatens Israeli civilian mass casualties in the looming next confrontation with Iran and its surrogate, Hizbollah. Time is now of the essence - months, not years.
Your point is well taken. However, Israel, as you know, has a truly amazing ability to successfully and effectively execute deadly covert operations.
And now the douchebag JINOs at Times of Israel are trying to tip him off. Nice.
I think he already got killed in the Golan. Too lazy to look. I been out all day.
“Unless the intention is to rattle his cage and make him second guess every thing he does and where he goes.”
Thinking I was an assignment for the Mossad would sure as Hell rattle me.
“Israel, as you know, has a truly amazing ability to successfully and effectively execute deadly covert operations.”
Happy Hunting.
I’d like to pop a few caps into that SOB myself. Hopefully, they don’t fight over who gets to kill him, like the “jury” did over Ceausescu.
Killing Sulemani is way overdue.
Restart Iran.
MPGA!
If true, that Trump allowed this info dissemination, then it is purposeful to better our standing, not damage us like Obama did in telegraphing our every move.
...
Agreed. It doesn’t make much sense to blab about it unless we want the psychological effect.
