BBC Chief International Correspondent Accuses U.S. of 'Murder' for Strike on Evil Terrorist Soleimani
PJ Media ^ | January 3, 2020 | Paula Boyard

Posted on 01/03/2020 6:58:46 AM PST by C19fan

Early Friday morning in Iraq, U.S. forces struck a target at the Baghdad International Airport, killing murderous strongman Qasem Soleimani, head of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps' Quds Force (or Iran's “most revered military leader” if you believe the Washington Post). There were a lot of really bad hot-takes on the death of Soleimani, including the aforementioned from the Washington Post, but certainly one of the worst had to be that of "award-winning" BBC Chief International Correspondent Lyse Doucet, who called the action against Soleimani "murder."

During Thursday night's live BBC new broadcast the anchor asked if Doucet thought it is "too simple to link the embassy attack we've seen over the last few days and that threats that's come out from Donald Trump after that to the killing of Qasem Soleimani and the others that were killed in these attacks."

The message should be crystal clear to the yohos.

HIT US AND WE WILL HIT BACK HARDER.

There is a new sheriff in town and he don’t play stupid games, kowtow or send out pallets of cash.

I wonder how the BBC feels about their MI6 and James Bond’s “license to kill”. :D

Countries don’t ever commit murder. Individuals do. Countries quite literally have a license to kill. They are sovereign. If other countries don’t like it, they can go to war with them, like we eventually did with Hitler.

This is the same media that refuses to call terrorists “killers”, and instead just softens it down to “extremists”

Yup, no hypocrisy here

snip...In August 2004, [London Arabic newspaper] al-Sharq al-Awsat cited an official who had attended an Iranian military seminar in which General Suleimani stated that Zarqawi and 20 senior members of the terrorist group Ansar al-Islam are allowed to enter Iran whenever they want through border points between Halabja and Ilam in Iraq. When asked why Iran would support Zarqawi given his anti-Shiite activities, Suleimani stated that Zarqawi’s actions in Iraq “serve the supreme interests of Iran” by preventing the creation of a pro-U.S. government. These remarks seem to square with the views of the ICG report on Iranian meddling in Iraq which, while largely skeptical, concluded that Kurdish assertions about Iran’s Revolutionary Guards backing Ansar al-Islam (described by the U.S. State Department as “closely allied with al-Qa’ida and Abu Mus’ab al-Zarqawi’s group” as well as “one of the leading groups engaged in anti-Coalition attacks in Iraq”) “most likely have merit.” ..../snip

It appears President Trump didn’t appreciate our embassey being attacked by Iran.

Trump also knew if he shared information with Democrats they would have tipped off Iran... Sounds like Trump knows what he’s doing.

The UK, once great, is willing prostrating itself in submission at the feet of its new bearded masters, eagerly carrying out their perverted demands.

The USA, with Trump at the helm, is telling the bearded mullas to go **** themselves, or a goat.

She’s a. Canadian that works for the BBC.

Anyways, Lyse Doucet, it’s the ShitHole East. One day you’re launching rocket attacks, the next day, the rockets are launched at you, it’s “part and parcel” of life in the ShitHole East.

I have been in the opinion that the strike was not enough. These people only understand responses that limit their ability to respond. A single target strike is like poking a stick in the eye of a wild animal. Target and destroy their entire command structure. You should not be able to attack a US Embassy or US assets without some serious response. The coddling and pandering to these organizations needs to stop and I think The “T” Administration believes that or has the similar attitude.

I guess I am just tired of the so called civilized nations not doing anything to stop this aggression when they know the players.

For those that think it was murder or other such nonsense just setup a spare room in their home and have these types stay a while...
