Even Democrats should be ready to admit by now that the American withdrawal from the Middle East under Obama and the Iran nuclear deal have emboldened the Iranian regime ...

Sure. And even Republicans should be ready to admit by now that the American invasion of Iraq and the overthrow of its Ba'athist government had emboldened the Iranian regime.

Well even if we are now playing checkers we were playing tiddlywinks under Obama.

“....direct challenge to President Trump, coming just hours after the President announced a new get tough policy on Iran.”

Author is totally misinformed. There is no way a military offensive can be planned, troops and supplies deployed and the attack begun in “just hours”.

How can Suleymani be leading anything? He was killed in 2015.

The paradigm has shifted. The rich gulf states, along with Isreal and the US are cleaning up the middle east.

You are witnessing the Trump Doctrine in action. The mullahs days are numbered.

The Kurds took out ISIS in Raqqa so their usefulness is at an end. Now Iraq, Iran, Turkey and probably Syria are going to put the Kurds back under their heels.

Nonsense. Iraqis were merely regaining control over sovereign territory. The current Iraqi government, unlike the Saddam government, is doing its best to live at peace with its neighbors and the USA. We have no business trying to dismember Iraq. We need only look so how badly our similar attempt worked in Syria.
