The exact moment that Quds commander Qassem Soleimani and his associates were killed in the US airstrike at Baghdad airport was captured on closed circuit video that showed a blinding flash and blazing debris hurtling skyward.

The CCTV video taken close to the airport was obtained by the Daily Mail from Iraqi TV station AhadTV and shows a large explosion as one of the two vehicles was destroyed by precision airstrike.

Iran has vowed a “crushing revenge” and “jihad” on the US following the attack.

Only one vehicle was destroyed?

Can that be true?

If so, it’s got a strike even more fear into their black hearts to realize how accurate our Intel is.

After looking at the video is the conclusion that it will buff out? If not did they get rental insurance?

I remember when NBC used to run the slogan: “Live! And in living color!”

Except this one wasn’t in color, and probably itznay on the “living” part.

"Brigadier General Hussein Jafari Nia and Major-General Hadi Taremi were ​also killed in the strike, along with Colonel of the Guards Shahroud Mozaffari Nia and Captain Waheed Zamanian.​ " Iran needs to hire several new Generals.

[Iran has vowed a “crushing revenge” and “jihad” on the US following the attack.]

So, today is just like any other day, in other words.

This miscreant should have been snuffed years ago, just after he plotted the Libya murder of 4 Americans.

A clear warning to the idiot Iranians of our ability to “reach out and touch someone” anywhere, anytime.

how could Iraq allow these guys in?-

attack the Green Zone and attempt the take over of our embassy?

the best news- sounds like his whole circle of close aides
and generals were wiped out-

I know Saudi Arabia wanted a response because of the devastating attack (with missiles) on their oil fields.

Wonder if they had a hand in helping us locate these bastards

In that context, we are kind of late to the game.

Iran is on a permanent Jihad until all their enemies are dead. It is a foolish fantasy to think that their is anything we could do to appease them.

Pretty Tulsi Gabbard says the attack was illegal. I know she may be a sexpot, but that is not a qualification for being President. An understanding and concern for American soldiers and interests are better reasons and Pres. Trump has those talents.

I wonder how long it has been since John Kerry met with this now dead terrorist? Maybe he was one of the six, has he been heard from since the missiles exploded??

Photos showed fires at two locations. I’m guessing they got the top first. The other car made it a few hundred feet away and it was smoked too.
