President Donald Trump gave the order to kill Iran's Quds Force leader Qasem Soleimani a few days ago following a Hazbollah mob's attacks on the United States' embassy in Baghdad. Now that Soleimani is dead, we're learning that this isn't the first opportunity a nation has had to kill the Iranian terrorist.
According to a January 2018 report from the Israel newspaper Haaretz, leaders in Israel were prepared to kill Soleimani back in 2015 but the Obama administration put an end to the plan. Just as Israel was "on the verge" of killing Soleimani, the Obama administration alerted Iranian officials about Israel's plans and their close tracking of the military leader.
In January 2018, Trump administration gave Israel the go-ahead to kill Soleimani should they get the chance. According to a source who spoke to the Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Jarida, "there is an American-Israeli agreement" that Soleimani is a "threat to the two countries' interests in the region."
It really isn't that surprising to learn that the Obama administration intervened to keep Soleimani alive. President Barack Obama never stood by Israel even though the country is considered the United States' greatest ally in the Middle East.
Tyler O'Neil at PJ Media noted an important tidbit about the revelation: "Yet the news that the Obama's administration prevented Israel from assassinating the Quds Force leader seems particularly significant, since the Obama administration also kept a list of approximately 500 American soldiers who were murdered by Iranian IEDs. Since the Quds Force spearheads Iran's operations outside the Islamic Republic, Soleimani would arguably be responsible for all of those deaths."
President Trump's response to the attacks on the U.S. embassy in Baghdad is a stark contrast to President Obama's lack of response when a similar situation took place in Benghazi back in 2012.
Mazal tov!!
Obama, homo traitor
“sourced” only on a “report” from Kuwaiti newspaper Al Jarida repeated in Israeli newspaper Haaretz ... yeah, right ...
In other words, Obama was protecting Soleimani. Plus funding him with 1.5 B and 150M in unmarked hard currency. To what end?
Some people need to get together and decide how to spell Hezbollah. I have seen Hezbollah Hizbollah Hazbollah and Hezbullah. I wonder how long before it is spell Hizboolah. Liberals love to pronounce the names of exotic places the way they hear them on PBS. Moombye, Gutter, pokeeston. So erudite yet so pretentious. Always struggling to be the most holier than thou.
Aw, snap! Orange-haired guys have more fun.
Bastard deserves his own drone visit.
Maybe you missed the memo, but you can post full headlines now.
And Nancy would have done the same thing had Trump "asked her permission."
The MSM and the media are scrambling to condemn the killing to protect Obama and his “legacy”. They don’t want the real truth of what went on during his presidency to ever see the light of day
Why did Israel ask Obama?
I thought I had reached my limit on disliking Obama, but this story stretches it a little further. God help this country if they ever elect a Communist, Globalist, Dictator again.
Im pretty sure quite a few “planned” to kill this guy
They didn’t
Obama warned him
Or what?
You defend yourself and no more money for you?
Sort of a quid pro quo?
Yes that’s the funny part
Foreign policy is always quid pro quo or common interests
Looks like some of the statements about him wanting Iran to succeed in their empire-building because he was a Muslim himself aren’t far from the truth.... Telling an enemy what your ally is doing is just evil if not flat out treasonous. No wonder Israel hated him as much as half the country did!
