When it comes to Iran, the Democrats who want to be president are full of sound and fury. They are certain President Trump has brought us to the brink of war and demand answers about the imminent threat of attack the administration cited.

But if you ignore the noise and focus on their actual words, you notice a giant hole in the criticism. The leading Dems are not arguing that Trump was wrong to drone Qassem Soleimani, nor have they said flatly they would not have approved the mission.

Their sound and fury, then, amounts to empty screeching and nothing else.

What was Soleimani doing in Iraq, is the question. And what has he been doing for the last decade? Attacking and killing American personnel. And he was supported by the Iranian government. That’s an act of war in itself. Taking him out was a reasonable, even restrained, response.
