Bomb, bomb, bomb . . . Bomb bomb, Iran
You have won the internet.
Solemeini planned this and died before he could see the attack start.
pallets of cash
It works like this. Opportunity has now knocked with Iran attacking from within their borders. That basically gives us a free “wham” to respond by attacking our highest value target within Iran. It would take extraordinary restraint to hold back at this point.
Rod of God getting ready to see more action.
I notice already that Twitter is starting to take down tweets about this.
“...Should be to kill them all, let God or Allah sort ‘em out...”
Agree. I had to work with some of these azzholes in the oil business. Arrogant and American-hating POSs ...the whole lot of em. Yep. Kill em all, along with their sympathizers too, and let their demonic, little piss-ant god, allah, sort em all out.
“It is likely that this attack was planned and the reason for solomani’s death.”
Agreed. THAT is why the President could not tell the blabbering dems. Solomon-i thought President Trump was weak because he was “impeached.” They did not even know what it meant...nor do the Dems, for that matter.
The mullahs are watching from a bunker in Tehran deep underground.
We can call it “Mountain Fatigue”, just like Lil Kim
John McCain’s corpse might serve as a good inert drop. Just gotta fit the JDAM unit to it.
President Trump will take out their ability to fire missiles and the leaders who ordered the attacks.
Search “Al Asad” on twitter. Plenty of tweets and even a video supposedly of the missiles leaving Iran.
“Initial report: Mass casualties among US occupation forces.”
Source?
I know this is not “the mother of all battles” as Saddam used to brag about. But if this kind of thing is the retaliation the prime time TV audience will be bored to tears and go back to Seinfeld or Brady Bunch re-runs.
Of course something horrendous on American soil would bring out the dimwits on CNN and in the NYT to sob hysterically “See what Trump did, the war criminal, he made them mad and caused them to have to do this.” Never responsibility for actions. After they censored the dead “hero’s” savagery to captives and slaughters of innocent people, plus killing over 600 Americans. Still touted as a nice guy and an icon.
"This morning, courageous fighters of the IRGC's Air Force launched a successful operation called Operation Martyr Soleimani, with the code 'Oh Zahra' by firing tens of ground-to-ground missiles at the base of the terrorist and invasive U.S. forces," the country's state-run news outlet ISNA reported.
A U.S. official confirms to ABC News that ballistic missiles have been fired from inside Iran at multiple U.S. military facilities inside Iraq on Wednesday morning, local time. The facilities include Erbil in northern Iraq and Al Asad Air Base in western Iraq, the official said. "

Time for regime change in Iran. Because Iran is going to be totally screwed when their leadership is dead and their infrastructure is damaged. Maybe bring in the Shah of Iran's son, Reza Pahlavi? 'The Phoenix Project of Iran, designed to bring the various strains of the opposition closer to a common vision for a post-clerical Iran.'
Correcting my #25.
It looks like Iran is dumb enough to shoot missiles from their territory and kill American military.
But nothing on Fars.
Iran wants to play..OK fine, let’s turn Iran into a sandbox, been a long time coming
Regrets to Joni Mitchell:
They took down a city and put up a parking lot.
