US may have killed Quds Force Commander Qasem Soleimani

Gaddafi was the head of his government when Reagan bombed his home.

1986 United States bombing of Libya - Wikipedia

And I imagine there was a complaint about that, right? And was Reagan at the time impeached, facing a trial in the Senate?

Esper live on CNN now

Good. Perhaps he will shed some light on the imminent threat that TRUMP HIMSELF claimed as the reason to act.

So it's only bad if facing full impeachment?

That’s crazy!

Wait, now Soleimani was the world's leading sponsor of terrorism?

How do these Saudis escape such scrutiny?

Most of you clowns had never heard of this guy before New Year's and now you guys are claiming emphatically that he was the baddest man on the block.

He pretty much is saying that we are not leaving Iraq and the vote to remove us was basically a forced vote. The Iraq PM says to get out and Trump has threatened sanctions on Iraq. He doesn't want to get into any details.

US Defense Secretary Mark Esper rejected the suggestion that the US killed Iranian general Qasem Soleimani without sufficient evidence of an imminent attack, telling CNN's Christiane Amanpour "the evidence was more than razor-thin."

Trump has only authorized one drone strike in his entire presidency? Would like to see the source on those numbers. Thre govt still reports those numbers right???

All of those are a bit of a stretch to compare to this.

But take a step back. I think the discussion illustrates why this is so dangerous. In this case, we have Trump facing impeachment, and he has shown a willingness to, at a bare minimum, bend the rules when it comes to foreign policy and military matters when he thinks it benefits him politically.

Can you see why, given our discussion, those of us who might be a bit skeptical of Trump don't think it wise to have Trump be the arbiter of whether Soleimani more fit the definition of terrorist versus government official? Its just a little too convenient to have Trump make that call.

Well since both Bush and Obama designated him a terrorist I don't think Trump was being the arbiter of what he was.

They were recognized by 3 countries.

Ok, point?

Shouldn't we be hearing from the point man on Middle East peace, Kushner?

 

[RikidyBones]

Honestly, I'm not sure what the exact remedy or mechanism would be, but he would have to be removed from office.

This has to be a satire account.

 

[hog88]

So what you are saying is that any POTUS facing impeachment should take no military action until impeachment is resolved? Should Bill Clinton have held off on operation Desert Fox? Forgot that one didn't ya?

Yep, the Libyan government complained. Lucky for Qaddafi, he was tipped off by a phone call from Italy's PM.

Good thing Nan didn't know about this one so she could call Soleimani.

I get your point but what does it matter if he was the worst or in the top 5? He was caught red handed in a foreign country working against our interests and coordinating attacks, he's not doing that any longer.

 

[InVOLuntary]

And I imagine there was a complaint about that, right? And was Reagan at the time impeached, facing a trial in the Senate?

No there was no active coup attempt at the time. You are correct.

Under Obama, all of these people died. Under Trump, none died. Well, the homeless in California would be glad to hear what Trump has to say, but not Lopez. He sponsors terror I guess?

Who cares, the POS is dead.

 

[Orange_Vol1321]

So when their regime says they have cells here, I have no doubt they do.

 

[Orange defense]

Those Picts we’re giving to a foreign media before they were given to CNN?? Oh boy, watch out now, cnn is going to have another hissyfit meltdown again

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

What the hell are you talking about?

You don't have a right to know bupkus in these kinds of decisions.

 

[LouderVol]

Most of you clowns had never heard of this guy before New Year's and now you guys are claiming emphatically that he was the baddest man on the block.

And you probably believed he was a bad dude until America went thru and killed him.

 

[ClearwaterVol]

Timing and target is odd in light of what trump believed in 2011.

 

[Orange_Vol1321]

The elephant in the room is most of these Congress Democrats have taken money from Iran and the nuclear deal. Nothing more and nothing less.

They don't give two 's about this guy. They do care about that money not continuing to come in though.

 

[Orange_Vol1321]

Well, what a story from 2015.


Obama's Iran deal has just granted an amnesty to the world's leading terrorist mastermind
