So please tell me how is it different from what President Trump did last Thursday by getting rid of one of the monsters!!! We should be applauding President Trump,not calling him names!!!!

Lonewolf

could be Obama sit in a room with his advisers and top military brass and trump consulted no one and was playing golf!

Could be that as usual you have no idea what you are talking about.

Seth

The Dems have a double standard: Obama could do as he pleased, Trump needs their permission to use the restroom.

Lonewolf

well hes a mentally ill man child

bahmer

Amen and Amen

Seth

You l*****ts are really into symbolism, aren't you?

Trump could've been playing Parcheesi or tiddlywinks, or climbing trees, and the outcome would still be the same: the tango is dead as a doornail and dead, in case you haven't heard, is dead.

No, Mr. Lone. Your ilk are hypocrites.

How is it k*****g Soleimani from k*****g Osama bin Laden???. Do you mean how is it different from k*****g bin Laden ?
Osama bin Laden financed and planed the k*****g of over 3000 American civilians in America. On September 14, 2001, Congress passed legislation titled Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Terrorists, which was signed on September 18, 2001 by President Bush. It authorized the use of US Armed Forces against those responsible for the 9/11 attacks and those who harbored them.

The difference is Congress didn't h**e barry. Plus barry didn't do it, he kissed their ass a sniper did.

Back in 2011, Obama ordered the k*****g of an American citizen in Yemen, the drone strike k**led the target and two other Americans. Two weeks later, a second drone strike k**led his 16 year old son, the boy’s 17-year-old cousin and several other innocent Yemenis. Four American citizens were summarily executed with no constitutional protections or due process. While these attacks were underway, Obama played golf, smoked cigarettes, ate cheeseburgers and drank beer.

The operation that k**led Bin Laden differs on several accounts. First and foremost the intent of the mission was to first attempt to capture him, he was k**led only after resisting capture. Last years k*****g by special forces of bu Bakr al-Baghdadi in Syria is closer to the events leading to Bin Laden’s demise. Neither man was a government official and both were wanted criminals. Suleimani was a high ranking Iranian official and not a fugitive from justice, the attack also k**led an Iraqi official and was done in defiance of the Iraqi government. The differences are night and day. As far as notification of congress, it was clearly known that the US military and intelligence agencies had been actively hunting him for years. Special operations forces carrying out the raid would have been at great risk had details of the operation been made public or gotten out. In the case of Soleimani, he was k**led with a drone fired missile, and no U.S. service members would be put at risk if members of the intelligence committee were notified. His k*****g was not part of our strategic goals until your I***t Pumpkinfuhrer needed a distraction from his impeachment.

The difference is Soliemani was a bigger fish than al-Baghdadi and Osama bin Laden combined. Neither ISIS nor Al Qaeda are national military forces, they are not state sponsored terrorist organizations. OTH, Soliemani, Iran's golden boy, commanded the Iranian Quds force, designated a terrorist group in 2007.

The CIA described Soliemani as the single most powerful operative in the Middle East today. Soliemani was Iran's number 2 general, but he was the Ayatollah's number one boy. Ali Khamenei loved this guy, looked upon him as a son, even g***med him to become Iran's president when he took off the uniform. Essentially, Soliemani was Iran's number two leader after Khamenei. Guess who was the driving force behind the infamous "nuclear deal"? Yep, dear old general Soliemani, he definitely wanted to get his hands on nuclear weapons. Obama Did More Than Just Look the Other Way at Soleimani; the Iran Deal Gave Him Amnesty

General Qassem Soleimani instructed Iraqi m*****a leaders, including his top ally in the country, Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, to step up attacks on US targets in the country during a meeting in October at a villa across the Tigris River from the US embassy complex in Baghdad.

The attacks would deploy sophisticated new weapons provided by Iran, including Katyusha rockets and shoulder-fired missiles that could bring down helicopters.

The strategy session took place as mass protests against Iran’s growing influence in Iraq were gaining momentum. Soleimani’s plan to attack US forces was designed to provoke a military response that would redirect that anger toward America.

Soleimani, 62, the leader of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards’ Quds Force, ordered a new m*****a group formed to carry out rocket attacks on Americans housed at Iraqi military bases. Muhandis’ Kataib Hezbollah force was to direct the operations, because the m*****a had the capability to use drones to scout targets for rocket attacks. Soleimani’s forces supplied its Iraqi m*****a allies with a drone Iran had developed that could elude radar systems last fall.

By late December, attacks by Iranian-backed groups on bases hosting US forces in Iraq were increasing to include firing more than 30 rockets at an Iraqi military base near Kirkuk that k**led a US civilian contractor. US airstrikes followed, which set off two days of violent protests at the US embassy in Baghdad.

On Thursday — the day before the attack that k**led Soleimani and Muhandis — US Defense Secretary Mark Esper warned that the United States might have to take preemptive action to protect American lives from expected attacks by Iran-backed m*****as.

In the space of 3 months, US troops eliminated two mortal enemies of the United States, Israel, and the civilized world in general. This is the work of a Commander-in-Chief with a humongous pair of cojones.
