    I should add that there is no truth to the rumor that several Democrats in Congress have just opened Swiss bank accounts.


    Further, "Iranian MP Abolfazl Abutorabi threatened to attack White House during open session of parliament Sunday 'We can attack the White House itself, we can respond to them on the American soil,'"

        Considering how the left responded when Trump opened up talks with North Korea (swinging wildly between proclaiming he would start WWIII to incompetently giving everything away while getting nothing back -- sorta like Obama and Iran), I think it is more than reasonable to say that if Trump didn't do anything the same folks now saying he wants to start a war would be lambasting him for the missed opportunity.

        • Listening to the MSM and the Democrats (sorry, I repeat myself), this seems to accurately summarize their view:


          I expect that Hollyweird has already began making a movie lionizing Soleimani like we've seen the MSM already doing and likely starring George Clooney.

            Those labels seem more accurate that way around than the other way around.

            While you're on cartoons, here's on that's been doing the rounds on twitter:

            "I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump
            "Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism" - George Orwell
            "[Capitalism] as it exists today is, in my opinion, the real source of evils. I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy" - Albert Einstein

              Incomplete enumeration.
              "Yes. President Trump is a huge embarrassment. And it’s an embarrassment to evangelical Christianity that there appear to be so many who will celebrate precisely the aspects that I see Biblically as most lamentable and embarrassing." Southern Baptist leader Albert Mohler Jr.

              • Petraeus Says Trump May Have Helped ‘Reestablish Deterrence’ by Killing Suleimani


                David Petraeus: It is impossible to overstate the importance of this particular action. It is more significant than the killing of Osama bin Laden or even the death of [Islamic State leader Abu Bakr] al-Baghdadi. Suleimani was the architect and operational commander of the Iranian effort to solidify control of the so-called Shia crescent, stretching from Iran to Iraq through Syria into southern Lebanon. He is responsible for providing explosives, projectiles, and arms and other munitions that killed well over 600 American soldiers and many more of our coalition and Iraqi partners just in Iraq, as well as in many other countries such as Syria. So his death is of enormous significance.

                  Yeah, and other notable military figures are pointing out that the Iranians have been becoming bolder and bolder, to the extent that their top military commander could just fly into battle spaces with no concern whatsoever for his life.

                  Subsequent military leaders will be keeping an eye on the sky, will not be sleeping in the same bed two nights in a row.... It's a lot harder to "run a war" when you have to keep hiding.

                  And you can bet the Israelis are cooperating to the fullest.
                  The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                    I wouldn't bet against the Saudis cooperating as well.

                      EGGzackly. It all comes back to "my enemy's enemy is my friend".

                      I think what a lot of people don't understand is that there will be a need for a PUBLIC response condemning this action, but often there is a PRIVATE response like "how can we help".

                      It's kinda like when Israel blows up a nuclear reactor in Iran and we have to scold Israel, but behind the scenes "great job! Our intelligence paid off, eh?"

                      You can't always go by what world leaders are saying publicly.

                          This is an ad for "Obama's policy", right? Never mind the fact that you're misrepresenting what it actually was. Most of us rightly see that virtually any outcome is superior to nuclear war.

                              I believe you are severely neglecting the Bush policy that preceded Obama. We have been over this at least several times before.

                                That doesn’t answer my point, so try again.
