US Assassinates Iranian Military General

[Serryah]

Is it? Iranian backed insurgents attempt to attack the US embassy in Baghdad.

Where'd you get this info from?

General F*ckface is at the Baghdad Airport clearly orchestrating things from Iran's side.

Proof?

He's a legitimate military target AND a well known terrorist in the region. Diplomats however, are NOT legitimate military targets.

Don't know where diplomats come into it but you can fill me in?

So you're good with Canadian or US or anyone else's Generals also being killed by strike without warning or approval from even the governing bodies of those nations? Good to know.


So if say Pompeo goes to Iraq or anywhere else overseas and gets blown to pieces, you won't be crying foul?

The terrorists from 9 11 were NOT from Afghanistan.

No, but the individual and organization behind it were located there. They also were "allowed" to slip back and forth across the Afghani/Pakistan border.



Quick history since your MSM sources refuse to educate you. Al Qeada and the Taliban hooked up together. Al Qeada isn't linked to any specific country. However the Taliban are the former Afghan mujahideen. Bin laden was a member of the mujahideen during the Russian occupation. When he went back to Saudi his radical ideas got him disowned from his family. He went back to A-stan and recruited the more militant members of the mujahidden to form the Taliban. The people that were recruited to carry out 9-11 were trained in A-stan.

You're wasting your time on these people. If Hitler and the Third Reich were at our doorstep, and within hours of launching an invasion of Canada, beginning at Naval bases in Halifax, I'm sure if the internet were available, they would be complaining about how "misunderstood" the Nazis were.

If a war wrote out, would you trust them to have your back?

As a hockey writer assessing the Don Cherry firing wrote: "The problem with our country, is we strive to be a nation of Bobby Orr's, but our nation is made up on Ron MacLean's."

Shush Johnnyronnie.

There's a difference between Bin Laden and this General.


Though he was in Afghanistan and then Pakistan, Bin Laden really didn't belong to any country and thus was a 'free man' if it came to taking him out.


This guy was a general of a country already having issues with the US.


You can't compare the two situations of these two murdering pieces of garbage to be the same thing.


They deserved death; OBL deserved his in the way he got his. The death of this general however carriers WORSE repercussions which no one seems to give two shytes about, and they should.

Generals are soldiers. Soldiers know the risk. What's the difference whether it's a general or a grunt? They're both playing the same game.


Here, let me draw you a clear picture. Iran and the US are NOT friendly. Iran has been trying to take northern Iraq for years. Hussein's gas attack on the Kurds years ago was also an attack on a few Iranian forces who had infiltrated the north. Iraq is still unstable and here's a leading general of their sworn enemy at Baghdad airport who just happens to be there for what, to have a little chat with the Attorney General?

If it was open war, that might be a legit excuse. The US and Iran are NOT, however, at war, no matter the back and forth.

Here, let me draw you a clear picture. Iran and the US are NOT friendly.

No duh.

Iran has been trying to take northern Iraq for years.

No duh.

Hussein's gas attack on the Kurds years ago was also an attack on a few Iranian forces who had infiltrated the north.

What do the Kurds matter to the US now?


Hussain is dead.


So...

Iraq is still unstable and here's a leading general of their sworn enemy at Baghdad airport who just happens to be there for what, to have a little chat with the Attorney General?

Iraq is very unstable and the US being there continues to make it so.


So point one, I'll agree the general was likely there not to have a sweet ol' party and just chill.


The US has made air strikes in Iraq and Syria in retaliation against Iranian groups supposedly attacking facilities belonging to the US in Iraq.


Iraq claims that the US doing so puts Iraq security at risk (no duh) and the air strikes happened without enough evidence, and since they are the 'host country', as it were, the US IMO should produce enough evidence to satisfy them BEFORE attacking anywhere using their country as a base for said attacks.


All of this is part of the back and forth the US got itself involved with when it went to Iraq illegally.


BUT.


That still does NOT give the US the right to assassinate this general when there's been a) no declaration of war and b) on the home ground of country they are supposed to be there to help keep STABLE, which ironically won't be now because of this stupidity. C) I don't care who is President; any action like this that could lead to a wider, general issue that could/likely will spread globally should have been discussed with the rest of their Government FIRST and other allies at least informed of it so it was known what to expect.

D) Not only did Obama not go after this guy, but BUSH 2... of ALL people, didn't. And there's a REASON they didn't. Do you know the reason, do you understand the reason? Or do you fall under the "he was a bad guy" excuse and that's it?

Trump says Iranian military leader was killed by airstrike ‘to stop a war,’ warns Iran not to retaliate

President Trump accused Maj. Gen. Qasem Soleimani of plotting “sinister attacks” against U.S. personnel in the Mideast before a U.S. airstrike killed him.
“We took action last night to stop a war,” Trump said during remarks made from his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida. “We did not take action to start a war.”

source: WAPO


What a friggin lunatic. What active war was he stopping. ??? What was this imminent threat that did not even require an elevation in terror alert code?? Remember that code?? Even now....... with the expected consequences.......no alert elevation................just more military to select arses.


and his supporters actually believe him??

Exactly!!!

How he got offed is what is called reciprocity.

Pompeo is a diplomat.

Not saying the man didn't deserve to get annihilated.
It's the HOW that's the problem.

That'd be nuance, subtlety, and complex, adult thinking. Totally lost on MAGAhats.

Sad but true.

 

[DaSleeper]

It would be interesting to find out if the same people who attack Trump for sanctioning this killing, applauded Obama for Bin Laden's killing!

U.S.-led coalition denies conducting Baghdad air strike

The blast last night against a medical convoy was not done by the US, possibly a set up to get Iraq sentiment to turn against the US.

 

[Mowich]

Exactly this reason.


And if you're okay with the US doing this, then you're okay with some other nation going in to kill off, say, Kushner? Or Pence? Ivanka? Mulvaney? Guliani? Cause THAT is what this does.


Dangerous as he was, his assassination is not worth the shytestorm that's going to follow.

Get a grip, kid. This guy deserved his fate.

 

[Twin_Moose]

Personally, I was all for going to Afghanistan after Bin Laden.
But his being from Saudi, along with most of the others from that day, is another reason I hate that SA gets a free pass while other nations don't.
The biggest factor to be totally WTF and against this assassination is that it didn't go through Congress, like it should have. If I were any American in the US, I would be SERIOUSLY worried at this point.

Obama ordered drone strikes on persons of interest between 1400-1500 times without consent of congress, but I guess that was different.

Bloody well stated. Spot on.[/QUOTE]You're pathetic. Your TDS is so f*cking far gone you're more worried about some f*cking piece of shit terrorist because Iran "legitimized" the goof and made him a general. CLEARLY you have zero idea of the importance of northern Iraq to the region. For Christ sake, it's not like they killed the asshole while he was in Iran. He is a well known terrorist organizer in the region who entered a country that is still fighting against extremists, of which the "good" general was one. So tell us you f*cking terrorist symp, what the f*ck was General douchebag doing in Iraq that makes you think his killing was some kind of assassination? Particularly when he's there as Iranian backed militants attempted to attack the US embassy. And in case you weren't aware, the best way to defeat an enemy unit is to take out the COs when you can. It has a demoralizing effect and creates disorganization and confusion, generally making it much easier to defeat the unit.




Ah never mind. Go finish mourning general douchebag. It's clear you're still distraught over the death of that humongous pile of terrorist training human excrement.

Not shocked.


I haven't been a kid for years, either but thanks for the weak attempt at an insult.

And you would be - shockingly - wrong.


Wasn't right then, either.
