US Assasinates top Iranian general in Iraq. It is a declaration of war but will there be one?

[phxspurfan]

This makes more sense than anything the Trumpsters have put out.
They just need to acknowledge that he said and did exactly the opposite when the same type of problems were presented to him in the Strait of Hormuz, US citizens captured by Swift boats, and the downing of a drone and other technological harassment.

Armchair general/Monday morning QB bull per usual. Easy to criticize people but when you’re in the chair and someone attacks/kills your people, any normal person would take revenge.

[phxspurfan]

"presented with an opportunity by his military advisors"

nope, "reports" say the actual military staff are horrified by the assassination storm, and 100s or more of US military and citizens will die.

Intel on the itinerary of a foreign general doesn’t just appear out of thin air. It comes from the military leadership.

The president of the US is supposed to be a bit more than a normal person.
Wise counsel, wisdom, all that rot... Leaders? Leaders because they inspire? I guess not.

Does it even make a difference? No.

Again you have said absolutely nothing to make any kind of argument.
You understand what I have said and you got nothing.

You lack basic level of understanding of the event but you want to argue, based on what exactly? Your supreme wisdom over all things?

Full of yourself much?

What do I get from offering you an argument, more requests for information?

It could be put on the table as an extreme reaction, an appropriate reaction, a less than appropriate... who knows.

I did Google it. Didn't find anything about the contractor.

The left seems to understand the concept when it happens to Iran.

No you dont have the basic level of the understanding of the event, nor the events that happened not even a year before this.

So you just go to ground level Ms. Crutchfield per usual.
You really have just defaulted yourself from this discussion by not adding anything of significance.

We are not Iran.
There is a difference.

Dec. 29

Two days after the Kirkuk attack, U.S. F-15 warplanes bomb three sites in Iraq, one of them the city of Al-Qaim, and two sites in Syria's Euphrates River Valley. Iraqi sources say 25 people are killed and 50 wounded.

U.S. officials do not disclose precise locations but say the targets, tied to Kataeb Hezbollah, include weapons storage sites and command posts used to coordinate attacks against coalition troops.

So this guy was just there for brunch obviously.

Maybe he was the actual target and Soleimani was a bonus.

Excellent.
Now why dont we hit the same type of depots etc.. in Afghanistan? And kill the major military leader of the Taliban maybe yesterday?

[DMC]

Right, Iran had no business there with the leader of the group attacking our troops. We were invited to be there.

This has nothing to do with Afghanistan. Try to keep up, Edith.

You dont understand the comparison, meathead.

[weebo]

Iran already won...they're better off standing down...just keeping pushing the rhetoric and baiting our moronic clown leader to do even dumber

[hater]

An American was killed and a US embassy was attacked. Pretty simple.

um the US embassy was mobbed by Iraqi protestors. They were not even Iranian for christsakes you cannot pin it directly to Iranian government lol

this is like China pinning the hong kong protestors directly to US government and assassinating Gen Petreus

and an american was killed? duh he was in Iraq. there are dozens of militia groups that kill americans there

most of those are Sunni funded by Saudi. you dont see Trump assassinating a saudi gen do you?

please wake the up
