Austere Iraqi Mourners Storm Embassy

[Babagounj]

I think if you’re going to kill a military leader of another country you should expect further conflict.

Maybe the Iranian leader first should not have said that there was no way that America could harm Iran.

Those 253 people were most likely the ones who said that they would not be attending the state funeral. Why the delay ? It isn't their custom to have the burial within 24 hours? ...h'mm something does not smell right.

Is Iran no longer a terrorist threat?

General salami isn’t.

 

[bbsam]

General salami isn’t.

Nor is Saddam Hussein.

Cremation is not allowed in the Muslim faith.

This has done nothing to reduce Iran’s influence in the region. That’s the point. If anything, it increases Iran’s strength in the region.

Soleimani was the brains behind pretty much everything the Iranians have done for close to 20 years. You kill a snake by cutting off it's head.

Yeah. They sent him (what was left of him anyway) back from Baghdad in a cardboard box.

 

[Babagounj]

They identified it was him by what was left of his hand with that huge rock on it. If that was the largest piece left, then all they need for shipping was a shoe box.

Why would killing this dude stop an attack? Most places run better when management isn't around.

Very true, but Iranians have become a country of following what their rulers say in order to stay alive.

They said as they executed Hussein...

And the next ruler will tell them to shower Americans with rose petals and champagne.

Might have already stopped an attack if Soleimani was leaving Baghdad International to go coordinate one.

And the next ruler will tell them to shower Americans with rose petals and champagne.

Think what’s expected is the next ruler who wants to kill over 600 Americans and run a terror network will consider that they could be killed at any time for doing so.

The man wasn't hiding, he could have been taken out at any time. Doubt the next would be so easy to get.

We had military clearance to attack in Iraq.

from my understanding.

Right. He wasn’t hiding. He was an Iranian government official. And now they know they too can be killed at any time.

 

[El Correcto]

I actually respect this approach to killing enemies of America. Kill the ones who actually matter, kill the ones the leader of the country will actually take personal notice to. Put them on notice that they could be next.

 

[El Correcto]

We should start assassinating any world leader that speaks out against America.

There should be a drone hovering above their home 24/7, if they threaten us with death we press a button and it shuts them up permanently.

Ive always agreed with assassination of these idiots who plot attacks and gain political clout by calling for death to westerners.

 

[watdaflock?]

Silly person, that is a falsehood. Stop repeating the dems talking points. Trump has always said that he wants the trial , it is old Auntie Nancy who doesn't.

Yup, that's why Trump is blocking all of those witnesses.
