Bad news is Mjl might need to be a little more careful - being that he is an American and I believe he is still in the Middle East.

LoL, thanks for the concern Gutter, but I'll take the win.

Given what happened in Highland Park, maybe I'm safer here.

Whatever…If someone is for “death to America” then they deserve to be whacked, civilian or military.

BTW, how did Zawahiri get that bump on his forehead? (Too much contact with his prayer rug)?

The resident "class officers" only call out Dems.

Why is your response to this different than when we took out Qasem Soleimani?

As I described above, it is because Soleimani was a high ranking military leader for a wildly unstable major adversarial country (Iran) at the time he was killed. There aren't any countries that have launched missiles at an airbase where US forces are stationed as retaliation after the killing of Ayman al-Zawahiri, correct?

Some follow up to this point.

"The US Justice Department announced criminal charges Wednesday against a member of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps for allegedly trying to orchestrate the assassination of John Bolton, who served in senior national security positions during the Trump and Bush administrations.
The alleged plot was "likely in retaliation" for the January 2020 US air strike that killed Qasem Soleimani, commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the Justice Department said."

Whew. Thank god Al-Qaeda would never retaliate for us killing one of their leaders.

The fact that IIRGC attempted to orchestrate an assassination of one of our security advisors makes me think killing Soleimani was even more justified/necessary. Not the opposite. Those are bad/dangerous people.

And LOL @ you trying to portray that you have some insight into which killings of leaders of various terrorist organizations will bring about possible retaliation. I needed a good laugh before bed.
