At the moment, I'm taking the DOD statement at face value. That this guy had stuff in the works. What else was he doing there? I don't think trump wants to start a war, he could have started at least one before now.

It's an escalation, Iran will respond. People on both sides will die. Mostly innocent people, the poor always get the shaft. Is it fewer people than this guy was planning to kill? Who knows.

Hey, who's that?

What's your point?

It wasn't a tweet.

You don't know that.
As soon as Khomeini said "no you can't", if you weren't expecting this, you haven't paid attention to Trump.

I'm not saying that's the only factor, but a not unlikely catalyst.

It's unfortunate when you allow your dislike for Trump to make you dumb.

It has been the exact fear people have warned about with Trump since before the election. How is it dumb? It was predicted.

It has no basis in reality.

Qassem Soleimani was LITERALLY responsible for the deaths of hundreds of American servicemen in Iraq as well as the current unrest among the militias he supports, funds, and arms.

His death is an UNALLOYED good and the inevitable response that American forces had promised/warned of for days.

The idea that it was Trump's emotional response to a tweet is simple-minded, insulting the American military leadership, and beneath you -- or at least, I thought it was. My mistake.

At least some people had known "for days":

So did we kill the guy that ordered the mobs to go home?

I know, I know. You prefer it when the President of the United States carries out extra-judicial assassinations in the Middle East against American citizens only.

No, just your average chicken hawk.
