The Impact of Killing Qassem Suleimani
I think everyone considers Qassem Suleimani to be a fucking asshole who deserved to die. He was responsible for thousands of deaths in the region including hundreds of Americans. Butt is killing that murdering prick worth a war with Iran (and their proxies)? Are American troops in the region in more danger as a result of the action? Will there be more Embassy attacks in the region? Will there be an increase in terrorist attacks here in the U.S.?
Naturally, Trump did not consult with, nor did he inform congress of this military action. Trump did not even bother to invoke the War Powers Act. The U.S. Constitution gives war powers to congress, not to the president. The president did not obtain congressional approval. Butt Trump does NOT recognize congress as a co-equal branch of the government so he has again usurped Congressional power.
How will Iran react? Iran considers Trump's killing of Qassem Suleimani an act of war and they vow retaliation. Qassem Suleimani is the equivalent of the head of their Joint Chiefs of Staff. He was a very powerful Iranian political figure who will now be considered a martyr.
Here is the Iranian reaction to Qassem Suleimani's death:
Iran's Khamenei says 'vigorous revenge is waiting for the criminals' following Soleimani's death.
US-Iran tensions after Soleimani killing: All the latest updates
Qassem Soleimani, head of Iran's elite Quds Force, killed in an air strike as tensions between US and Iran escalate.
Tensions between the United States and Iran escalated on Friday after a US air strike killed Qassem Soleimani, the head of Iran's elite Quds Force, and Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, the deputy commander of Iran-backed militias known as the Popular Mobilization Forces, or PMF.
The Pentagon confirmed the strike, saying it came "at the direction of the president".

Khamenei warns of harsh revenge
Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei called for three days of mourning, saying Major General Soleimani's killing will double the motivation of the resistance against the US and Israel.
According to Iranian state television, Khamenei said harsh revenge awaits "criminals" who killed Soleimani.
Top House Democrats: Strikes not authorised by Congress
US Democratic congressional leaders issued statements condemning President Donald Trump 's ordered strikes that killed Soleimani, saying the president did not obtain the congressional approval.
"American leaders' highest priority is to protect American lives and interests. But we cannot put the lives of American servicemembers, diplomats and others further at risk by engaging in provocative and disproportionate actions," said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
"Tonight's air strike risks provoking further dangerous escalation of violence. America - and the world - cannot afford to have tensions escalate to the point of no return," she added. "The Administration has conducted tonight's strikes in Iraq targeting high-level Iranian military officials and killing Iranian Quds Force Commander Qasem Soleimani without an Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) against Iran. Further, this action was taken without the consultation of the Congress."
She called for a briefing on the situation.
Another top Democrat, Adam Schiff, took to Twitter, saying the "American people don't want a war with Iran".
Oil prices surge after Soleimani's killing
Oil prices jumped more than 4 percent on Friday after news of Soleimani's death.

Biden: Trump just tossed a stick of dynamite in a tinderbox
Former Vice President and Democratic presidential frontrunner Joe Biden said while Soleimani deserved to be brought to justice, Trump "just tossed a stick of dynamite into a tinderbox".
Biden posted the statement on Twitter.
"The Administration's statement says that its goal is to deter future attacks by Iran, but this action will almost certainly have the opposite effect," he said. "President Trump just tossed a stick of dynamite into a tinderbox, and he owes the American people an explanation of the strategy and plan to keep safe our troops and embassy personnel, our people and our interests, both here at home and abroad, and our partners throughout the region and beyond."
Pompeo tweets video he says is of Iraqis dancing in the streets
"Iraqis - Iraqis - dancing in the street for freedom; thankful that General Soleimani is no more," Pompeo tweeted along with a video.
More members of US Congress react to US strikes in Iraq
Several members of Congress took to Twitter to react to Trump-ordered raids that killed Soleimani. Republicans praised the move, while many Democrats questioned the US president's ability to order such an attack.
Senator and Democratic presidential hopeful Elizabeth Warren said: "Soleimani was a murderer, responsible for the deaths of thousands, including hundreds of Americans. But this reckless move escalates the situation with Iran and increases the likelihood of more deaths and new Middle East conflict. Our priority must be to avoid another costly war."
Republican House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said: "Soleimani was a terrorist. President Trump and our brave servicemembers just reminded Iran - and the world - that we will not let attacks against Americans go unpunished."
Independent Representative Justin Amash said: "There's a reason our Constitution grants Congress the power to declare war: Every American may be intimately affected by a violent conflict. Soleimani was evil. But our system demands consent for war from the people, acting through their representatives and senators in Congress."
Republican Senator Lindsey Graham tweeted: "Thank you, Mr. President, for standing up for America."
Democratic Senator Ed Markey said on Twitter: "Trump's apparent assassination of Soleimani is a massive, deliberate, and dangerous escalation of conflict with Iran. T he President just put the lives of every person in the region - U.S. service members and civilians - at immediate risk. We need de-escalation now."
Iran's Zarif: US 'act of terrorism ... is foolish escalation'
Iran's Minister of Foreign Affairs Mohammad Javad Zarif warned on Twitter that the US "bears responsibility or all consequences" of its attack killing Soleimani.
"The US' act of international terrorism, targeting & assassinating General Soleimani - THE most effective force fighting Daesh (ISIS), Al Nusrah, Al Qaeda et al - is extremely dangerous & a foolish escalation," Zarif tweeted. "The US bears responsibility for all consequences of its rogue adventurism."
PMF spokesman: 'US and Israeli enemy responsible'
Ahmed al-Assadi, a spokesman for the PMF blamed the US and Israel for Friday's strikes.
"The American and Israeli enemy is responsible for killing the mujahideen Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis and Qassem Soleimani," he was quoted by Reuters news agency as saying.
Iran state broadcaster confirms Soleimani was 'martyred'
Citing a Revolutionary Guard statement, Iranian state television said Soleimani was "martyred" in an attack by US helicopters near the airport, without elaborating.
Pentagon confirms Soleimani killed at 'direction of the president'
The Pentagon confirmed in a statement that Soleimani was killed "at the direction" of President Trump.
"At the direction of the President, the US military has taken decisive defensive action to protect US personnel abroad by killing Qasem Soleimani," a Pentagon statement said.
"This strike was aimed at deterring future Iranian attack plans. The United States will continue to take all necessary action to protect our people and our interests wherever they are around the world."

Was this attack designed to replace the buzz about impeachment?
Does The Donald think this will help him get re-elected?
Remember this?
Trump repeatedly predicted Obama would 'attack Iran' to 'get re-elected'
12:26 a.m.
President Trump may well have chosen to order the killing of Iran's international military commander on Thursday, sharply escalating near-boiling tensions with Tehran because, as the Pentagon said , he wanted to "protect U.S. personnel abroad" by "deterring future attack plans" by Iran and its proxies, but his twitter feed suggests that's not the lens through which he views military strikes against Iran.
When Trump was tweeting his prediction that then-President Barack Obama was gearing up to "attack Iran in order to get re-elected," Obama was actually secretly working on a deal with Iran, China, Russia, and European allies to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons, actively de-escalating tensions with Tehran. Trump has decimated that deal, which he called terrible, paving the path toward today's U.S.-Iran antagonism.
Is that true? Did Trump accuse Obama of planning do do exactly what he just did?

I'm glad that murdering asshole is dead.
I just hope American soldiers don't pay the price.
It's true, this guy deserved to die. He had the blood of many innocents on his hands. But the fact is, so does Putin. So does Kim Jong Un. So does Erdogan. So does Duterte. So does Mohammed bin Salman. Are we going to just start assassinating other governments military leaders because we believe they are murderers and have blood on their hands regardless of consequences? Or was it that this guy was just an easy target for Trump to try and wag the dog and distract everyone from his impeachment by engaging us in an active 'tit for tat' conflict with Iran? It seems eerily similar to what Bill Clinton tried to pull.
"Is this President Clinton's "Wag the Dog"? With his credibility at a historic low -- and his need to look Presidential at a historic high -- the timing of Thursday's surprise attack on suspected terrorists in two countries is a cynics' dream . Remember: this is a White House that, Beltway veterans say, is capable of doing anything . "Of course you don't want to think that the President would launch this attack just as a distraction," says TIME White House correspondent Karen Tumulty. "But you can certainly expect Clinton's opponents to try to make that point." - August 20, 1998
Live by the sword, die by the sword!
Sadly, they probably will.
Unfortunately......they will be the primary ones to pay the biggest price. They always are.
But.....there are plenty more where they come from. Right? /sac
Pretty sure that the response will be an attack on American civilians. Soft targets.
Hezbollah and Hamas (Iranian proxies) may attack Israel again.
What else is new? That is their whole reason for existence.
If they weren't attacking Israel, the Iranians wouldn't be paying/backing them.
That's true.
Glad the bastard is dead. No matter how you look at it this is a major escalation of the tension with Iran. It should be expected that they will strike back and it may not be in the middle east.
You're right. To the Iranis, it is the equivalent of what happened to us with the Twin Towers.
Right.
1 Iranian terrorist equals 2977 innocent US civilians.
Those innocent US civilians were on US soil when they were killed. The Iranian terrorist was on Iraqi soil; and was organizing terrorist groups to attack US soldiers and personnel. The very same soldiers and personnel that helped the Iraqi government and Iranian militias defeat ISIS/ISIL in Iraq.
This is beyond grotesque. The left needs to get some damn perspective.
You apparently didn't notice that I said, "To the Iranis,". And it is grotesque.
Frankly, I don't give a damn about what the Iranians think.
I am not sure if Trump's reaction was due to the backlash he received for the faux pullout from Syria from our allies, Neocons, and chicken hawks; but he only had two choices:
Either pull out of Iraq completely and let them and whatever remaining allies we have there fend for themselves; and face the wrath from the same factions.
Or, do whatever it takes to protect US personnel; which Trump has chosen to do. This shithead deserved to die. As does the one that takes his place, and the next on after that, and so on for however long it takes for them to run out of people that want the job. Which the left now seems to have a problem with.
If Iran is dumb enough to start a war; then let the US military fight to win. And no damn nation building afterwards!
If an American is captured, tough shit for them. Trumplethinskin doesn't like people who are captured.
Glad the bastard is dead. No matter how you look at it this is a major escalation of the tension with Iran. It should be expected that they will strike back and it may not be in the middle east.
While attacks on U.S. installations in the Middle east will probably continue to happen, I imagine they will launch some major attacks elsewhere. For example . . .we have a large number of embassies throughout the world....
My guess is that they will launch at least one attack on mainland America.
It could be a standard terror attack (set off a bomb or dynamite). But there are other nightmarish scenarios:
1. A really damaging cyber attack. Apparently the Iranians are quite skilled in that area.
2. Another possibility we haven't been hearing about much in recent years-- using a Manpad ( "MAN-Portable Air-Defense system ) to down a civilian airliner. ) Apparently Ghaddafi had a large number of theses stored in warehouses in Libya. After he was assassinated, they apparently "disappeared". In all probability they went on the black market....
If one civilian airliner is shot down it would be pretty terrible. But think about what would happen to the world economy if the Iranians or their proxies could down 2 or 3...especially if the airlihes were American or European...
3. Nukes! No the Iranians don't have"the bomb" yet. But they could release radiation over an American airbase...or possibly in the American mainland?
If they are smart they will stick to something like this. We can respond in kind to them. Pretty sure we are better at this than they are.
Again, only hope Iran keeps it at that level.
That would instantly start a war. Not just with the US; but would drag NATO into it. Iran can't handle the US, much less NATO. Iran will find out the hard way what it felt like to be Iraq. Serbia, and Libya when tangling with NATO.
Iran would be a sheet of glass. No other response would be acceptable. The Iranians had better hope their government isn't that stupid.
If this guy were the only bad man in Iran , or one of a few, it would make more sense to assassinate him. But someone else in Iran will take his place, with the now increased motive of revenge for this act they will consider a sacrilegious affront to Iran or some such shit.
The United States has just assassinated a high ranking leader in a country we are not at war with.
Although neocons may like what's to come, I thought all the libertarians on Newstalkers (and Donald Trump for that matter) wanted us to leave the middle east. If we leave now it will appear it is because we are afraid of Iran's retribution. That being the case, I don't think we will be leaving.
Leaving the "endless wars" was just a campaign promise to Trump. He needs a shiny new war for the 2020 campaign.

“Are you familiar with General Suleimani?” Hewitt asked the real estate mogul from Queens.
Yes,” said Trump, before hesitating. “Go ahead, give me a little … tell me.”
When Hewitt told Trump that Suleimani “runs the Quds Forces,” Trump responded: “I think the Kurds, by the way, have been horribly mistreated by us.”
“No, not the Kurds, the Quds Forces,” Hewitt interjected. “The Iranian Revolutionary Guards, Quds Forces. The bad guys.”
“I thought you said Kurds,” a sheepish Trump replied.
Leaked Iranian Intelligence Reports Expose Tehran’s Vast Web of Influence in Iraq
Got that? Candidate Trump confused the Quds Force, an elite Iranian military unit then led by high-profile Maj. Gen. Qassim Suleimani, with the Kurds, a high-profile ethnic group in the Middle East.
Now, fast forward four years and four months to yesterday, when President Trump ordered the assassination of Suleimani from his golf course . In an official statement that misstated the name of the organization that Suleimani was in charge of, the Pentagon said the strike was “aimed at deterring future Iranian retaliation plans.”
This is not a column, however, about the consequences of the United States government assassinating the second-most powerful man in Iran (spoiler: they’re going to be dire !). Nor is it a column about the legality of such a deadly strike on a foreign official on foreign soil (spoiler: it’s hard to justify !).
Rather, this is a column that allows me to express my ongoing astonishment that Donald Trump is president of the United States ; my ongoing bewilderment with a world in which an unhinged, know-nothing former reality TV star and property developer, with zero background in foreign affairs or national security, may have just kicked off World War III. (From his golf course, no less.)
It’s also a column that allows me to revisit what I have long considered to be the most unforgivable take of the 2016 presidential race: “Donald The Dove, Hillary the Hawk.” That was the ridiculous headline to the New York Times column from Maureen Dowd in April of 2016, in which she falsely claimed that Trump had opposed the Iraq war “like Obama,” and then credulously suggested that, in contrast to Clinton, “he would rather do the art of the deal than shock and awe.”
A reminder: Trump pulled out of the landmark Iran nuclear deal less than 18 months after assuming office. He replaced his predecessor’s nuclear diplomacy with a “maximum pressure” campaign on Tehran, which had pushed the United States and the Islamic Republic to the brink of war even before this latest dangerous escalation.
Dowd was wholly, utterly, and embarrassingly wrong — as some of us tried to explain at the time. But it wasn’t just her. Plenty of other people across the political spectrum foolishly bought into the ludicrous premise that Trump would be some sort of dove ; a non-interventionist ; an old-fashioned isolationist .
And plenty of my colleagues in the media continue to push this deluded view. Remember: Trump has twice bombed the Assad regime in Syria; reduced Mosul and Raqqa to rubble; vetoed a congressional attempt to end U.S. involvement in the Saudi bombardment of Yemen; and overseen a five-fold increase in drone strikes throughout the region and beyond. Yet on New Year’s Eve, the New York Times still insisted on bizarrely referring to “the president’s reluctance to use force in the Middle East.”
That line, of course, hasn’t aged so well. Less than 72 hours later, the commander of Iran’s Quds Force and the deputy head of the Iran-backed militias in Iraq, are dead. Killed via drone .
THE UNITED STATES has now effectively declared war on Iran. This is no longer a “cold” war or a “shadow” war. It’s a war-war. And here’s what so terrifying about it: The current commander-in-chief of the United States military as it readies for open conflict with Tehran is the guy who last week accused Canada’s prime minister of cutting him out of a Canadian TV version of “Home Alone 2;” who regularly retweets QAnon, Pizzagate, and white nationalist accounts on Twitter; who believes Ukraine is in possession of a non-existent Democratic National Committee server; who thinks climate change is a Chinese hoax; who wants to use nuclear weapons to stop hurricanes; and who is willing to take a Sharpie to an official government map in order to prove he was right about the weather (when he was, in fact, 100 percent wrong ).
Here’s the twist, though: There were two recent amendments to the 2020 National Defense Authorization Act, or NDAA, in the House of Representatives that might have prevented this week’s escalation with Iran — Rep. Ro Khanna’s amendment to block funding for any military action against Iran that lacks Congressional approval, and Rep. Barbara Lee’s amendment to repeal the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force, or AUMF. Both of these amendments, however, were stripped from the final NDAA that passed the House and Senate — with the approval of elected Democrats in both chambers.
Shame on those Democrats.
And God help the rest of us.
Let me know when he actually does.....won't you ?
A kinda hysterical response don't ya think? Your juvenile reasoning is always ridiculed for just cause
If president Hillary Clinton had done this very same thing, the left would bowing down praising her wise and resolute decision.
Can you call someone's reasoning 'juvenile' here? And "always ridiculed"? Why don't you just avoid John's articles then? I've never understood the reasoning behind John's faithful trolls. Aren't you the same guys that love tranny articles? Too fuckin' funny. What a load ... talk about juvenile reasoning. It seems you have even less reasoning by following someone you don't agree with just to bitch and moan. Don't you have something better to do, like write articles or comment on those articles you have something in common with?
I guess I can say you have inferior reasoning on NewsTalkers.
So what? He knows his name now and he had his ass killed. It's not as if experts who did know his name considered Suleimani a peaceful person before Trump came along.
Then maybe it's more urgent that you [author] learn to come to terms with reality instead of freaking out over everything that Trump does.
Watch what happens next-- within a week to a week and a half. (Probably not an actual "World War"-- but it will be really nasty stuff).
Omigosh. I can't tell you how many men have literally cried and said to me "can't you be serious about anything??!?!" Ugh. Yeah. I'm serious about you never calling me again.
Just like someone took the place of Bin Laden, al-Baghdadi, or any other terrorist leader.
Have news for you. We may not be at war with Iran, but Iran is at war with the US. Otherwise they wouldn't be killing US personnel in Iraq.
I thought all the Democrat neocons and new minted chicken hawks were dead set against Trump pulling out troops from anywhere? Now the left is changing their minds again?
We were never leaving to begin with. The neocons and Democrats would never allow it. Just like with Syria, the backlash will be even more than Trump can handle.
Although neocons may like what's to come, I thought all the libertarians on Newstalkers (and Donald Trump for that matter) wanted us to leave the middle east.
What Donald trump wants (IMO) is to distract attention away from Impeachment proceedings.
Hence the timing-- the American military could've offed this guy years ago...
there are no impeachment proceedings... LOL
and there won't be any "proceedings to distract from" until pelosi sends it to the senate.
too funny
there are no impeachment proceedings... LOL
WTF???
Trump becomes third U.S. president to be impeached as House approves both articles against him.
The House of Representatives voted on Dec. 18 to impeach President Trump on charges that he abused his office and obstructed Congress.
Trump and the Repubs are trying their best to convince the American people that he was not actually Impeached, when in fact, he has been, and always will be. They
Trump and the Repuns can deny it all they want, but, the fact is, even if the Senate trial finds he won't be removed from office, he is still legally Impeached, now, tomorrow, next week, next month, next year, and will stand as long as our country exists. Period. ALL STOP.
Denying it just shows the stupidity and desperation of those who refuse to accept the fact that can not ever be refuted or overturned.
That is so obvious it isn't even funny. Every time things get to warm for Trump he comes up with some dicey way of distracting attention away from himself and this time is no different, other than it could create a unnecessary way of killing off more of our brave men and women in uniform, who are themselves Fathers, Mothers, Brothers, Sisters, Sons, and other beloved family members, just to satisfy Trumps new detraction whim.
And the Creator will not look upon him kindly.
this is january 3, and nothing has happened since 18dec
in other words... old news.
there are no impeachment proceedings going on right now to distract from
but hey, when pelosi gets off her ass.... let everyone know k?
just curious... how long do you think the left is going to sit idly by waiting around for pelosi to get off her ass before they realize they have been played like fools?
week? month? year? matters not, your going to find out
Sometime the sheer uninformed stupidity LOL of the comments on this sites is truly amazing LOL!
(Oh and then there's that "LOL"...laughing at...what exactly?)
Impeachment proceedings happened. And IIRC correctly, our Chicken-Hawk-in Chief is only the third American president in history to be impeached.
And that fact will go down in history.
But more immediately, if his ill-advised action do start a war or even a serious attack on us, it would change the odds of his getting re-elected. So this attack was obviously an attempt at distraction.
(IMO the recent ill-advised attack on an important Iranian hero will have some nasty consequences-- within, probably a week to a week and a half...)
Exactly. It is already a done deal. What has not happened yet is jut the Senate trial. But, what the Repubs are trying so hard to convince others is that Trump has not been Impeached. And that is a lie. One they may believe, however, intelligent Americans, and others around the world, are not so stupid as not to understand and believe that fact.
President Donald Trump has been Impeached. And that is true today, and he will be Impeached tomorrow, next week, next month, next year, and every year there after. That a fact.
A fact that the Repubs hate to admit, but, a fact none the less. And the more they deny it, the bigger idiots they they look.
It's fucking hilarious.
Here's what happens when someone says Trump has been impeached:
Yep. And the only ones that look stupid are those that try to convince others that it is not true. Truly laughable.
Sorry, until Nancy submits the articles of impeachment to the Senate- Trump is not formally impeached in the House.
Why is that second sentence posted as a quote?
Wally does that all the time. He's not yet mastered citing on the site.
I'm going to post a comment that's probably going to make me unpopular, but so what.
It's time to pull our troops out the ME and close our embassies. Let them kill each other but protect Israel as much as we can.
Trump promised to do that in his 2016 campaign.
It was just another lie.
Events have not allowed him to do so. Not another lie.
Okay. He's sometimes is not lying. Sometimes he's just plain stupid.
When events prevented Obama, he supposedly was a liar, lol.
You cannot have it both ways.
Sure you can. You just have to not only accept monumental levels of hypocrisy, you have to champion it. When their guy pulls troops out of somewhere it was the right thing to do at the right time and made us safer. When their opponent does the same it was the wrong thing at the wrong time that made us all less safe. When their opponent takes executive action to kill terrorists in a foreign country without congresses approval it's a constitutional crisis. When their President does the same it's "necessary action" and an "appropriate response". When their opponent gets accused of sexual assault or misconduct the accuser must be believed, even if the accusers recant their testimony. When their President is accused by five times more women it's all a vicious plot by liars against their cherubic dear leader who wouldn't even grab a fly by the pussy. When their opponent uses things like quantitative easing to boost the economy after a massive recession, they refuse to give credit to the recovered economy that results. When their President does the same even when we're already seeing a record high stock market they credit him for any and all growth that results even if he had nothing to do with it.
And when their President orders a secret attack on a foreign governments military leader that we are not currently engaged in a war with risking starting a full blown war, they only see the positives, the fact that another bad guy is dead. When their opponent does the same he's called out for wagging the dog and attacked for not going to congress to first get approval for such unilateral actions pushing us closer to a hot war in the middle east.
If you have no shame, no morals, no conscience, no sense, very little intelligence coupled with mountains of bitter partisan misinformation, it's rather easy to have it both ways as proven by many Trump supporters daily.
Sometimes ??? C'mon, he's almost ALWAYS LYING, especially when sitting up in bed, and he's not plain stupid, he's an EVERYTHING Bagel kind of STUPID !
Well, I used to like everything bagels....
Thanks a lot, Izzy
Hahahahaha!!!
So did Obama while campaigning. After two surges, and a disaster of a SOFA agreement, we are still in Afghanistan. Obama reinserted troops back into Iraq to aid a government that is loyal to Iran. Obama gave us some new conflicts in Libya, Syria, Yemen, and Ukraine to mess around with as well.
Getting US troops out once they set foot on foreign soil is damn well near impossible.
When events prevented Obama, he supposedly was a liar, lol.
Good point!
Whatever criticism anyone could make about Obama, we must keep in mind that he had no "free will"-- those dastardly "events" forced him to do everything he did while in office!

What's wrong with bagels? A little cream cheese and smoked salmon on one is delicious.
Whether or not you're aware of it, Obama is no longer in office and has little if any power to start a war with Iran. But Trump does-- and that's the topic we are discussing.
Yes because of the rise of ISIS.
We don't agree on much but we agree here.
Normally i'm very wary of "isolationism" considering the last time we went into that mode we got a cool little ditty called World War Two but i think this is different. We've done our best (albeit not always perfectly) to help that region out and its clear they do just want to kill each other off. Pull out and stockpile MOAB's and Cruise Missiles in Diego Garcia and other surrounding bases for quick and liberal application if needed.
Either they can learn to live with each other or they can't. Either way, the US is clearly spinning it's wheels trying to help them get there.
And yet our Chickenhawk Bone-Spur-Challenged president continues to send more kids there to die. (I'm still trying to figure out why he's keeping troops in Afghanistan... )
That comment might actually make some sense if it weren’t so TDS ridden.
Liberals ... feeding the dark side by letting the hatred flow copiously since November 2016
Gotta love that TDS bullshit.
And.....Repubs feeding the dark side by letting the hatred flow copiously since November 2008 to November 2016.
How convenient the right forgets its own endless hate infested attacks on Obama the entire time of his Presidency.
Pot...Kettle?
no conscience works best with no memory
And no sense.
Very true. And Repubs seem to have both.
"Let this serve as a WARNING that if Iran strikes any Americans, or American assets, we have targeted 52 Iranian sites (representing the 52 American hostages taken by Iran many years ago), some at a very high level & important to Iran & the Iranian culture, and those targets, and Iran itself, WILL BE HIT VERY FAST AND VERY HARD," Trump said Saturday, explicitly laying out that the U.S. will act if Iran retaliates.
Any serious inspection of the topic at hand clearly shows how much worse the hatred has been towards Trump than it was towards Obama. You’d have to be deaf, dumb, blind or in serious denial to not recognize the disparity.
TDS is real, ODS not so much or least nowhere as prolific or intense. It’s hilarious how some are attempting to turn it around now. Trying to project TDS on others and not where it belongs on themselves. It’s an almost childlike attempt to shield the truth.
“The best trick the devil ever played was to convince the world he didn’t exist.”
So true and people regularly only remember what they want to remember. Libs are channeling that malfunction in a big way these days.
“It is useless to attempt to reason a man out of a thing he was never reasoned into”
There is little “reason” in some of you these days, only hatred and anger. In other words ..... rampant TDS
"Naturally, Trump did not consult with, nor did he inform congress of this military action.
I wouldn't consult with those morons either. They're "Unhinged" Looney tunes.
"Trump did not even bother to invoke the War Powers Act. "
The Bombing and destruction of Libya comes to mind !
This was all about one guy, and one guy only ! Big Deal !
I guess you think the U.S. Constitution is worthless.
I guess that's why you love The Donald.
The miniscule 24% approval rated members of congress , aren't the constitution !
It was VERY self explanatory. Did you miss it....AGAIN ?
That's one of the lamest responses I ever seen.
The U.S. Constitution gives war powers to Congress regardless of any approval rating.
There comes a time, when CEO's of this country, should be called out !
As for this "War Powers" thingy...… Presidents before Trump, haven't needed to follow what the TDS groups are now saying Trump MUST follow !
Make up your mind …… Won't you ?
Quick ….…. What does "Waste" mean ?
That's the fucking truth.
Trollish comments are always worthless.
In real words...… your stumped for a worthy response ?
Maybe a "MEME" is warranted now so you won't find "Troll'ish" as a go to ?
Actually no it doesn't. The War Powers Resolution of 1973 gives them that power which, as usual, Congress is too chicken shyte to use.
Thanx for posting another trollish comment.
A comment designed to elicit a CoC violation from another member is considered "trolling".
Like this ?
"That's the fucking truth."
"Trollish comments are always worthless."
Asking a "Question" about a "Stupid" Response....isn't Trolling !
I do like Mail Orders. Do it all the time on the Internet !
Saves Money !
You need to study up on the powers of the presidency.
So you saying that Obama's numerous civilian killing drone strikes were unconstitutional?
For your edification:
But....this isn't war, or an act of war, or a declaration of war.
It's a military strike to kill an enemy asset, just like Obama proudly claimed to have killed Osama bin Laden.
Feel free to flag any and every comment I post.
I never flag comments so please continue spewing stupid comments all over this thread.
Please read comment #6.2.17
Osama was not a general in any country's army.
He was a fucking terrorist.
I'm surprised to hear anyone criticize Obama for killing that fucking asshole.
Why ?
"so please continue spewing stupid comments all over this thread."
Trolling ? ( A comment designed to elicit a CoC violation from another member is considered "trolling" .)
I'm still laughing my ass off.
It was the right decision, even though bin Laden was all that involved in terrorism at that point.
Just making the comparison that what Trump did was no different.
Trump killed the second highest ranking government official in Iran.
Osama was not a government official.

Is pooping okay?
One of my all time favorite paintings:
We haven't declared war on anyone since 1942. We've done a hell of a lot of fighting since then, though. Are you prepared to condemn all of that just to justify being mad at Trump?
I think Trump should at least had the "gang of eight" briefed.
I'd like to see that kind of thing, but I don't think he trusts those people to not leak the information.
It would be nice to see better communication and trust between the White House and congressional leadership. I do think those leaders often have experience and insight that could be useful.
But we also have to remember that the president doesn't need to consult them on everything. He does have advisors and authority for a reason: so that he can act.
I am sure he informed Putin before hand so that he could have time to prepare a great response when the time is ripe. Trump would not dare act in any way such as that without informing his Master Putin first. He likely even asked Putin's permission first.
Trump activated the war powers act this very evening. It was not required in the context of responding to the embassy attack. Now it is engaged. Trump also told Iran that we have 52 targets one for each of the 52 hostages from 1979-81 of varying value to be at risk if Iran retaliates for their terrorist mastermind being taken out.
TDS is the only answer.
Putin is so smart he as a Manchurian candidate that is acting against Russians best interests./S
He also threatened to attack 52 target in Iran.
Because he doesn't want a war.
Oh no! We should be terrified of war with Iran.....
Sorry progressives. This president doesn't bend over and send hundreds of thousands of dollars to the largest state sponsor of terrorism, behind congresses back no less. I know, I know, you guys are really missing Obama by now....
https://www.cnbc.com/2018/06/06/the-obama-administration-secretly-sought-to-give-iran-access-to-the-us-financial-system.html
Do you actually want a war with Iran?
You must be smocking covfefe.
According to your logic, we should have showed some restraint after the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor. No need for our involvement in WWII.
Wonder what Bush was smoking when he axed Saddam?
Congress declared war after Pearl Harbor.
Saddam was turned over to the Iraqi government.
They conducted a trial and then they "axed Saddam".
In other words wars aren’t avoided by hoping a growing threat goes away. I'm glad to hear it!
They couldn't even beat Iraq in a "War" !
Those "Mini-Boats" of theirs, are "Hell on Earth" !
We can turn Iran into a fucking ashtray, butt I don't want to.
I hear "Go-Fund-Me" is popular !
Gotta watch out for the "Scammers" though.
True, it would be such a shame to kill so many innocent people like we did in Hiroshima. However, there comes a time then the enemy makes any other choice impossible.
I pray that is never comes to that again, but, I do not want to have that happen to our country either. So if once again given no other choice by the enemy, then we have no choice but to respond.
It's not anything the world wants to see, only those to whom human life means nothing, only their own and their egotistical desire to rule the world. And that includes Trump.
Crooked donnie just pee pees on them
hmmmmmmm……
This was so predictable. trump needed a distraction from his impeachment and he got it !
Billy Clintons Iraq "Special Bombing" comes to mind !
Trump actually "Accomplished" something in what he approved !
What did Billy "Accomplish" ?
And you believe Ilhan Omar ? Do you live in her district?
I know very little about Omar and couldn't care less what she says.
I said it was a distraction for trump from his impeachment. Anyone with any common sense can figure that out.
Right! He should have sent them a pallet of cash!
It's been debunked? Who debunked it? CNN?
The "pallet of cash" was returned to Iran because it was Iranian money that they sent us to pay for weapons (mostly aircraft) that we refused to deliver (because of their revolution).
In return they signed an agreement to curtail their nuclear program. The inspectors confirmed that they were complying with the agreement until it was shredded by Trump.
You need to go check your history of the Obama presidency. Pallets of cash were flown to Iran in an unmarked plane in the dark of night as a ransom to get some prisoners released. Iran has never slowed down in their quest for nuclear weapons because they have never allowed legitimate inspectors access to all their sites.
That verifies THERE WAS A PALLET OF CASH!
So how can it be debunked? You can't have it both ways!
So it wasn't the Ayatollahs' money. Which is why all the Presidents of both parties since Carter refused to give it to them, until Obama decided to make a donation to the Quds exporting terrorism fund.
It was cash that belonged to the Iranians.
The World Court ruled that it had to be returned so Obama used it to get the Iranians to curtail their nuclear program. That was a good move.
The Trump shredded the agreement and the Iranians have restarted their nuclear program. That was a stupid move.
Wrong.

See my 8.4.11. Are you suggesting that we sent a bunch of cash to Iran in exchange for prisoners?
Don't post those pesky things call FACTS...they are a distraction to Crooked donnie's supporters truth.
Learn before you speak -
" It was also a lie. Obama lied, and so did others in his administration.
That's the conclusion of a report by the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. It alleges Obama officials pushed the U.S. Treasury to let Iran convert the equivalent of $5.7 billion of funds held in Oman's Bank of Muscat from rials into dollars and subsequently into euros.
It required a special license by the U.S. Treasury, which was granted in February of 2016. But it was never disclosed, either to Congress or the American people.
OK, you say, $5.7 billion. What is that, when big economies like the U.S., Britain, Germany and France have economies trillions of dollars in size?
Apart from the lie, which is bad enough for an administration that claimed repeatedly to be "scandal-free," this money did not have innocuous uses. Far from it.
Our own State Department characterizes Iran as the No. 1 terrorist-supporting state on Earth. Every dollar it gets from us has an ultimate use that is highly questionable, which is the reason why the U.S. imposed sanctions in the first place.
The disintegration of Libya, the collapse of Egypt, and Turkey's embrace of radical Islam, all took place under Obama's watch. None of them were in the U.S.' interest.
The Mideast has been a mess for decades, but things got markedly worse under Obama . A big reason is the Iran nuclear deal didn't make anyone in the Mideast, Europe or U.S. safer. But it did empower the terrorist-supporting mullahs in Tehran.
The mullahs are now funding terrorism on Israel's border. They're biding their time until they can get another anti-Israel president in the White House. Mullahs with a nuclear weapon will be a nightmare. President Trump has a big job still ahead of him, but in his first year and a half in office he has undone much of Obama's damage .
All of this because the Obama administration signed a deal that not only didn't end Tehran's nuclear program, but merely postponed it for a decade, all while doing nothing about its terrorist activities. Now we find that Obama also helped finance that.
Paying to support terrorism, and not telling the American people about it. Still think the Obama administration was "scand al-free"?
It sounded good though !
First of all, that's an opinion piece. Which is fine. Buy you're telling me that no one did anything about it? The repubs did nothing about it? The Keystone Kops party??
Are you saying they couldn't do anything about it after the fact? We didn't know trump was going to try to bribe Ukraine but we did something about it.
Maybe STOPPING Russia in the "First Place"....woulda worked much better ?
WWWIII ?
Great idea!
I thought the Iran thingy was gonna be WWIII ?
I hope you're wrong.
I didn't coin it.
The TDS "Media" has brought that forth.
Did you know that Nostradamus Predicted "Trump" would start WWIII ?
Iran was permitted to "self-inspect" their military sites.
Self-inspect...................... .. .
Doesn't he realize that asterisk by his name in history books is there FOREVER??? Another failure for trump. Trump Airlines, Trump Vodka, Trump University, Trump Mortgage, Trump Steaks, Trump Casinos, goTrump.com, Trump Magazine, etc., etc., etc. Fucking failures, every last one of them.
So true .... in 2001? Broke. In 2020? Estimated net worth over 200 million. Not bad for an Arkansas hillbilly .....
The Clintons are laughing their asses off at their supportive minions.
Yeah. He got impeached for lying about a blowjob. trump is a traitor. A liar, a traitor and a guy who wants to screw his daughter.
Please don't accuse people of lying.
You should try a different bait when you troll.
and what is Trump doing, with his "Mensa" members ...
Bullshit.
Right now his job .... well that and occupying many TDS ridden minds ..... 24/7 365.
TDS , as you put it, does not exist.
It is not derangement to be concerned about having a lying buffoon representing one's country, it is patriotism.
"TDS" is a figment of Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh's imagination. and evidently yours.
Maybe they have a cream or whatever for your affliction. If I see anything at Walgreens' I'll let you know.
Yes, i do understand that's what you believe ..... which is a huge part of the issue in this case
The only medication I need is for Trumpsters to stop believing in a KNOWN liar, crook, bigot, and moron.
Did you read the comment? What would you call it?
Accurate.
And you KNOW that is not going to happen. But you keep trying if it helps you cope.
I guess they are the obsessed ones then, right? They are obsessed with keeping a known liar, crook, bigot, and moron in power, arent they?
Nope. They are obsessed with the duly elected POTUS having to be defended on a daily basis. And all it does, just like the run up to 2016 and all the negative press he got (some of which he deserved) is empower him even more. It doesn't matter what you think John. You and some others here are under the delusion that the comments here get out to the whole of the US and you are making an impression on them. That being the case, I just don't think the impression they see is necessarily the one you want them to.
Sorry John - Clinton nor Pelosi are in power.
Pelosi is the Speaker of the House.
"known liar, crook, bigot, and moron in power"
Like I said - neither of them are in power.
The “Projection” is strong in this one.
Prove it.
No, you want to distract from the fact that Trump is defending American lives and ordered the killing of a known terrorist. That's why you're here to talk about impeachment.
Yes.
After all these years of Soleimani's action action-- why now ?
For those reading all this, there is a lot to take in, isn't there? Sudden concern by some for the troops who btw have performed admirably, as they always do! Then there is the fact that Trump, the President who ordered the strike, should have consulted congress, asked for a congressional consensus and/or shown even more restraint. Others claim the President only acted as a "distraction" from those devastating articles of impeachment. What were they again? Let's see, "abuse of power" & "obstructing congress." I'm not sure if those are actual offenses or cliches. So the President is either a war monger or acting politically?
I'll let those reading this decide whether the President acted appropriately in American interests or not.
Crooked donnie just wiped his ass with OUR constitution, but that's okay because it's Crooked donnie and the RULES don't apply to the scumbag.
Could you explain that for those who may be new here?
Hmmmm - sorry, but don't see a "D" behind his name.
I think it would be better to explain the Constitution to trump because he's new to the presidency.

Actually....he's correct....until "Congress" legally finds otherwise.
"I FEEL", isn't a legal "Otherwise" thingy. "I FEEL", is an "Ideological VOTE GETTER" Only !
I see that you know as much about the Constitution as The Donald doesn't.
Comment 9.1.,3 spelled it out. Didn't you read that comment ?
" Article II, Section 1, grants the president “executive power” but also says Congress has oversight responsibilities, including over the office of the presidency"
Since you forgot:
Executive Power:
Sections 2 and 3 enumerate specific powers granted to the president, which include the authority to appoint judges, ambassadors, and other high-ranking government officials; Veto legislation; call Congress into special session; grant pardons; issue proclamations and orders; administer the law; and serve as commander in chief of the armed forces.
It doesn't say …. at "Congress's behest" !
Here are the highlights of comment #9.1.3
President Trump said he believes the U.S. Constitution gives him “the right to do whatever I want as president.”
Please tell me where that appears in the Constitution.
Did you forget.....congress can't just "Say they are going to do" in what you listed ?
Does congress not have to go through a voting and approval process for them to accomplish your list ?
" President Trump said he believes the U.S. Constitution gives him “the right to do whatever I want as president.”
"Please tell me where that appears in the Constitution."
Again .....………..
"Executive Power:
Sections 2 and 3 enumerate specific powers granted to the president, which include the authority to appoint judges, ambassadors, and other high-ranking government officials; Veto legislation; call Congress into special session; grant pardons; issue proclamations and orders; administer the law ; and serve as commander in chief of the armed forces."
No votes or approval process's required for the "President of these United States"..
The Constitution calls it “the vesting clause” - meaning all the complicated administrative actions associated with the day-to-day operations of the government.
Still meaning..…"No Congressional Approval" REQUIRED !
Okay, like Trump, you think he is an all powerful dicktator.
OMG!
That must be the "root of all evil".
Are you the stand-in explainer?
The "Constitution" doesn't note that word anywhere.
Thanks for noticing, please tell The Donald.
I give you one "Erection" for that comment.
Hold onto it longer.....it may Grow to a likeable size.
It was the summer when a president's penis was on everyone's mind, and life, in all its shameless impurity, once again confounded America.

Like usual, you know jack-shit.
cool. too bad the Constitution prohibits trumpski from taking out the scumbag that facilitated iran into producing weapons grade nuclear material by selling replacement parts for their old french nuclear reactor thru a shell company to avoid sanctions.
Who? The Clintons?
sorry. no cigar.
Bwahahahaha!
Actually there is no need to. Suleimani was killed in Bagdhad IRAQ. An active combat zone for the US (thanks to Democrats and Obama).
If he wasn't in Iraq then they would have something worth listening to. Since Suleimani was in Iraq (causing problems for US Forces) Iraq can STFU.
Reminder: DuhBya got us into Iraq and I guess we're still looking for the WMDs. Saddam must have done a hellva job stashing those nukes.
How quickly they deliberately forget when it is one of their own President's screw up.
Reminder: Obidiot pulled us out of Iraq then sent us back. And for what?
You will have to forgive them. The last 8 years ceased to exist for some once Trump took office.
Bush Jr was the moron that ended his father's and Clinton's containment of Iraq which was working. He is also the one that agreed to the SOFA ending US troop involvement in Iraq- which the Iraqi government desperately wanted.
Obama was the moron that first offered to keep 10,000 US troops in Iraq for as long as the Iraqi government wanted. When they rejected that option; Obama then reinserted US troops. are rearmed and retrained the Iraqi military, to save an Iraqi government loyal to Iran. Iran must have found it hilarious when the US air force was providing cover for their militias that entered the country.
Bush Jr's stupidity in no way excuses Obama's stupidity.
Obama sent a limited number of troops back in because of the rise of ISIS. They tried to work with the Iraqi army butt the Iraqi army ran away from ISIS so they started working with the Kurds which went well until The Donald abandoned the Kurds.
So what you are saying is this is Obama's clusterfuck and not Bush's.
That is your erroneous position.
I guess you don't remember what I actually said when you said the same shit earlier ( al Jizzerror @ 12.1 ).
It's not erroneous. Obama "ended" Bush's war remember. You all celebrated when Barry brought us all home. So now that Barry sent the US BACK into Iraq and expanded the area of operations to Syria, it became OBAMA'S WAR.
It's cute that you think it was about nuclear weapons. You are forgetting that it was the US that sold Saadam chemical weapons that he subsequently used in his war with Iran. You have to be pretty stupid to think that there weren't any.
Colin Powell used bogus intel about Iraq's mobile chemical weapons labs at the UN. We found an old stash of shit that probably couldn't have been used. Butt DuhBya claimed that Iraq had a nuke program. There was no evidence of that.
Do you still think GW was smart to invade Iraq?
Bush's biggest mistake was when he disbanded Saddam's army. They formed ISIS which is why Obama had to send troops back in. When they hooked up with the Kurds, they kicked some ISIS ass. Now that Trump has abandoned the Kurd's, ISIS is making a comeback.
That is a lot of spin.
Okay.
Please tell me what you think is inaccurate.
I already did.
I guess you didn't notice I said this:
After they formed ISIS they were able to recruit stupid foreign fighters (including some Americans) who hate us.
That's true butt the weapons, while still dangerous, weren't operational:
Should I toss that comprehensive article in the shredder?
Maybe you should write your own article since you're the expert.
Were you in Kirkuk in 2003?
We were lied to. The Bush administration was lied to-- but they believed the lies.
(Actually so did a lot of Democrats at the time)
Yes. Saddam did have banned WMDs at one point.
And in fact he actually used them. On civilian populations-- at least in 2 cases:
=He used poison gas on Kurdish civilians resulting in horrendous deaths.
-He sued them of Iranian civilians in that war. (One of 2 wars that Saddam started).
But at the time of our invasion he did not have any useable WMDs.
And he almost had nuclear weapons... except "somebody" destroyed his nuclear reactor while it was under construction. (The only people who are "willing to do the jobs that no one else in the Middle east is willing to do").
And then-- they did it again!
They destroyed the reactor that Syrian tyrant Bashar al Assad was building!
(Well, technically speaking, neither the Iraqis not the Syrians were actually building those reactors-- in the former case the French were building it, in the latter case it was the North Koreans.
Yep.
Israel took out the Iraqi and the Syrian nuclear sites.
It was justifiable self defense.
That's why the Iranian sites are underground.
According to my local news, Iran announced that they will have no more restrictions of their nuclear programs.
Yep.
The Donald is making us safer.
They also announced that they have targeted 300 U.S. military installations.
The personnel at those installations are safer now too.
Yet another of our Neo-Con Chickenhawk President's many accomplishments!
Yet another of our Neo-Con Chickenhawk President's many accomplishments!
The Iranians fired over a dozen missiles at two U.S. bases in Iraq.
I'm glad that Trump made the soldiers at those bases safer by killing Soleimani.
