"Iran Puts $80M Bounty on Trump’s Head for Soleimani Hit".
I keep remembering the first couple of years that followed Saddam Hussein's capture, when anti-American forces regrouped in Iraq, and when Iranians were providing fairly sophisticated IEDs that killed and maimed hundreds of American troops, and George Bush, who gave the impression of being in paralytic mode, did nothing concrete to counter the specific Iranian threat (and, of course, Obama followed up with his inscrutable belief in Iran's trustworthiness and negotiated a half-assed nuclear deal which included the sweetener of hundreds of millions of dollars in cash shipped to these savages on pallets on a cargo plane). So I am delighted that President Trump has smacked the mullahs' regime, and smacked it hard. Iran may retaliate, but the country has, in fact, been "retaliating" for 40 years. The only thing different now is that the U.S. is governed by a President who isn't interested in playing the kind of complicated games involved in the pursuit of a bogus realpolitik.
Oh, and Nancy Pelosi, help me understand your math: Soleimani's life > 600 American soldiers' lives? Show your work, please.

What I find amazing was that he was so brazen that he waltzed right into the one place on the planet where we could take him out with anyone's permission: the Green Zone in Baghdad.
ReplyDelete*withOUT* anyone's permission... the bastard was fair game -- and probably knew it, but didn't care.
ReplyDeleteThe Green Zone is truly green...the carbon footprint was reduced by the reduction of Soleimani.
ReplyDeleteDarn. My other half, Richard McEnroe pointed out that greenhouse gases from the missle strike, drone exhaust, secondary fires, etc must be factored in. Oh, and that wasn't a carbon footprint, it was his foot.
DeleteSo glad Valerie Jarrett isn't in the WH any more.
ReplyDeleteYes these Iranian leaders are overconfident, like spoiled brats having gotten their way too long, in need of a thrashing. More tears please.
I don't consider Soleimani's death a murder, it was a full term abortion.
ReplyDeleteLeftists love abortions, so why would they be upset?
I doubt very many people in Iran are mourning the cretin, except his bosses, the mad mullahs, and the Schutzstaffel-aping Quds Force he commanded.

ReplyDeleteHas-been, joke-stealing comic George Lopez laughingly boasted on social media that he'd pay half that. Meanwhile, CNN is in a tizzy over much more obvious satire from the Babylon Bee:

I suppose there are a few idiots out there who think the DNC ordered flags flown half-mast over Suleimani, but then again I suppose there are a few idiots who think George Lopez will pay them $40 million for killing Trump

Khameini unwisely taunted Trump by saying "You can't do anything about it". Trump responded with "Here, hold my Diet Coke".
ReplyDeleteI like Smitty's take on things too. In future years, Democrats are going to hide their faces when they contemplate their legacy from the Trump era.
