Was it? support?
If so, then did belong to the people of Iran.
Why are American democrats standing on the side of a known terrorist who was warned repeatedly to not leave Iran? Instead, he was at a meeting, not in Iran, but in Iraq with the head of Hezbollah to discuss what? Throwing a party for the Ayatollah or planning a vacation? Not hardly! Qasem Soleimani has been on the radar of terrorism since the 80's, led the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and since 1998 was commander of its Quds Force which is responsible for clandestine, extraterritorial operations. This was not an innocent politician and he didn't get to where he was by being nice to Christians. Again, I ask, why are American democrats standing on the side of a known terrorist? Yes, we have been actively involved with Iran one way or another since the early 50's and we shouldn't have, but that doesn't make people like Soleimani turn from a boy scout to a terrorist. He was on his way long before that and thought he was protected by the fear of Americans concerns of escalation from being targeted. Iran was granted a limited response, took it, and this chapter is closed as far as Iran goes. That said, the democrat party needs to stop playing politics as usual and support the free world over terrorists.
Why are american Republicons standing on the side of known terrorists and knows state sponsors?
Why are US Republicons standing on the side of the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, known to have ordered the brutal killing and dismemberment of a Journalist and US legal resident? why are US Republicons standing on the side of Kim Jong Il, who send a us citizen he had tortured to death back to the US in a vegetative state to die...and US republicons are on the side of sending Kim "love Letters" why?
The US Republicon party needs to stop playing the politics of personal enrichment and power, and support the free world over terrorists.
Why not Putin then?You aren't making much sense. There were plenty of opposition to the administrations stand on Khashoggi on the GOP side.
I'm not sure anyone is standing on the side of Kim Jong-un (-Il was the father whom is dead), or how one is supposed to stand aside love letters. lol How do you do that anyway? I doubt anything will change on the NK issue anytime soon. I guess we can put them on ignore like we have for years prior, and hope we can stop the threat he can pose. I don't think there is any good answers on that country IMO.
Soleimani was a known terrorist, and he killed many Americans. Yes, and even more Iranians - and to many others as well. So, killing him after he has killed is supporting terrorism?
Why not Putin then?
Why don't we drone strike Him?
the argument against it?
If assassination of adversarial gov't leaders, preemptive or in response to years of killing of innocents, in the United States' morally superior, geo political defensive strategy moving forward, where is the valid argument against taking Putin out tomorrow?
Or Kim Jong Un... or any of the Sauds?
Or any world leader we choose?
I'm willing to jump on board and support the strategy if it can be demonstrated we apply it equally across the board... but when we explode one monster, and send love letters to another, based solely on the Political aspirations of whoever is the Commander in Chief at the time, I'm challenged to throw my support behind the policy.
He did? Where's your source for this? Thousands including his own?There was a reason they took the terrorist out. I mean he killed thousands of people - including some of his own and our people - and it's an overreaction to kill him before he continues to murder?
U.S. base in Iraq comes under attack from missiles, Iran claims credit
America got their desired result, now let's see what response America will have. How many times will we go back and forth escalating it?
The drones came for Ayman Zawahiri on 13 January 2006, hovering over a village in Pakistan called Damadola. Ten months later, they came again for the man who would become al-Qaida’s leader, this time in Bajaur.
Eight years later, Zawahiri is still alive. Seventy-six children and 29 adults, according to reports after the two strikes, are not.
However many Americans know who Zawahiri is, far fewer are familiar with Qari Hussain. Hussain was a deputy commander of the Pakistani Taliban, a militant group aligned with al-Qaida that trained the would-be Times Square bomber, Faisal Shahzad, before his unsuccessful 2010 attack. The drones first came for Hussain years before, on 29 January 2008. Then they came on 23 June 2009, 15 January 2010, 2 October 2010 and 7 October 2010.
Finally, on 15 October 2010, Hellfire missiles fired from a Predator or Reaper drone killed Hussain, the Pakistani Taliban later confirmed. For the death of a man whom practically no American can name, the US killed 128 people, 13 of them children, none of whom it meant to harm.

Staying on the topic of drone strikes and media reaction to it -- can be "really tough at times" apparently. Or were you posting at random on threads ?
I mean he killed thousands of people - including some of his own and our people - and it's an overreaction to kill him before he continues to murder?
I don't get it why you knock off one evil person off the list has to turn into taking out EVERYONE you listed.
Okay then. You wish to out the entire list you have in mind, or don't kill anyone evil at all.
???
The topic of this thread which I created is "Iran Strikes back at the USA" and is about the escalation of the conflict between USA and Iran.
I thought you were starting a game of "random stuff unrelated to this thread" when you posted about Obama who has nothing to do with this thread.
There was nothing to miss - there was no drone strike against a muslim terrorist. There was a drone strike against an Iranian military General. Do you know what the difference is between terrorists and military Generals of one of the largest armies in the world?'Strikes back' -- "for what"??
I thought there was as drone strike in there at some point against a muslim terrorist.
Did I miss it?
Absolutely. So you're saying that disassociation is the reason you interjected with random thoughts unrelated to this thread's topic? OK, if you say so.Disassociation can also be a problem.
Is the needless repetition here also from the disassociation?"strikes back"... "for what"?? -- drone strike against a muslim terrorist?
Absolutely. Obama drone strikes on Syria are not related to Trump's murdering of a military General from Iran.Does this really look like a "random thought" to you given the wording in your own thread title??
Wrong again. Not on a terrorist. I don't know his religion either, but it's irrelevant also.Your article linked in the OP references the President regarding the drone strike on a muslim terrorist
Again, not a terrorist. Again, Trump is not Obama. Again, this was against Iran, not against Syria. Again, that they're muslims is irrelevant; you apparently know little to nothing about Muslims.... and now you say that the topic has nothing to do with an American President ordering drone strikes against a muslim terrorist if that President is not Trump??? (As if Muslims don't care all that much about getting killed by a President that is not Trump?)
So you believe the article? So you understand now that Iranians don't chant "death to America" and "death to Israel"? I look forward to your answer. Hopefully it will be relevant and not random.I found this at your link
Iran protests: Crowds in Tehran refuse to walk on U.S. and Israeli flags
Interesting that they gauge the missile attack to not create casualties and they don't want to walk on the US flag that was put on the ground specifically for the purpose of showing it disrespect and walking on it.
America got their desired result, now let's see what response America will have. How many times will we go back and forth escalating it?
He did the wise thing and backed off. He knows he has no business retaliating. He let Iran fire at our bases with no consequence. Maybe he's learning something?Got your answer for you.
Straight from Trump -------------- zero.

Best part of Video:
TRUMP: "The United States just spent Two Trillion Dollars on Military Equipment. We are the biggest and by far the BEST in the World! If Iran attacks an American Base, or any American, we will be sending some of that brand new beautiful equipment their way...and without hesitation!"
[Iran attacks American Base]
ALSO TRUMP: "All is well! Missiles launched from Iran at two military bases located in Iraq. Assessment of casualties & damages taking place now. So far, so good! We have the most powerful and well equipped military anywhere in the world, by far! I will be making a statement tomorrow morning."
Why is anyone on the side of a known terrorist who was warned repeatedly to not leave Iran?
