Four Embassies

..what's more unbelievable:
..a Middle Easterner would attack four targets
..Mr Trump orders Soleimani to be killed for no reason/his intel lies to him/his intel is wrong?

OBVIOUSLY Mr Trump's intel is GOOD/GREAT --OR they wouldn't have been able to take him out!!!!!!!
Boom.

Clearly our intel was well better than average.

Now I guess Iran supporters will say Salami was sightseeing, or on a pilgrimage to raise awareness for global warming or some such shit.

Democrats lose again.
 
Democrats lose again.

So, we're back to debating the letters D and R again? What's next? The colors blue and red? lol. Alright. You all may proceed without me. Gosh damn some of you people are about as deep as a mud puddle.
 
You didn't answer the question.
I don't care if it was 1 or 40 he was planning to attack if that 1 had Americans in it.

Trump said 4 embassies were under threat. Certainly 4 or more were under threat.

Do you deny that this terrorist mastermind was a threat to 4 embassies? Really? You want to act that stupid?

Look...

I get that you're doing your best here fo bleat the party line. It's got to be a humiliating task.

Why not step back and acknowledge the obvious? Salami's death is a good thing for Anerica.

As long as Ds side with terrorists against America and Rs side with America, I'm with Rs.

You can sit this one out if you're neutral.

That's not at question here. At question is the legality of taking him out when and where he did and the REAL reason for it.

The president has said that four embassies were under imminent threat. That he ordered the strike to prevent four actual attacks.

That claim has not been corroborated by any member of Congress who's been in the briefings.

If you learned that the president lied to you about the reason he ordered the strike, would you be at all concerned?
 
Does anyone here believe that Soleimani and the Quds forces were actively planning to attack four US embassies when he was taken out?

No, because if it were a real threat, Trump would have had the democrat leadership visit those bases

Trump reportedly told associates he killed Qassem Soleimani because he was under pressure from GOP senators before his impeachment trial

President Donald Trump told associates that he assassinated Iran's top military leader last week in part to appease Republican senators who will play a crucial role in his Senate impeachment trial, The Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday.

One of Trump's most outspoken supporters, GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham, appears to be the only congressional lawmaker Trump briefed about his plan to assassinate Soleimani in the days leading up to the strike.

Graham has criticized the president's foreign-policy choices in the past — most notably Trump's withdrawal of troops from northern Syria and his handling of Saudi Arabia.

NC, this is obscene.

This is why we bind them down by the chains of the Constitution. But alas....gone are the days. Can't even get a letter of Marque and Reprisal issued these days. Heh heh.

National security doesn't always allow full transparency.

And nobody in that briefing said Salami was not a threat who was plotting to murder Americans.

So, if Salami was killed just to make the Iranian regime back off of killing Americans for some other reason I'd be ok with it.

The question for you:

Is there any reason that Trump could give for saving American lives that would be good enough for you?

It's amazing to see TDS make Democrats automatically support anyone Trump calls an enemy, even terrorists.
 
If it was true, they would have said so immediately.

This evolving excuse thing is a tRump *administration* hallmark.
Tards always have an excuse try to explain away reality.

Haters gonna hate.

If he'd said it quicker, your lie would be that his speed of saying it is why you don't believe it.

America and Trump won.

Democrats and Terrorist lost.

Lick your wounds and move on.
It must be nice in that fantasy world of yours.

Reportedly

Trump reportedly saved American lives for purposes Democrats don't like.

No.

‘Why did the United States kill Iranian general Qasem Soleimani? President Trump, in remarks to the nation the morning after the attack, gave a clear rationale. Soleimani “was planning new attacks on American targets, but we stopped him.”

That information has not been made public. But the glimpses behind the curtain have not inspired confidence that Trump’s story is on the level.

The most damning assessment is indirect. When the administration shared its intelligence with select members of Congress, many of them came away unimpressed, if not outright disgusted. Rep. Gerry Connolly described the presentation as “sophomoric and utterly unconvincing.” Even Republican Senator Mike Lee, heretofore an unquestioning Trump supporter, called it the worst briefing, at least on a military issue, he’s seen in the “nine years [he’s] been here.” This is the equivalent of a person who owns 14 house cats reporting that they walked out of the theater halfway through Cats.

Exactly what the administration said, or failed to say, remains classified. But the administration’s public explanations have hardly added clarity. Trump’s initial remarks did not mention any new threat to a U.S. embassy. The next day, he said, “We did it because they were looking to blow up our embassy,” presumably in Baghdad. Last night, at a rally in Toledo, he expanded the threat to “embassies,” multiple. In a new interview with Fox News, he has specified the threat as being to four embassies. Oddly, these details seem not to have been included in the briefing to Congress, which raises the question of why information is too classified for members of the U.S. government, but low-level enough to share with the Fox News audience.

A senior administration official and a senior defense official tell the Post they were “only aware of vague intelligence about a plot against the embassy in Baghdad and that the information did not suggest a fully formed plot.” Both sources denied any awareness of “threats against multiple embassies.”

Other ancillary details have made the case look more questionable still. Trump reportedly told associates he acted in part to placate Republican Senators whose support he needed to shape the Senate impeachment trial. The Washington Post reports today that, on the same day as the Soleimani strike, another American mission attempted, but failed, to take out a different Iranian commander in Yemen, where Iran is involved in a civil war. This seems like a strange coincidence if the second target was also linked to an imminent threat to the U.S. “This suggests a mission with a longer planning horizon and a larger objective, and it really does call into question why there was an attempt to explain this publicly on the basis of an imminent threat,” Iran scholar Suzanne Maloney told the Post.’

Trump’s Rationale for Killing Soleimani Is Falling Apart
