What say you good folks? And you not-so-good folks can respond as well.

Not just acceptable, mandatory.

Don't start a war and murder thousands when what is needed is to take out one bad actor.
But that's not how it is.

Just for argument's sake lets imagine Iran were assassinate one of our top commanders. Does every single man under his command just go home? Shit no, they get a new commander with a deep wish to get some payback. It is generally disastrous to do things to harden the resolve of the enemy.

And yet Iran and the Hezbollah-democrats are in disarray after the loss of Obama's dear, dear friend Soleimani.

Remember, Soleimani killed MORE Americans than Osama Bin Laden.
 
Was taking out Bin Laden state sponsored assassination?

Nope. OBL was an international criminal. Any other stupid questions?

:rofl:

Fucking hypocrite.

Obama's dear, dear friend Soleimani was also an international criminal complicite in the deaths of over 4,000 Americans.

Only on our say so. So, again, I ask - is it ok for another nation to assassinate US officials merely on their declaration that said official is a criminal?

Listen, I have no doubt Soleimani was supporting terrorists. The question isn't whether he was a good guy. The question is whether assassinating him was a good idea or not. Have you given any consideration to the precedent that it sets? "What's good for the goose is good for the gander." If we claim the right to enter other countries and dispose of people we consider criminals, that entitles other nations to do likewise. Would you be ok with that?

Wrong, Soleimani was proud of his attacks on Americans. Soleimani killed more Americans than Osama did. To support taking out Osama while condemning taking out a man far worse is utter hypocrisy based on who gave the order.

Period.

He was a bad guy, no question, but it was a tactical error to kill him assuming we really want to avoid another endless Mid-East conflict. A lot of Americans WILL die if we needlessly go to war, what about them? Was killing this guy worth it if it starts a war?

Nonsense. It was a political win for Trump, hence it angers you.

Words like "tactical", "vision", and "wise" dont register with Drumpf supporters.

If by "political win" you mean the diversionary tactic Drumpf pulled on you idiot Drumpf supporters worked. He's trying to put the impeachment rhetoric on the back page of the news and you clowns fell for it. :laugh:

I never said I supported taking out Osama - I said it wasn't assassination.

Starting the Iraq war was a political win until it became clear it was all a bunch of bullshit. Then it became an albatross around the necks of everyone who voted for it.
 
International law.

Frankly, the only international laws I'm concerned with are the ones that place the United States and its citizens/defenders at a disadvantage against an enemy.

Those I would dispense with out-of-hand.
 
Nope. OBL was an international criminal. Any other stupid questions?


Some people think that the regressive leftists in league with Islamists do so out of stupidity. Some think regressive leftists in league with Islamists do so out of hatred for their own culture.

Now, for me, I think it takes a certain combination of both traits in order to make a sniveling coward embrace the Mullahs.

So, you got nuthin?

apparently, as much as you do

Soleimani planned the Benghazi attack along with many others. He was a much greater threat to Americans than a sick dying OBL hiding out in a compound.
Why do you believe government media propaganda? You never believe it when it criticizes Donnie. To believe the general planned Benghazi, is to believe anything the government tells you.
 
If O pulled this clearly wag the dog move, in the middle of impeachment, Rs would be outraged. Somehow they justify Trump Doug it by believing lies about the general, feed to them by the every same media they despise. CRAZY.
 
"Rep. Ilhan Omar says Dems are outraged by Trump's assassination of 'a foreign official'"

Well, Ilhan, guess 'someone did something.'
