I don't believe for a hot second that the terrorist we just took out was plotting attacks on our embassies that Trump found out about and as a result he ordered the strike.
Trump likely made up that bullshit. If intel is released that proves me wrong I will happily retract.
HOWEVER
Obama put that ********** on the terrorist list of scumbags to kill or capture. Trump made good on that part of the list.
You CAN NOT with a straight face condemn Trump for killing him when Obama GAVE THE GREEN LIGHT by putting him on the god damn list to begin with.
Did Trump lie? In my opinion, yes. Why? Because he knew leftist hacks would jump all over him. And don't call me a Trumptard because I said the same damn thing about Clinton lying about Lewinsky. I get why Clinton lied. I don't condone it but I get it.
Point being, both sides need to stop. Trump may have lied or exaggerated but he made good on an Obama declaration.
Good riddance to a scumbag
That's like saying Osama Bin Laden wasn't plotting a terrorist attack either. So I guess Obama was a terrorist, and we should have impeached him.
Soleimani as best I understand, has been involved in every bad thing that has happened in that region for a decade now. He has no problem gassing civilians, or slaughtering the innocent.
The problem wasn't that Soleimani was not a valid target, but rather that policy blunders up to this point, made going after him difficult.
For example, how can we go after Soleimani for his involvement in Syria, when we gave Assad a red-line, and then did nothing when he crossed it? How can we give our tacit approval, and then complain about Soleimani's involvement?
We can't also go after Soleimani for his involvement with terrorist groups like Hezbollah, when we tacitly approve of Hezbollah by saying Israel shouldn't deal with them.
When he attacked Americans directly, he gave us the clear undeniable right to target him.
But the argument that he posed no imminent threat is ridiculous.
This is like going to a dunkin donuts, and asking "do you have any imminent plan to make people fat?"
Planning attacks on people, is what this guy did for a living. And it's not like they had never targeted US operations before, because they just did.
So by any possible measure, this was justified, and Trump secured a major victory for the US, by making Iran back down.
