Iraqi prime minister confirms Suleimani in Iraqi soil for peace talks

Thank you for your service to the country Secretary Pompeo.

It has been reported that Pompeo has notified Mitch that he will not be running for the Senate in Kansas, which probably means that Sec. Pompeo will be serving in Trump's second term. Thank you again. Mr. Pompeo. You should not have to mop up in areas where Obama let things deteriorate.

Or Veep.

Woke up this morning, could have swore it was the 60’s...... liberals everywhere shouting antiwar crap.

Not to dismiss what yer saying, but this is nothing like Nam, man. Different era. The sentiment is the same though!

Please remind us why Liberals were wrong about Vietnam????

the BS reason given by the pentagon for this guy's assassination is now moot, as the expected retaliation (original plan) makes further escalation justifiable in the public eye.

White House officials told the Journal that advisers disagreed whether the order was wise, but they decided to go along with the plan after they said intelligence forecast Iranian-backed attacks on U.S. military personnel in the Middle East.

They ultimately went along with Trump’s plan once intelligence showed Suleimani would be traveling near Baghdad International Airport, where they felt he could be targeted without harming Iraqi civilians in an area where the U.S. already controls the airspace.

Republicans — including Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR), who long has advocated military action against Iran — have largely backed the president’s decision.

“The important point that’s been established is that Iran is once again scared of the United States,” Cotton said.

shocking, I know!
