I think this means Democrats have been playing Donald Trump is an awful human being and a terrible President political games again.

How so?  Because they approved taking out someone in AlQaeda?

Be careful, some folks reading this thread dont like WINNING.  And you mentioned it quite a few times in this post.  Trump will win MN this election.  Book it.  Winning!

Anything’s possible but he’s got some work to do there. As of last month he’s 10 points underwater (approval rating).

I hope most would have been skeptical of that claim to begin with. Over 60+ Iranian Americans were also waiting? Geez, how many come across the border at once?

Approval ratings are pretty meaningless when the candidates he will face in November are so weak  

Jan. 6: President Trump is now -150 to win re-election, the shortest his odds have ever been (including during the 2016 election)

I'll admit I was/am a little worried about the move of taking this guy out.  Although I will say, us getting asked to leave Iraq is a good development in my eyes.  We just can't seem to quit that place.  The U.S. is like the degenerate gambler at the casino who just knows this next time is going to be different.  Maybe the Iraqis will save us from ourselves.  We didn't learn from the Soviets in Afghanistan.  If the Russians or Chinese want to try their hand here, let them.  I don't think they'll find it any more hospitable than we have and we just don't have the money to keep it up.  If a further drawdown or outright exit from Iraq is a result, regardless of how it comes about, it's a win.

Exactly , how long have we been looking for a reason to get out of there? Careful what you ask for.

You realize  the democrats didn’t complain like this about Al-Baghdadi, right?

On the edit...i think references to shades of color and Trump may be auto edited these days

I think the President, in his tweet showed some statesmanship tonight. We’ll see what he says in the morning but if he continues to have restraint I think he deserves praise.

Assassination just has a poor ring to it.  While the act may fit the dictionary definition, I don't remember much of the media calling the killing of American Anwar Awlaki an assassination. 

The sole criteria or distinction of an assassination is if the person killed is a government official. For instance in WW2, we had plots to kill Hitler. The fact he was the most murderous SOB on the planet at the time and one of the worst ever didn’t change the fact it was an assassination plot. - Oswald assassinated Kennedy but that was so because JFK was President, not because he was a great man. Jack Ruby murdering Oswald was not an assassination otoh. Sorry to interrupt, just wanted to help clarify.

So at this point President 45/46, Supreme Leader Trump, killed a notorious terrorist who was responsible for an attack on our sovereign territory, killed over 600 Americans and by some estimates millions of others in the region.  He did this and did it without one loss of American life?  This man, this future Mount Rushmore recipient plays chess while members of the democratic party and Iranian leaders play checkers.  Many in this country dont deserve such a leader.

He's also told the world that it's ok to assassinate top government officials of other countries and that targeting cultural landmarks is A-ok if you're angry at them for something. 

It's wonderful to live in a fantasyland where one can pretend that every action's consequences can be determined in 72 hours.  Are you going to call some other country's leader 'supreme' or suggest they should be put on a statue if they decide to kill our vice president or first lady in an effort to get cheers out of their citizens?

I was only half right, WAR CRIMES was only one of the talking points.  ASSASSINATE! is the other (I missed this one).  First and foremost he was a terrorist and the leader of a designated terrorist organization.   Because of this he was an open target.  You see back in 2001 Congress gave the President authorization to open season on terrorists.  He was forbidden to leave Iran.  He made one mistake, that mistake was to underestimate President Trump's balls, and it cost him his life.  

Its sad Junior that you seem focused on the fact that this terrorist also served in the Iranian regime.  That says all I need to know about Iran.  Yet you, you almost sound sad that he's dead.  Perhaps you should come to this thread and bask in its winning.  It is very uplifting you'd see.

There's no one, me included, who grieves one bit for an evil dead man like Soleimani. It was no great accomplishment to kill him. Bush and Obama could have done it anytime they wanted. There are dozens and dozens of evil men on the planet. You can't just kill them all without first weighing the benefits and detriments. I know that Trump has had a rough road and you want to take any 'victory' you can. But let's see if American lives are lost or if there is any impact cyber-wise or in how the US is viewed internationally before peacocking too strongly. It could very-well end up very embarrassing for you.

Do you write comedy?  If not you should.  Rough road??  Best economy in forever, 2 Supremes, low gas prices, criminal justice reform, etc etc etc.  Yeah, real rough road.  AND he did all this while withstanding the lies that are RUSSIA AND UKRAINE!!!  Lesser men would have broke under all this, not our beloved President.  What a great great man.

Propaganda. Some american soldiers did. The choice that Bush and Obama had to make was the cost worth it. And those two weren't looking to distract from an impeachment, so they didn't have to factor that in.  Bottom line is, Bush and Obama never found out if it was worth taking him out.  history will tell us whether Trump's decision is a good one or a bad one. But I can promise you we don't know the answer 5 days later.

Good point sho, and youre right, the other two presidents were weak weak men.  Iran would have been emboldened.  Instead they are pee'ing themselves because they dont want what Trump will serve them up.  Thats why the missiles missed.

Stop dancing and just be a man and admit you’re ok with those American deaths at the hands of Solemani because it gives you a reason to fill your sick lust for criticizing everything Trump does. 
 

You’re either happy he’s been removed and no more Americans will die because of him or you’re willing to sacrifice those lives and more because you don’t want to give Trump a win on this. 

[JuniorNB 7,258]

You just knew that some of the Trump clan would think that they can pound their chest and do a victory lap if no american lives were lost in the first few days.  As if the this is a two hour movie of the week and there's only two minutes left.  Damn, killing Soleimani would have been an easy choice for Bush or Obama if they knew that they were only going to be responsible for repercussion on the first four days.  😁

How about this, check in a year from now and if no American lives are lost as a result of the assassination, I'll admit that it was a good move. It's been a few days. Like I said, I know victories have been hard to come by, but relax a little

Of course not. But if ten americans were killed in last night's attacks, we can certainly agree that it was a result of the assassination.  Although you've done a nice job at giving everyone a sneak peak at what the talking point will be going forward.  Any American killed from here on out would have been killed anyway and has nothing to do with us assassinating Soleimani.  Good to know.

I mean, is this real life?

Trump felt the risk was justified.  The outcome justified the actions.  And now you're saying that other Presidents coulda done this too if they knew blah blah blah.  Maybe Trump's handling of the situation is why it went down the way it went down.  

But instead "Oh, he got lucky and Iran didn't really do anything."

You totally misunderstood. I'm saying that there is still 14:30 left in the first quarter. WAY too soon to determine if it was a good move or not.
