Qassem Soleimani was an arch terrorist with American blood on his hands.  His demise should be applauded by all who seek peace and justice.  Proud of President Trump for doing the strong and right thing.

Something interesting that probably has Iran and others very disturbed. That air space was very likely heavily monitored with Iran's and perhaps Russia's best technology. And yet a stealth drone got through it all undetected and took out Iran's top military leader. They have to be feeling just a wee bit less secure now. That just perhaps they aren't as smart as they think they are.

Anyone who is against America taking care of America is someone who cheers for what happened in Benghazi.

Our amazing Military and President Trump are taking care of business to ensure there is NEVER another Benghazi in America's future!

Might be the Iranians who want change will rise up. This time we should help them.

I agree, but don't seem to have the will to do it...... we will see.
Glad we took a position but concerned we won't finish it....

Yes... keep in mind we have imported millions of Iranian allies into every nation on earth and they can create a lot of havoc.

The consequences of killing Soleimani are hard to grasp; this is the biggest news in the #MiddleEast for years.

For starters, the US will have to leave #Syria soon & the #Iraq presence is likely on its way out too.

Plus Hezb-#Israel; the Gulf, US Embassies & assets region-wide.

BREAKING - #Iraq TV confirms the death of #IRGC Quds Force chief Qassem Soleimani & #PMU Deputy Abu Mahdi al-Mohandes in an air strike tonight in #Baghdad.

Huge news. A massive escalation.

I don't know if I agree with all of this above really.

The end of Qasem Soleimani is welcome and long-overdue justice for the thousands of Americans killed or wounded by his Iranian-controlled forces across the Middle East, and for the hundreds of thousands of Syrians and Iraqi Sunnis ethnically cleansed by his militias.

I peaked at a few other Republican Senators' accounts and did not find much readily except for these two above.

I'm sure Graham has commented...

This is insane.

Reports now of US Marines “arresting” Qais al-Khazali & Hadi al-Ameri in #Baghdad.

#Trump wanted a “royal flush?” Jesus.

Yes, mentioned in I believe the other thread was that of these others being arrested. Big news too.

I think the Iranians are probably sh*tting their pants right about now. They've just run into an American leader who pays as much attention to the norms as they do

This is pretty much the biggest event in world politics since the Iranians took our embassy, in terms of breaking the norms. Trump has just directly attacked one of the leadership cadre for the Iranians, which is unprecedented. This wasn't the accidental by-product of an air strike; this was a directed assassination of key personnel.

Question I have is what the f**k were these guys doing together near BIAP? Were they perhaps going to some meeting with the US, and got whacked?

Qais Khazali is known as the founder and leader of the Special Groups in Iraq - Hadi al-Amiri is an Iraqi Member of Parliament and former Minister of Transpiration for Iraq.

Not exactly cutting the head off the snake but damned close!
