Better question, why was he allowed to kill at random by the last two Presidents? Maybe we should declare the middle east sanctuary countries.

Not serving in the military is one of my few regrets in this life. My Dad retired from the Air Force after twenty five years.

Since Jim Webb is your perception of a flower child, I would be interested in hearing about your military service.

He was on foreign soil organizing and leading attacks against a 3rd country.
That is not acceptable and I said so in my first post.
Suleimani was not a diplomat. Feel free not to buy the admins claim on other embassy attacks, but don't buy the BS from Iraq on Suleimani. The primary embassy attack was enough to justify the reciprocity, and Suleimani is as much a global terror leader as any we've dealt with in the past.HuMcK said:Osodecentx said:He should.Canada2017 said:Osodecentx said:When did it become acceptable for a top leader of a country to organize and lead attacks and assassinations in foreign countries?Midnight Rider said:

Was he? The Caretaker PM of Iraq says Suleimani was in Bagdhad to deliver a response to diplomatic overture from SA. Trump's accusation that Suleimani was planning an imminent attack on multiple US embassies has not really stood up to scrutiny, Pompeo specifically refuses to say that intel exists when questioned then spins the conversation to a different direction, and Mark Esper was even on the sunday shows today saying he saw no such intelligence, Mike Lee also says he saw no such evidence. Far as I can tell, Trump seems to have made up the "Suleimani was targeting 4 embassies" line on the spot when he was challenged about justifications on camera, and no one has been able to back up that accusation yet.

What attack are you referring to? Are you talking about the event where unarmed Iraqi protestors (don't believe it was a militia, correct me if wrong) breached the embassy and left voluntarily, with no injuries or deaths caused? Is that what you call "reciprocity" where we kill an Iranian general after an angry Iraqi mob rushes our embassy? That reciprocity line may work for Trump's credulous base, but the rest of the world recognizes an escalation when they see one, which the Suleimani killing definitely was.
