  I’m not sure super intelligent apes will be able to discern why certain assassinations of avowed enemies (an Iranian warrior general) turn some Americans into remorseful flagellants while other terminations result in joyful and proud celebration. It is truly a puzzlement. Maybe it should be called the Albright Algorithm (thousands of innocent Iraqi children must die so a tyrant can be “softened” before he is groomed for termination. We’re a funny people-the only explanation I can think of.

  And how did regime change get such a bad rep? It frees oppressed people. Trump shouldnt stop with Iran. Hell, he should send a few drones after Putins ass. The poor in Russia will thank him for regime change. USA, USA.

  In what way was Soleimani “engaged in the field against American troops”? He was our ally against ISIS and we invited him to Iraq to discuss peace terms.

  With our track record of killing lots of civilians with drones, in comparison, as Trumpie would say, it was a perfect assassination.

  To recap: Country X kills Country Y bestest general.

  Country Y fires missiles at Country X soldiers in Country Z who told them to get the hell out.

  Country X says Country Y retaliation is an act of war.

  Hypocrisy just doesnt describe it.

  Iran, Saudi, whas de difference?

  Less than a third of registered American voters are able to correctly point to Iran on an unlabeled world map, a survey has shown. The figure came from a new poll carried out by Morning Consult and Politico between Jan. 4-5, after the assassination of Qassam Soleimani but before the Iranian military fired missiles at two bases in Iraq housing U.S. troops. Just 28 percent of registered voters were able to accurately label Iran on a zoomed-in map of the Middle East and Europe, but that figure dropped to 23 percent when voters were asked to identify the country on a larger, also unlabeled, global map. A graphic showing respondents’ guesses showed that some believed Iran to be in Africa, others said it’s in France, and some thought it was in the Irish Sea.

  Saudi is lucky it didnt get bombed by US. The difference is Saudis did kill innocent civilians…like US.

  This whole Iran fiasco was because Ivanka got Trumpie Amazon Prime and he watched the first season of Jack Ryan, thought it was real and that Suleiman was a real terrorist.

  War crimes are in the eye of the beholder: here is looking at US.

  U.S. Rep. Doug Collins said Democrats critical of President Donald Trump’s order to assassinate Iranian commander Qasem Soleimani were “in love with terrorists.”. The full quote from the Gainesville Republican: “They’re in love with terrorists. We see that. They mourn Soleimani more than they mourn our gold star families who have suffered under Soleimani.”

  The later part of Collins’ phrasing echoed a Tuesday appearance by former U.N. ambassador Nikki Haley on the same network: “The only ones that are mourning the loss of Soleimani are our Democrat leadership and our Democrat presidential candidates.”

  So anyone critical of Trumpies lies to assassinate Soleimani are terrorist supporters? Half the country wants the pathological liar removed from office. So Terrorists are US, just like half the world beholds US.

  Holy Toledo

  While the Pompous Pig at The Department of State and War does all he can to bring his fantasy of the End Times and the Rapture, whatever the hell that is, this nothing compared to Trumpie’s descent into madness.

  Trump on Thursday asserted that Iranian Gen. Qasem Soleimani was plotting to blow up a US embassy before he was killed by a US drone strike last week, later saying that the Iranian general was threatening multiple American embassies overseas.

  “We caught a total monster. We took them out. And that should have happened a long time ago. We did it because they were looking to blow up our embassy,” Trump claimed that Soleimani was planning attacks on multiple US embassies.
  “Soleimani was actively planning new attacks, and he was looking very seriously at our embassies, and not just the embassy in Baghdad,” Trump said at a rally in Toledo, Ohio, adding, “but we stopped him, and we stopped him quickly, and we stopped him cold.”

  A senior defense official backed up the statements later on Thursday, telling reporters the US had intelligence about multiple plots and threats involving Soleimani, including one that involved a plan to attack the embassy.

  Did Trumpie tell the embassies targeted? Did the Pompous Pig tell his employees that they may see their End Times?

  If not, and people died, whoa baby, Benghazi!

  Is it a job requirement to work for Trumpie, a pathological liar, to be a pathological liar?

  Pompeo State Department reminds us In light of events in the region, the Mission wishes to remind the American community to maintain heightened security awareness and follow sound security practices while in Saudi Arabia. The Mission is not aware of any specific, credible threats to U.S. interests or American citizens in the Kingdom. In the past, regional actors hostile to Saudi Arabia have conducted missile and drone attacks against both civilian and military targets inside the Kingdom. U.S. citizens living and working near military bases and critical civilian infrastructure, particularly in the Eastern Province and areas near the border with Yemen, are at heightened risk of missile and drone attack.

  All is well.

  This isnt going to end well…and we mean it.

  The Trump administration on Friday rebuffed demands from Iraq’s prime minister to begin planning for the withdrawal of U.S troops from Iraq.

  In a phone call Thursday, Iraq’s prime minister, Adel Abdul-Mahdi, told Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to send a U.S. delegation to Iraq to develop a mechanism for the withdrawal of U.S troops, according to a statement released Friday by the Iraqi leader.

  In response, the State Department’s chief spokeswoman said the U.S. presence in Iraq is a “force for good” and U.S. officials would not discuss a military withdrawal.

  “At this time, any delegation sent to Iraq would be dedicated to discussing how to best recommit to our strategic partnership—not to discuss troop withdrawal, but our right, appropriate force posture in the Middle East,” said Morgan Ortagus, the spokeswoman.

  Yeah, and what will the US do about it? Bomb Baghdad…again?

  Some guy who should know better actually suggested The Pompous Pig of the Department of State and War, who has been in the lead for regime change, should go to Iran to start diplomacy.

  Pompous Pig: Iran should start acting like a normal nation.

  Iran: You first.

  Blessed are the Peacemakers

  Coming to you on a dusty road
  Good loving, I got a truck load
  And when you get it, you got something
  Don’t worry, ’cause I’m coming

  The lies may change but the song remains the same.

  “The truth of the matter is that if you take every American killed including and since 9/11, in the resultant Middle East related wars, conflicts and terrorist acts, well over 90% of them have been killed by Sunni Muslims financed and supported out of Saudi Arabia and its gulf satellites, and less than 10% of those Americans have been killed by Shia Muslims tied to Iran.

  This is a horribly inconvenient fact for US administrations which, regardless of party, are beholden to Saudi Arabia and its money. It is, the USA affirms, the Sunnis who are the allies and the Shias who are the enemy. Yet every journalist or aid worker hostage who has been horribly beheaded or otherwise executed has been murdered by a Sunni, every jihadist terrorist attack in the USA itself, including 9/11, has been exclusively Sunni, the Benghazi attack was by Sunnis, ISIL are Sunni, Al Nusra are Sunni, the Taliban are Sunni and the vast majority of US troops killed in the region are killed by Sunnis.

  Precisely which are these hundreds of deaths for which the Shia forces of Soleimani were responsible? Is there a list? It is of course a simple lie. Its tenuous connection with truth relates to the Pentagon’s estimate – suspiciously upped repeatedly since Iran became the designated enemy – that back during the invasion of Iraq itself, 83% of US troop deaths were at the hands of Sunni resistance and 17% of of US troop deaths were at the hands of Shia resistance, that is 603 troops. All the latter are now lain at the door of Soleimani,

  Those were US troops killed in combat during an invasion. The Iraqi Shia militias – whether Iran backed or not – had every legal right to fight the US invasion. “

  To recap: Trumpie and his gang of pathological liars say Iran is planning to bomb four US embassies. if true, which it is not, this is an act of war. Bombing of Iran military should begin TODAY.

  While the Department Of State and War is actually advocating the end of diplomacy, what will we name the Defense Department, since it seems less warlike than The Pompous Pig Department of State and War?

  We would call it the Department of Indefensible Lies, but the CIA has already claimed that.
