Iranian dictator Ayatollah Ali Khamenei tweeted Wednesday that the U.S. was powerless to respond to Iran’s attacks against American contractors, soldiers, and diplomats: “You can’t do anything,” he taunted President Donald Trump.
That guy has tweeted that we see Iran responsible for the events in Baghdad & we will respond to Iran.
1st: You can’t do anything.
2nd: If you were logical —which you’re not— you’d see that your crimes in Iraq, Afghanistan… have made nations hate you. twitter.com/realDonaldTrum…

By Thursday — Friday morning local time — U.S. forces had taken out Iranian General Qassem Soleimani in Iraq, thought to be behind recent attacks in Iraq, and responsible for hundreds of earlier American deaths in that country.
Trump had tweeted Wednesday, after an Iranian-backed militia stormed the U.S. embassy in Baghdad, Iraq, that Iran “will be held fully responsible for lives lost, or damage incurred, at any of our facilities. They will pay a very BIG PRICE!”
He added: “This is not a Warning, it is a Threat. Happy New Year!”
He added: “This is not a Warning, it is a Threat. Happy New Year!”
But Khamenei dismissed the threat, as did Iranian military leaders. Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) leader Major General Hossein Salami, who said that “we are not worried.”
That may have contributed to security lapses Thursday, when a U.S. airstrike, at President Trump’s command, took out Soleimani and a local militia leader traveling with him.
Trump’s comment, via Twitter: a simple American flag.
Hang on to your asses, boys and girls. Shit just got real.
Personally, I hate the thought of going to war with Iran. But this shit's been brewing ever since they stormed our embassy in Tehran in 1979 and held 52 American citizens hostage for 444 days.
At the time the inept and incompetent American president Jimmy Carter stood by and allowed our country to be humiliated on the world stage by doing nothing.
The only reason the Hostage Crisis came to an end was because America rejected the pathetic Georgia peanut farmer and elected Ronald Reagan who they feared.
In the decades that followed and especially with the help of our last so-called president and fellow Muslim Barack Hussein Obama, Iran has only grown stronger and it's reach has spread far and wide.
They became bolder.
Evidently they've been under the impression they could push us around, attack American troops and or contractors at will, and even taking another shot at over running another US Embassy without consequences.
They miscalculated.
President Trump isn't seeking war with Iran.
But if it's war they want he'll sure as hell give them one.

ReplyDeleteI have been reading a number of military fighter planes are on their was to the Middle East. Some have said they are releasing the Kraken. I don't know much about about the Kraken but it apparently a fear of god sort of weapon. France is playing games and stated they did not want us landing at their bases. That,is okay. We don't need them anyway. I just hope France doesn't come asking for our help anytime soon.

ReplyDeleteHollywood actress Rose McGowan apologized on behalf of America for the U.S. military airstrike near Baghdad’s airport that killed Tehran’s top general Qassem Soleimani. "The United States is morally corrupt and acts illegally."
Sorry bitch but you don't speak on behalf of this country...
Trump did good, don't fuck with the USA.. Got it good.
ReplyDeleteThanks for moving my comments, Kevin.
ReplyDeleteI hope the last thing "Rocket Man" sees is a drone hovering overhead. If he moves against us I would expect this to happen. Maybe he will too and behave.

The two clueless leftists you've already mentioned are just the tip of the iceberg.
ReplyDeleteDemocrat leaders are already lining up to attack Trump for not asking them for permission before taking this bastard out.
Screw that.
It won't be long till they start defending Iran just to make Trump look bad...
Let's airdrop Rose McGowan into the middle of Tehran without the covering head to toe so she can see what "morally corrupt" really looks like. She would fare well, begging them to "please do not kill" me. Should work out well.
ReplyDeleteTime for another Alien and Sedition Act like John Adams had. Let's weed these commie rat bastards out and throw them in prison.
Interesting perspective from blogger John Ringo:
ReplyDelete'People keep missing something important about the airstrikes that ‘killed 25 militants’.
The militants were collateral damage. The target was multiple ‘hidden’ missile magazines for rather expensive Iranian SCUDs threatening Israel.
The strike cost the Iranians a shit ton of hard currency. It also pointed out we know where they hide stuff and can take out the “threat” at leisure.
And trying to storm the (fortress) embassy in Iraq was the best they could do.
Yeah, my lefty friends on Facebook seem to think this is Trump wagging the dog because his back is to the wall over impeachment, and that it will provoke Iran to suddenly not like us. In fact this is Trump demonstrating that impeachment is irrelevant, and that Iran, which has always hated us, is weak now."
Well SSAH I see we are on the same page again. Trump has got the left so confused they don't know if they are coming or going.
DeleteI'm proud to have Donald Trump in the White House. He has proven time and time again that he is there for the American people.... unlike Obama who favored Islamic Terrorists over the American people.
ReplyDeleteAll the noise from the DUMBOcrats and the Hollywood Liberal Actors....is just that.... noise. They're just pissed that they're not getting the credit for it.
To hell with the do nothing DUMBOcrats and their bitching!
Amen...
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't be surprised if the do nothing DUMBOcrats tack this onto their farce of an impeachment proceedings.... I wouldn't put it past them.

ReplyDeleteU.S. sending 3,000 more troops to Mideast as reinforcements
By Zeke Miller, Robert Burns and Lolita C. Baldor - Associated Press - Updated: 1:19 p.m. on Friday, January 3, 2020
WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States is sending nearly 3,000 more Army troops to the Mideast as reinforcements in the volatile aftermath of the killing of an Iranian general in a strike ordered by President Trump, defense officials said Friday.
The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss a decision not yet announced by the Pentagon, said the troops are from the 82nd Airborne Division at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. They are in addition to about 700 soldiers from the 82nd Airborne who deployed to Kuwait earlier this week after the storming of the U.S. Embassy compound in Baghdad by Iran-backed militiamen and their supporters.
The dispatching of extra troops reflects concern about potential Iranian retaliatory action for the killing Thursday of Gen. Qassem Soleimani, commander of Iran’s Quds force. But it also runs counter to Trump’s repeated push to extract the United States from Mideast conflicts. Prior to this week’s troop deployments, the administration had sent 14,000 additional troops to the Mideast since May, when it first publicly claimed Iran was planning attacks on U.S. interests.

ReplyDeleteTrump to terrorists: 'We will find you, we will eliminate you'
By Dave Boyer and Tom Howell Jr. - The Washington Times - Updated: 4:04 p.m. on Friday, January 3, 2020
President Trump said Friday he ordered the attack that killed Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani “to stop a war,” but warned Iran that the U.S. has other targets lined up and he won’t hesitate to launch more strikes to defend Americans.
“We took action last night to stop a war,” Mr. Trump said in brief televised remarks at his Florida resort. “We did not take action to start a war. We do not seek regime change.”
Referring to Soleimani as “the Number One terrorist anywhere in the world,” the president said the leader of Iran’s infamous Quds force had organized recent attacks in Iraq injuring U.S. service members and a siege of the U.S. embassy in Baghdad.
He said Soleimani “was plotting imminent and sinister attacks on American diplomats and military personnel.”
“But we caught him in the act, and terminated him,” Mr. Trump said. “Under my leadership, America’s policy is unambiguous to terrorists who harm or intend to harm any American: We will find you, we will eliminate you, we will always protect our diplomats, service-members, all Americans, and our allies.”
The president said Iran’s aggression in the Middle East “must end, and it must end now.”
“The United States has the best military, by far, anywhere in the world,” Mr. Trump said. “We have the best intelligence of the world. If Americans anywhere are threatened, we have all of those targets already fully identified, and I am ready and prepared to take whatever action is necessary. And that, in particular, refers to Iran.”
Congressional Democrats are complaining that Mr. Trump has risked war in the Middle East without consulting lawmakers.
Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer of New York criticized the president for failing to notify the “Gang of Eight,” the top congressional leaders of both parties, in advance of the attack.
“The need for advance consultation and transparency with Congress was put in the Constitution for a reason,” Mr. Schumer said.
Mr. Trump said Soleimani should have been taken out long ago.
“A lot of lives would have been saved,” Mr. Trump said.
The president stressed the cultural history and heritage of Iran, saying he has no interest in a protracted conflict with their nation.
Mr. Trump highlighted previous efforts to eliminate the territorial caliphate operated by the Islamic State and kill its leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
“The world is a safer place without these monsters,” Mr. Trump said.

Trump endorses tweet comparing top Senate Democrat to Iranians

President Trump on Friday endorsed a tweet comparing the top Senate Democrat to Iran, the United States’ longtime adversary, suggesting neither could be trusted, as Democratic leaders criticized the White House for ordering a military strike to kill a powerful Iranian commander without congressional input.
Amid a flurry of reactions from U.S. lawmakers, Trump retweeted conservative commentator Dinesh D’Souza, who, in response to a headline about Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) not receiving advance notice of the military operation, wrote: “Neither were the Iranians, and for pretty much the same reason.”
Trump made similar insinuations about Democrats’ trustworthiness after the October raid that killed Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. At that time, Trump said he didn’t tell House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), a former member of the Intelligence Committee, because “he wanted to make sure this kept secret.”
Trump ordered the U.S. drone strike that killed Quds Force commander Qasem Soleimani, whom the United States regarded as a war criminal responsible for hundreds of American deaths.
Republicans and Democrats were united in calling Soleimani an enemy of the United States and a terrorist.
‘This morning, Iran’s master terrorist is dead,” said Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) in remarks on the Senate floor. “The architect and chief engineer for the world’s most active state sponsor of terrorism has been removed from the battlefield at the hand of the United States military.”
Schumer called Soleimani a “notorious terrorist,” and added: “No one should shed a tear over his death.”
But as Republicans celebrated what they described as Trump’s decisive action, Democrats criticized the president’s order to act unilaterally while expressing grave concern that this action would move the United States closer to an intractable war with Iran.
“No matter how good it may feel that Qasem Soleimani is no longer alive, he likely will end up being more dangerous to the United States, our troops and our allies, as a martyr than as a living, breathing military adversary,” said Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.).
Trump, in brief remarks Friday afternoon about the attack, said he targeted Soleimani to “stop a war,” not to start one.
Presidents typically inform the so-called Gang of Eight — the House speaker and minority leader, the Senate majority and minority leaders, and the chairmen and ranking minority-party members of the House and Senate Intelligence Committees — about high-level military operations.
Part 2 of ??
ReplyDeleteTop Democratic leaders in Congress received no advance notification of the strike, aides said. Pelosi spoke to Defense Secretary Mark T. Esper after the attack for about 13 minutes, said an aide who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the person was not authorized to speak publicly.
“I’m a member of the Gang of Eight, which is typically briefed in advance of operations of this level of significance. We were not,” Schumer said in remarks on the Senate floor, adding that the administration must be “asked probing questions not from your inner and often insulated circle, but from others, particularly Congress, which forces an administration before it acts to answer very serious questions.”
It was unclear which congressional leaders were given advance notice of the strike.
McConnell said only that he had spoken to the defense secretary and was arranging a classified briefing for all senators early next week, but he provided no details on when he first learned about the strike.
Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.), a Trump ally, said Friday morning on Fox News that he was “briefed about the potential operation when I was down in Florida” and appreciated “being brought into the orbit.”
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) posted a photo on Instagram of himself and Trump at the president’s Mar-a-Lago estate late Thursday, though it was not clear whether he, too, was briefed ahead of time.
McCarthy praised the killing of Soleimani as a “statement to those seeking to attack America.” Trump, McCarthy said, had responded appropriately to violence by Iranian-backed groups in Iraq, including an attempt to storm the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad.
“In a display of resolve and strength, we struck the leader of those attacking our sovereign U.S. territories,” he said.

Most Democrats focused their ire on Trump’s unilateral action that they said could propel America into another conflict in the Middle East, yet Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) directed a more personal blow at Trump.
“The Occupant was JUST impeached for abuse of power for political gain & now he is leading us to the brink of war because he believes it will help his re-election. We are sick of endless wars. Congress has the sole authority to declare war and we must deescalate. #NoWarWithIran,” Pressley tweeted.
Many of Trump’s possible Democratic opponents in the presidential election also offered stern rebukes of Trump’s handling of foreign policy.
Calling the strike against Soleimani an assassination, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) tweeted that the United States was “on the brink of yet another war in the Middle East.” She added: “We’re here because a reckless president, his allies, and his administration have spent years pushing us here.”
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) called it a “dangerous escalation,” and former vice president Joe Biden said in a statement that Trump “just tossed a stick of dynamite into a tinderbox.”
In New Hampshire, Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg, who was an intelligence officer in Afghanistan, echoed many congressional Democrats who have wondered what the strategy is now. “If we have learned nothing else from the Middle East, in the last 20 years, it’s that taking out a bad guy is not a good idea unless you’re ready for what comes next,” Buttigieg said.
In Iowa, Sanders condemned Trump’s action and emphasized his long record of opposing many U.S. military interventions abroad, including the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
“It gives me no pleasure to tell you at this moment we face a similar crossroads fraught with danger,” he said, adding that Trump’s decision “now puts us on the path to another war, potentially one that could be even worse than before.”
Katie Mettler, Robert Costa, Mike DeBonis, John Wagner, Seung Min Kim, Sean Sullivan and Chelsea Janes contributed to this report.
President Trump will still be re-elected to office and the United States of America will be much stronger for it, the un-patriotic DUMBOcrats will still be bitching regardless.
