USA takes out a terrorist

[The emperor has no clothes]

What I gleaned from Ron’s post is this. He feels most Democrats don’t understand what it takes for our country to be free. He is dead wrong. If he cared to actually look, he would see that there were and are many who serve and love our country that are not just from his particular political persuasion.

And where would one look to see that particular tidbit?

Perhaps he should have clarified to say most elected Democrats.

The Democrat party seems to be pursuing the global government / open borders agenda.  I don't think that can qualify as loving our country.  I sincerely believe that most, or at least many, Democrat voters are unaware of whom they are electing.

Perhaps he should have, but he didn’t. He would still be wrong if so. I sincerely believe that most, or at least many, Republican voters don’t care who they are voting for, as long they retain power.

Both parties want power. Dems want a Socialist run government.  Look in Virginia with the gun rights. I could care less if it is Dems or Republican as long as they listen to the American people. Both parties need redoing, but right now the Republicans are the lesser evil. Dems think it ok to kill babies, but cry over a person that has killed many Americans. It seems now what was once right is wrong now and the wrong is right. If we don't wake soon we will all be in a bind.

Thinking back to WWII, my feelings are simply that if the current Congress was in power in Dec., 1941 we would probably be speaking either German or Japanese. Click on the link below, Norman Mattoon Thomas hit the nail on the head. Sooo much of the weeping and wailing and wringing of hands from the Left is so full of hypocrisy it's almost laughable if it weren't disgusting. I recall not too long ago they were all bent out of shape because Trump had a conversation with Putin, complaining because he didn't share the content of that meeting with them. Like Kennedy of Lousiana said recently of Pelosi...."it must suck to be that ignorant." Do they not realize the POTUS has a right to meet with ANY foreign leader privately and doesn't need a hall-pass to do so....or need to share the content. All the "leaders" (using the term loosely) of the House impeachment process are screaming about McConnell's approach from the Senate side, insisting on a "fair" trial. Seriously? Those dipshits need to go back and read the notes from the House process....where was the so-called fairness in that procedure? Looks like "tit for tat" to me. I had to chuckle while listening to the Senate leader's speech when he flatly told Pelosi what she wants to do has no bearing on the Senate process because she has no position from which to make those demands. I'll bet Pelosi's pucker muscle snap shut so hard you could hear it all over D.C. 

Frankly, I find it quite sad. The democratic party of today is not the party of JFK, but then neither is the republican side. However, I do find overall they seem more aligned with the general public than the democrats. I'm hoping the next election is won so convincingly by Trump that maybe they'll wake up cuz they're sure not listening to the populace today. In doing so, we just might have a real choice to make. Now the parties are as far apart as the east is from the west.

As for continuing this post, my feelings are it needs to be locked in hopes it will die a quick death. After reading through most of the posts, we wouldn't be losing anything and need to move on to something more beneficial. It's the same people saying the same thing as in the past, myself included, and it's going nowhere at lightspeed.

I'll accept the bolded portion as correct.  
I fully recognize there are faults with both political parties.   My previous post reflects what I see.   I vote my conservative values and don't give a rat's butt about which party is where.  

Reference sanctimonious poop, when the kettle calls the pot black, it really stings (not).  

What I find interesting is, no where else in this thread has that poster suggested anything else reference the "hit" on the Iranian Terrorist who is purportedly responsible for 600 + American lives lost.   Perhaps that poster has a position on that?

It is said that the price of freedom is eternal vigilance, and that in itself often comes with a heavy price.   Regardless of how Iran reacts, my position remains the same.   The price of attacking us should be much higher than the attacker is willing to pay.

To my knowledge, a leopard's spots never change so, you may be correct.   But one can always hope the opposing side will realize buying friendships with foreign aid doesn't make the receiver our friend and buying votes with other people's money is nothing more than a grab for power.   So yes, as one previous poster stated, it does appear to be all about getting more power (and money).

Actually I do Know it is really Not THAT simple. But knida hard to fight with no money and no material. pelousy et al all appear to be toeing the lets hate Trump line. peloust aoc and others really not sumpin to see before coffee.  RIDE SAFE.

 Meat: After reading this below please explain how this is the will of the people and how the dems are listening.

    The Governor, Ralph Northam has requested $4 million and 18 law-enforcement positions to enforce his gun ban – a request that could be the preparatory steps for confiscating the guns which would be banned by SB 16.

    Moreover, the Governor is requesting another $3.5 million to enforce gun control that has NOT been passed by the legislature and is NOT even current law in Virginia: universal background checks, one gun a month limitations, so-called “red flag” gun confiscation orders, and more.


 Since measures passed in January of 2019, over 100 independent counties and cities have voted in their own sanctuary protections.  Democrats in Richmond may very well be successful in banning guns in Virginia, but the movement between election day and now gives the lie to the notion that they can do so while claiming the will of the people.

Well, seeing that some of our "Left Side of the Aisle" members are on the forum at this time, I'll ask nicely again,

What is the "Leftist" position on taking this Terrorist out?

Not whether or not you approve of President Trump but, the action taken?

As stated in another thread, I'm not sure what all to make of the killing of the Iranian General. Killing people who kill us is generally a good thing. Was it the wisest strategy in overcoming our enemies ? I don't know. I hope more clarity on the strategy is shown. (I have no idea if this is the "Leftist" position)

[Robert]

Uncertainty and faith two of the biggest commodities in making decisions and one is the least obtainable in most cases. Maybe that is the lefts biggest problem the fear of not knowing and not being able to see the follow through of the decisions made. Control, like gun control is born out of lack of faith, fear and need to control.  Also the idea that each person making the decision is responsible for all outcomes or results. If you do not believe how can you have faith in your fellow man?

[Oss]

Maybe I just see it more simplistically

Yes I agree with Meathead when he says " Killing people who kill us is generally a good thing"

The scumbag we offed had decades of distinction as one who was behind perhaps a majority of the million dead in regional wars

He was proud of his deeds and no regret or pause in sending killers out to kill innocents in comparison to those who have been thru war and thus want to do all in their power to avoid sending young men to die, He let it be known he was a killer of americans and we knew it and knew he was coming.

Are we safer now that he is dust?  I prefer to say he can not do his murder and the world is better place without the general in it. What comes next will come anyway but without this turd.

Radical islam (those who believe that Islam must conquer the world) has declared war on us. Let us not forget

 Were you on the fence when Obama killed Bin Laden? You know the guy who killed 3000+ Americans. I would hope not. So why are you on the fence now. This wicked POS killed hundreds of Americans and was behind a recent death of an American citizen and the siege on our embassy. Trump had a opening to take him out and he took it. What do you think would have happened if Obama had not taken out Bin Laden when he had the chance? Ilan Omar is saying Trump assassinated a world leader. Really? No he killed a terrorist. One who was labeled as such by the Obama administration . So if Obama had taken him out would we be having this conversation.?

I guess you missed the news that he was behind the Attack on the US embassy which is US soil. 
So you believe nothing should have been done in response like obama and hillary did?   what difference does it make if Americans are attacked and killed.

John, mentioning WWII, put me in mind of the Yamamoto raid.

Operation Vengeance was the American military operation to kill Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto of the Imperial Japanese Navy on April 18, 1943, during the Solomon Islands campaign in the Pacific Theater of World War II. Yamamoto, commander of the Combined Fleet of the Imperial Japanese Navy, and the planner of the Pearl Harbor attack, was killed on Bougainville Island when his transport bomber aircraft was shot down by United States Army Air Forces fighter aircraft.  Eighteen P-38s were assigned the mission.  

I don't recall ever reading about anyone complaining about it.  Especially in the newspapers, and in Congress.  It would probably have been downright unhealthy to have complained about it anyway.

Sure, it was a larger war.  But, as of June 29, 2016, according to the U.S. Department of Defense casualty website, there were 4,424 total deaths (including both killed in action and non-hostile) and 31,952 wounded in action (WIA) as a result of the Iraq War.  Those numbers are not insignificant.

Taking out enemy combatants, especially leaders is legitimate warfare.  Especially when using sophisticated weapons limiting collateral damage, as opposed to carpet bombing a small town.

As I said earlier, I think it's better not to publicize operations like this, as it gives away our intelligence gathering abilities (or methods), it is a bad guy recruiting tool, and it can stir up sh!t (as this one did).  I read that this mission was going to be made public (by the media) in any event, so why not take a victory lap about a job well done?

It's not like we aren't well aware that nothing our president does or says or thinks will not be immediately attacked by the DISLOYAL OPPOSITION in this country (and elsewhere) regardless of how much those actions, words or thoughts are in the best interest of our country.  

Indeed it's getting to the point that the louder the disloyal opposition screams (wails, moans, cries, pouts, and tantrums), the better job our President is doing.

Another flag officer who was specifically targeted was Field Marshall Erwin Rommel (aka The Desert Fox), sort of Germany's George S Patton. I don't believe FM Rommel was killed as a result, but he was seriously wounded and out of action for a while.

I think the general population doesn't realize just how rare the truly great military leaders who make a big difference really are . It's not just their ability to plan and execute operations, but the extent they inspire those under their command to the best of their abilities.

Interesting point Jess

According to some accounts, President Franklin D. Roosevelt may have authorized Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox to "get Yamamoto," but no official record of such an order exists.

Knox essentially let Admiral Chester W. Nimitz make the decision.  Which is in keeping with the American system of letting those in the field make decisions unlike the Russian, Japanese and German systems of the top making all decisions.

 Nimitz first consulted Admiral William F. Halsey, Jr., Commander, South Pacific, and then authorized the mission on April 17th which was flown by beautiful aircraft P38's, the only ones capable of such long flight with the disposable fuel tanks.

The very thought that the legislative body should be micro managing or consulting is opposite to my
understanding of the Constitution separation of powers.  Whether Democrat Republican, Whig, Torry, Labor or Bull Moose party was in the executive it doesn't matter,  Example, I would not expect Obama or Clinton to, while at war, whether declared by Congress or not, to advise before striking a target believed to be behind an embassy attack especially when he is outside of his own country and in a war zone

   I am of the firm opinion that NO announcement should ever have been made by us that he was put down along with his aide de camp

Classified or top secret means just that.  We dont need to know it yet.

I dont know why POTUS chose to release the info, but I do not have the information that he has at his disposal.

My hope is that he did so to give hope to the Iranian people who have suffered under
the scum who we blew out of this world as Obama gave us hope when Osama was put down.  I will not ever forget his allowing us to know Seal Team 6 did it, we did not need to know that and it put families at risk

The genius Scott Adams saw this coming, and even gave it a name, the "Parody Inversion Point":

[Robert]

Disgraced former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick attacked the United States on Saturday for conducting what he described as racist “American terrorist attacks” driven by imperialism, which appears to be his response to U.S. military forces killing Qasem Soleimani, the head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Quds Force, which is a designated terrorist organization.

“There is nothing new about American terrorist attacks against Black and Brown people for the expansion of American imperialism,” Kaepernick tweeted, adding, “America has always sanctioned and besieged Black and Brown bodies both at home and abroad. America militarism is the weapon wielded by American imperialism, to enforce its policing and plundering of the non white world.”

By Monica Showalter, Ameican Thinker, January 5, 2020:

As creeps like Rep. Ilhan Omar denounce the rubout of Iranian terrorist kingpin Qassem Soleimani as the killing of a “foreign official,” the press calls him “a farm boy” or “icon,” and stupid Hollywood celebrities send their condolences to “the Iranian people,” (who are celebrating, actually) the ugly hard reality remains that Qassem Soleimani, leader of the terrorist Quds force, was a monster, a stone-cold killer of innocents, the driving force behind Iran as a state sponsor of terror. His funeral song should be “That Smell.” He stunk of death all around him and liked the stench. According to the Washington Post:

    “The warfront is mankind’s lost paradise,” Soleimani said in a 2009 interview. “One type of paradise that is portrayed for mankind is streams, beautiful nymphs and greeneries. But there is another kind of paradise. … The warfront was the lost paradise of the human beings, indeed.”

But this isn’t stopping the left from lionizing the beast. Here’s a list, in no particular order, of the worst of what he did:

[Oss]

The General was not black nor brown  

He was the worst form of racist, one who kills for glory of religion whilst lining his pockets

There are different sects of Moslems, they hate each other and blow each other up all the time when their followers are not attacking churches and synagogues  or attacking unarmed people everywhere

We are at war.  The former QB is entitled to his opinion but shame on the social media for disseminating it

Likewise we all have a duty to write down the name of every hollywood
or other who is praising the man who now has to face 40 Virginians in sheol
