Attack on the American embassy in Iraq

[KellyinAvon]

That's eerie. Like crystal ball type stuff or more likely a leaky Whitehouse staffer

My money is on the latter.

Either way I think he has some 'splaining to do.

Yeah, we were sitting in the ops room coming up with contingency plans all through that intentionally failed "rescue" attempt shaking our heads at what was being planned and trying to figure out how to un-**** it. We spent almost a month on alert and burned a lot of caffeine before we came to the realization that it was never intended to work. Jimmuah never wanted those folks to come home alive IMHO, the soldiers too. (Take the sand filters out...great idea...if you want to kill those people going into the desert, it just failed earlier than planned.)

We studied this (AKA Operation Eagle Claw) when I was at the NCO Academy in 1995. Pretty much a case study of how not to do a military operation.

Five years later (very small world) I find out a USAF fuels troop on the mission was now a Loggie Officer and my son's baseball coach. He said everything was micro-managed out of the White House and doomed to failure pick-up game.

Security cam video of big boom.

That video wasn't working for me. Found a YouTube of it...

I read or seen somewhere that they could only identify Soleimani from his big gaudy gold ring.

Glad we could provide some context...I graduated from the NCO Academy a couple of decades earlier...

Now that's precision. You could've been 100 yards away, watched the whole thing, and lived to tell about it.

They were meant to get in...they were never meant to come home.

The Deep State leaking again trying to damage the Presidents policies. Our government is full of pompous know it alls like Lt. Col. Vindham that will do what they want over the administration policies they are supposed to serve. That coupled with the incessant reportage of anonymous leaks from them is truly damaging to the country.

Michigan Rep. Elissa Slotkin’s reaction to Soleimani’s death is just unreal...

“As a former Shia militia analyst who served multiple tours in Iraq and worked at the White House under both Presidents Bush and Obama, and later at the Pentagon, I participated in countless conversations on how to respond to Qassem Soleimani’s violent campaigns across the region.

“If you worked on the Middle East over the past 20 years, you dealt with the growing organization and sophistication of Soleimani’s covert and overt military activities, which have contributed to significant destabilization across the region.

“I watched friends and colleagues get hurt or killed by Iranian rockets, mortars and explosive devices that were provided to Iraqi proxies and used against U.S. forces under Soleimani’s guidance.

“We watched as his power increased and he brought strength and capability to groups in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and Yemen, and to smaller cells around the Middle East and the world, with devastating consequences.

“What always kept both Democratic and Republican presidents from targeting Soleimani himself was the simple question: Was the strike worth the likely retaliation, and the potential to pull us into protracted conflict?

Appeasement never works, the bully always wants more...

You Gateway Pundit naysayers, where are you seeing this reporting in your favored sites?

Our President, Donald Trump, is without a doubt a great President. He is either playing 3-D chess or the democrats are at a kindergarten level.

I would put big, big money on the latter.

Hillary Clinton didn't know how to use a desktop computer, she's always going to lose to the fellow geriatric who learned twitter.

3d chess is pushing it. I've always thought of Trump as more of a Shoots and Ladders kinda guy. But he does appear to have a least a little better than a broken clock's propensity for being right.

Some sort of malfunctioning clock that stops and starts in fits, then spins past a couple of hours real fast and suddenly changes direction. Happens to be right 5 times a day.

What has Trump been spectacularly wrong on? Not a policy difference, something he got wrong and the country is paying dearly?

For some reason I'm intrigued to hear the responses to this question...

But, but, but... feelings... butthurt feelings.
