Iran General Soleimani assassinated in Baghdad

[Napoleon Dynamite]

Iran purchased some weapons and Trump just delivered one directly to their #2 guy. Now how many more did they order, and who wants to take the delivery?

that is freaking funny.

Any word if John Kerry was meeting with this bad dude at the moment of impact?

Hopefully Jane Fondue Pot was with him.

From the German newspaper “Bild”

The editor-in-chief declared that, "His violent and overdue end will not stop global terrorism, but the image of his burnt-out car still sends out a powerful message. US President Donald Trump has made it clear that the worst figures in the world, however big-mouthed and ruthless they may be, cannot hide from America’s strength."

Is this true? Are we really pulling out of Iraq?

Reuters. My understanding is that Iraq has a puppet government and that the Kurd’s may be in for a rough go.

It appears not.

[Kung Wu]

Well at least that restores a little sanity. Got a feeling a certain general will be retiring soon.

I thought the letter was good news. Not sure why we are still in Iraq unless it is to provide an easier target for terrorists so they don't try to attack us on U.S. soil?

I am sure there is value in intelligence gathering and Forward Operating Bases, but that area of the world seems like it has always been at war and always will be at war. I am not for spending any of our money nation-building (promoting democracy) or rebuilding infrastructure in Iraq. We should have a military presence for the purpose of conducting military operations only.

I’m not strong that we should stay or should go, but apparently if we leave Iraq, Iran and Russia take control of the puppet gov, then the Kurds get eradicated.

[ShockerPrez]

Even if a decision was made to leave, now would not be a good look. We need to continue to stare Iran down before we can think about leaving Iraq.

Iraq is a mess and I would prefer we not be there or Afganistan, which is probably even more of a futile endeavor.

But I don't know what the correct answer long term is.
