Positively predictable. Soon as it happened, I says "watch how many people will jump when just yesterday they had no idea who he was. He'll be Hitler by this week's end". There's step one.

How about another? Next comes the test of faith. There will be no discussion, no debate. Next, those who are against this will be branded as weak, cowards, or unpatriotic. No substance, no purpose, just bulls@#$.

It'll start with 48hrs from right now.

Is there anyone here who actually thinks that Iran, if they could, wouldn't be blowing up whatever they could in the US BEFORE this assassination? That this event has not turned a peace loving nation all of a sudden into the largest terror sponsor in the world?

You actually believe that there is this being said at the Iran High Command...... "We weren't planning any attacks, just our usual peaceful diplomatic tactics..... but NOW we should attack....!"

I don't believe there was an imminent attack before the General was assassinated. The evidence is weak.
Now the General is killed, I do believe there will be an imminent attack.

Yes the lefties here think that. They think Iran loved the USA until we elected Trump.

They think if not for Trump we would have peace in our time.

Unfortunately libbies all over the country believe that. These people are detached from reality and live in their own little world. It's sad man. Libbies will be the downfall of our great country. 😔

Way to bridge that divide, boys. Keep up the good work.

I have little to no faith in Trump’s foreign policy decisions.

No. But more than Trump’s overall.

I do like the part where trump leaves the country. But unfortunately he comes back.

Admitting shortfalls is fun, here, I'm going to try it:

1.) I don't trust most of what major news outlets say.

2.) I don't really pay much attention to foreign affairs.

3.) Because #2, I don't know much about this event except the fact that it happened.

4.) Because #1-3, I'm not qualified to offer an opinion on Trump's decision-making in this foreign-affairs matter, much less in general.

5.) Because #'s 1&2, I'm not qualified to offer an opinion on Obama's decision-making as relates foreign-affairs, in general.

I may not like Trump, (though I certainly don't hate him) but I have absolutely no standing whatsoever to question his decision on this. I imagine that if I gathered as much information as I possibly could, I still wouldn't, 'know,' enough to make a judgment. The reason for that is because there would still be information, I assume, that would not be publicly available.
