The drone killed an Iraqi militia leader. Iraq voted for all foreign troops to leave Iraq! Tweety did not apologize or say a word about this aspect of the war crime. No "We made a mistake." or any contrition for this murder. It is the US way now, to kill with impunity and say, "Deal with it!"
"Iraqi parliament calls for expulsion of foreign troops"
Vote comes after PM Abdul Mahdi recommended Parliament take urgent measures to expel foreign troops from Iraq.
by Arwa Ibrahim 5 Jan 2020
""The government commits to revoke its request for assistance from the international coalition fighting Islamic State due to the end of military operations in Iraq and the achievement of victory," the resolution read.
"The Iraqi government must work to end the presence of any foreign troops on Iraqi soil and prohibit them from using its land, airspace or water for any reason.""
Iran is stronger in Iraq today than yesterday!
Americans always support a President in war. That is why Tweety Trump is prodding Iran into retaliation for the assassination of the leader of the Iran Republic Guard.
Once Iran responds, once they start killing innocent people, and maybe one or two US soldiers, Congress will not stop the war, and Americans will support the President, no matter the dishonesty of the endeavor.
Knowledge is power, find the facts and know the truth. Is our Nation safer under Tweety or not? Is Tweety going too far to disrupt the world order? Will the chaos and battles in the Middle East lead to WWIII as predicted by many?

"Skepticism mounts over evidence of 'imminent' threat that Trump says justified Soleimani killing"
By Zachary Cohen, CNN January 5, 2020
https://www.cnn.com/2020/01/04/politics/trump-iran-soleimani-strike-concerns/index.html
Americans have many, many questions:
Who (USA, of course) attacked Iraq, pre-emptively, under pretense in 2003?
How did US soldiers become targets, as we inhabited Iraq?
What if Iran killed Pence?
Why didn’t we just tell Iran General we know his plan?
Did we save 5 diplomats and risk hundreds of Americans, soldiers as well as civilians?
Do we risk more such Presidential attacks without notice to Congress?
Will Americans be led to believe Trump can do anything he wants, for real? Is Congress too weak to stop the war?
Will the Middle East blow up now? Will many MORE American soldiers die now?
Will more Iraqis die because of the US killing of the Iran general?
Will thousands of newly inspired "terrorists" kill Americans for another 100 years?
WAR! WAR! WAR! ASSASSINATION! WAR CRIME! ROGUE STATE!
The only "logic" Tweety used to decide to kill the General, leader of Iran's elite Republican Guard, was what he could get out of it for Trump.
If we killed a leader in every country for every American killed in or around that country (the Iranian General was killed in Iraq), rather than seek reparations thru State Department negotiations to ease family pain, and assuage America's huge, arrogant ego, America would have to kill a leader in Mexico for the recent killing of a family of women and children, burned alive by the way, kill a leader in North Korea for the virtual killing a college boy for taking a poster, after months of torture and starvation, AND WE'D RUN OUT OF DRONES!
Trump's decision and continuing threats to kill many more Iranians feed the hate Osama Bin Laden spoke of after he succeeded with his 9/11 attack. The people we call "terrorists" when they attack us have many, many reasons spanning nearly 100 years for attacking Western nations, and the United States.
The United States, because of its stature in the world in 2020, a stature that could be used for peace and healing rather than war and killing to stoke the fires of hate, creating thousands more "terrorists," is not innocent of crimes against the peoples, WAR CRIMES, and interference in original Middle Eastern cultural values of the Middle East.
Of course Europe is revulsed at Trump's drone attack. Europeans currently reflect a stronger awareness of the history of the Middle East.
Israel, a virtual new comer to the land of Palestine, given the word "Israel" appears on territorial maps only after 1916. In 1916 "Israel" was not a state, but it was a place for Jews to go live in safety, ironically protected by Arabs. Of course Israel supports the drone attack. Israelis have demonstrated their foolish and irreligious hate for Arabs, and in 2020 extremists seek an apartheid for Palestinians, a one-state "solution" for "peace," ironically in the land of Palestine. Israeli extremists have been this way, hating and killing Arabs for almost 100 years.
Now we can see American Generals are dumb enough to advise Tweety Trump in the standard "Decision Briefing" format, that killing an Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani, leader of the elite Iran Republican Guard, is one of several options/alternatives perhaps to manage Iran's "terrorist" ambitions, or to manage the Middle East. I guarantee all Americans this drone strike was far down the list, and absolutely NOT a "Best" option/alternative.
But the Decision Briefing process required the Generals explain ALL the options. Tweety went for the worst option!
It is VERY, VERY regrettable the Generals were briefing a f**king fool who is currently the Commander in Chief of the United States military, a shyster, a con man who wants only what he thinks is good for himself, good for his bank account, and will get him as much attention as anyone could want.
Tweety Trump does not care about any American he causes to have killed!
In the military, a standard decision briefing goes like this:
1. the problem, in this case what to do about terrorism, possibly,
2. then states alternative solutions, ALL possible ways to deal with terrorism, possibly one would be to fully staff the State Department to prevent wars and reduce Arab hate for Americans,
3. sets forth detailed evaluation criteria, like we cannot kill our way out of an idea or philosophy, we cannot kill every single terrorist, and
4. establishes a scoring scheme and weighting for the criteria that essentially sets for costs of, and benefits of executing each option/alternative.
The conclusion of each Decision briefing is an implementation plan which details how the decision can be executed. This includes resources needed, all the support needed to effectively and efficiently execute the decision.
In my opinion, while drone ASSINATION, and be sure this was not a normal kill of a "terrorist," the ASSINATION may likely listed below several other options / alternatives.
All options / alternatives are briefed that can accomplish the end goal because we do not want to eliminate choices in the decision -making process before scoring them. A drone strike to kill Iran's #2 leader, essentially ASSASINATE Iran's Vice President, a General that is the leader the Islamic Republic of Iran Army, the entire Iranian military establishment, in the open, in another country, was NOT in the top three choices, and definitely did not score well due to immense unintended consequences.
THE GENERALS SHOULD HAVE KNOWN TWEETY TRUMP COULD PICK THE WORST OPTION!
I am not surprised, but now Mike Pence defends the drone strike with lies about 9/11 involvement by Iran and Suleimani.
All governments lie about war, PERIOD.
"Mike Pence pushes 9/11 conspiracy theories to justify Suleimani killing"
In a series of tweets, US vice-president falsely claims Iran general assisted in travel of terrorists behind September 11 attacks
"In a series of tweets, the US vice-president called Suleimani “an evil man who was responsible for killing thousands of Americans”. Among other things, Pence insisted that the general “assisted in the clandestine travel to Afghanistan of 10 of the 12 terrorists who carried out the September 11 terrorist attacks in the United States”, misstating the number of 9/11 hijackers – there were 19 – and insinuating Suleimani’s involvement despite a lack of evidence.
Foreign policy experts were quick to point out on social media that Pence’s assertions were unsubstantiated."
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/jan/03/mike-pence-iran-911-suleimani
Even pretend "Christian" Mike Pence should know better than to push conspiracy BS! He is embarrassing! He is Tweety Trump with white hair I guess.
If there is any REAL truth and proof of Suleimani’s killing ANY American, let us see it! There is absolutely no proof he helped with 9/11. Hell, I can say Pence or Trump or Bush or Giuliani or anyone with a name helped get 9/11 going because we cannot disprove conspiracies.
'NBA coach faces backlash after accusing Mike Pence of lying about Soleimani's involvement in 9/11"
By Sam Dorman | Fox News
https://www.foxnews.com/sports/steve-kerr-mike-pence-iran-soleimani
Why is Coach in trouble if it is true? Pence IS lying! Coach says the truth!
"Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr criticized Vice President Mike Pence on Friday, accusing him of lying about Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani's involvement with the attacks on Sept. 11.
"One thing I've learned in my lifetime is to not believe our government when it comes to matters of war," he tweeted. "Johnson and Nixon lied about Viet Nam [sic]. Bush and Cheney lied about WMD's in Iraq. Now Pence is lying about Iran/Soleimani's supposed involvement in 9/11.""
I wonder what Fox News has to say about Kerr? Fox wrote about Rose McGowan's tweets that were the same tenor.
Tweety Trump Bull Shits Americans announcing the drone strike was to make peace. No negotiations, no verifiable advance warning, no proof of the intent by Iran to kill Americans, no proof Iran attacked Saudi Arabia, no proof this General was involved in killing anyone was provide. Perhaps Pompeo and the Secretary of Defense, Esper, told Tweety the General killed "lots."
To say the drone strike was to avoid a war, and to maintain peace is an absurd comment. What kind of "PEACE" is Tweety talking about? Killing to make peace is pure 1984 crap!
War is peace, and peace is war - 1984!
The drone strike was self-serving, aiding Tweety Trump to get re-elected in 2020; which depends on the economy continuing to be at least OK, good preferred, and if HIS Bolton/Miller advised Iran war to MAKE PEACE (lol!) doesn't end in a huge WAR (most likely) with immense loss of lives on all sides!
Trump said this was an attack on a terrorist. This General was NOT a terrorist. He openly hated Western nationals, and openly led the Iranian Army.
Trump says terrorist should fear for their lives? This attack INSPIRED Osama Ben Laden, a terrorist, so why is any terrorist going to "fear for their lives" now?
Trump lies thru his teeth when he says he did this to prove to terrorists that the US will fight when we must! Hell, the US fights everyone all the time, and we do not wait until we "must" fight and kill people. Killing is an American pastime, and bombs are our biggest export.
Everyone, even kids in 10th grade or lower grades, KNOW members of ISIS and other terrorists who wear bomb belts look forward to martyrdom!
NOTE how convenient it is for the US to decide who is, and who is not a terrorist, put their name on a list, then kill them, or anyone else they want to kill!
"Trump: 'We took action last night to stop a war'"
From Twitter to Mar-a-Lago to a Miami megachurch, the president used all avenues to try and calm fears of a messy war with Tehran.
https://www.politico.com/news/2020/01/03/mike-pompeo-us-war-iran-093149
"“We are a peace-loving nation and my administration remains firmly committed to establishing peace and harmony among the nations in the world,” Trump said. “We do not seek war, we do not seek nation-building, we do not seek regime change, but as president I will never hesitate to defend the safety of the American people.” "
None of Tweety's words match the facts. NONE!
America STILL does all these things,
1. we seek war by drone strikes; we do not make peace or avoid war by killing world leaders, even when we do not like them, or say they kill Americans when we do not prove they kill Americans FIRST, BEFORE ATTACKING AND KILLING,
2. we still try (we always fail) nation building as in Afghanistan,
3. we still seek regime change in the open via sanctions against Iran, AND by negating and ending ALL negotiations for peaceful limitation of nukes (Tweety broke the treaty!), and
4. we especially still include policing the world (Trump said we are not the world's police, then he makes our military police our southern border and the world), and he uses our State Department, a shadow "State Department" in Giuliani, and he abuses his power by withholding funds Congress appropriated to help an ally, Ukraine, defend themselves from Russian incursion.
"AOC Calls Trump's Iran Drone Strike An 'Act of War,' Urges Congress To 'Protect Innocent People From Horrific Consequences'"
By Jeffery Martin On 1/3/20
TRUTH! I think more people will die than Tweety pretends to protect.
IT'S PURE 1984, AND INCREDIBLY UNAWARE OF UNITENDED CONSEQUENCES. HOW COULD AMERICAN GENERALS ADVISE A STRIKE LIKE THIS?
"Donald Trump has blundered into a crisis of his own making with Iran"
By Mohamad Bazzi 3 Jan 2020
The president inherited relative peace. Now conflict with Iranian proxies across the Middle East seems likely
Are Americans safer now that our military has killed Iran's #2 leader? What if Iran kills our Secretary of Defense or our Vice President?
A drone strike cannot be called a de-escalation! A drone strike is a form of terrorism. Obama used drones a lot, but that doesn't make it OK for Trump's killing Iran's #2 leader.
The USA drone killed the Iranian General in Iraq, which will give Iran reason to kill IRAQUIS!
Would Americans be safer if the General was still alive given killing him can lead to war, retaliation way beyond whatever the General might have been planning, many, many more deaths?
Now the USA is shipping troops BACK to Iraq and putting THOUSANDS OF SOLDIERS ON ALERT AND AT RISK. I thought Trump wanted to bring troops home?
HOW IS THIS TROOP INCREASE IN IRAQ A DEESCALATION? IT IS AN OCCUPATION OF IRAQ!
Now America has to protect the soldiers added to Iraq IN ADDITION to any targets Iran supposedly had targeted (no proof offered)!
Can killing 1 man save lives; does killing 1 man ever save any lives? After USA killed Osama and al Baghdadi, and other terrorist fighters our soldiers continue to die, so the answer is no, the killing never stopped, and never will.
America cannot kill an idea. America cannot gain fealty from those who hate us by killing them. America cannot kill enough "terrorist" to stop terror. Maybe we can save someone, but we can not everyone.
Will Iran respond? Of course! Their national pride is challenged. Now the challenge is that we cannot intercede to keep diplomats safe, we have to prepare everywhere for everything.
No need to worry, right?
We know nothing that suggests Tweety Trump would lie to us, or that he would betray his Oath of Office in any way, right?
Ha! I'm kidding! Trump promised us he would lie to us and so he has, almost every single day he has been President of the United States one way or another.
Donald Trump will not be impeached as he boldly distracts America away from the entire impeachment process by killing Iran's #2 in gov, essentially killing their "Mike Pence."
What do the Democrats have to ask about Trump's attack on Iran?
Is it a distraction from his impeachment? No, Tweety would never!
"Katie Hill says Trump killed Soleimani 'to distract from impeachment'"
by Spencer Neale | January 03, 2020
Aw, come on Katie. Why are you so cynical. Can't we trust Tweety? Tweety has not done anything to deserve this kind of insult. Tweety Trump said something big was going to happen in the next few weeks.
"Former Congresswoman Katie Hill accused President Trump of killing top Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani to distract from his looming Senate impeachment trial."
By Spenser Neale 3 Jan 2020
"A lot of us have been wondering for a long time now if @realDonaldTrump was going to try to start a war to distract from impeachment," the California Democrat wrote on Twitter. "With his trial heading to the Senate imminently, we’ve got our answer, folks.""
Of course Trump explains he killed for peace. PUKE!
"Is the Soleimani assassination meant to distract from Trump’s impeachment crisis?"
Lawrence Martin Public affairs columnist - Washington - Special to The Globe and Mail
Published January 3, 2020
"A recurrent theme throughout the Donald Trump presidency has been restraint in the application of military power. It followed from his belief that, as he said in December, “the United States cannot continue to be the policeman of the world.” While he has engaged in a lot of sabre-rattling over the course of his administration, his bark is often bigger than his bite.
No longer. Not with the assertion of military might that targeted and killed top Iranian general Qassem Soleimani. Any notion that he was the peace president can now be set aside. The destabilizer at home has become the destabilizer abroad.
Although Mr. Trump has been hostile to Iran throughout his presidency, the strike still came as a surprise to foreign-policy analysts. He has repeatedly vowed to steer clear of costly and endless conflicts in the Middle East; just last summer, a more temperate Mr. Trump called off a planned attack on Iran just as the Pentagon was prepared to strike in response to the downing of an American drone, saying that he felt there would be too many deaths from such a response.
The timing of the risk-laden attack raises questions of political motivation, given that it comes when Mr. Trump has been impeached in the House of Representatives and faces a trial in the Senate on the impeachment articles. His sudden dramatic escalation of global tensions deflects and distracts from that crisis."
The TIMING of what will be called "Tweety Trump's War" in history books, as Trump's re-election in 2020, is very suspicious.
"Mr. Trump’s military strike came at the very moment that defending his actions around the Ukraine scandal got much more difficult to do. E-mails from officials at the Defence Department and the Office of Management and Budget were published this week, showing that the decision to withhold military aid to Ukraine until it opened an investigation into political rival Joe Biden came directly from the President, and that his decision came in spite of warnings from Defence Department staff that the hold violated U.S. law."
It's the TIMING folks, to kill Iran's #2 leader when, as Tweety stated on TV, 3 Dec 2020, IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE A LONG TIME AGO.
The General has been out in the open for THREE YEARS, three years!
"Ilhan Omar Implies Trump Ordered Soleimani Killing as ‘Distraction’ from Impeachment"
By Zachary Evans About Zachary Evans - January 3, 2020
What is "implied?" It is obvious what Tweety is doing.
Let's read what the extremely conservation "NationalReview" says about this notion of distracting us from impeachment.
THAT MANY PEOPLE AND EUROPEAN GOVERNMENTS HAVE PUBLICLY STATED THIS ATTACK IS WRONG MINDED!
"“So what if Trump wants war, knows this leads to war and needs the distraction?” Omar wrote on Twitter. “Real question is, will those with congressional authority step in and stop him? I know I will.”"
The rest of the article is OK as I read it, just reporting the facts and statements by people like Pompeo.
The timing of this kill seems to coincidental BECASUE TWEETY TUMP SAID HIMSELF THAT THIS SHOULD (COULD?) HAVE BEEN DONE "LONG AGO!" Maybe even three years ago when the General was in plain sight? Somebody in power, maybe everybody in power, thought it would be a bad idea to kill the General!
Tweety said it himself on TV! Maybe he thought his comment could be used to blame Obama, but when he said this could have been done long ago, he was revealing his true, cynical purpose, to turn America's focus away from his impeachment to a war, battles, and dead and wounded Americans that will be coming home during this new war.
Tweety's words tell us he could have done the killing i2017 or 2018. Tweety did the killing more to distract America from what he has done to abuse his power while President, than to protect anyone.
Does Tweety have a follow up plan? Yes, get re-elected, once about 45 soldiers die fighting in the battels with Iran for his sake.
Will Tweety f**k up the military plan?
What are likely unintended consequences of killing Iran's VP?
How many Iraqis have we killed since we pre-emptively attacked Iraq in 2003, and how many more do we plan to kill to save five American diplomats?
Who started the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan? This is not a question about who inherited the wars. This is to highlight how many wars the US enters, and cannot exit.
"Rose McGowan, John Cusack bash killing of Iran's Soleimani, slam Trump"
By Melissa Roberto | Fox News
Thank you Fox News for showing us some sane people explaining Tweety Trump's mistake.
"Rose McGowan and John Cusack took to Twitter late Thursday and early Friday with harsh reactions to President Trump's order of the airstrike that killed Iran's top general, Qassem Soleimani.
Cusack, 53, spared no time blasting Trump on Thursday night, letting his 1.6 million followers know that he deemed the president clueless for putting United States citizens in danger.
McGowan, 46, known for regularly making lewd [Did you decide Rose's tweets were "lewd" Fox, or perhaps you are kissing up to Tweety?] remarks against Trump on social media, sent out her own series of tweets early Friday attacking the United States and leaving some followers questioning her sanity."
I think Rose says it very clearly and logically. America is a hostage to Tweety and a rogue GOP failing their Oath of Office!
""Dear #Iran, The USA has disrespected your country, your flag, your people. 52% of us humbly apologize. We want peace with your nation. We are being held hostage by a terrorist regime. We do not know how to escape. Please do not kill us. #Soleimani," she wrote."
Fox was not gong to take this Rose "attack" against "The Dear Leader, Tweety "Fat Bastard" Trump" without some of their own vile BS.
"McGowan's followers accused the actress of doing drugs [Fox went and found a Tweety supporting celeb/"follower,"or made up a drug charge . . . lol!] and pleaded with her to take down the tweet or delete her account as a whole [Interesting that someone who "follows," thus is interested in what she has to say, wants Rose to be gone entirely isn't it . . . lol! #FOXNEWSDECEIT ; < )] . McGowan responded to the outcry with another slew of verbal attacks against America and Trump.
But Fox goes to far with Rose, allowing her to share her logic, which would appeal to normal people as factual and logical, honest and true. Fox is hoping readers will come away disrespecting Rose. Smart readers will not do so. Rose is right! Swearing doesn't make her wrong or bad.
""Thanks a lot, d--khead," McGowan wrote to Trump in another tweet.
McGowan's rage-filled Twitter spree continued into the early morning hours on Friday. When one follower simply requested she delete the apologetic tweet, McGowan responded, "eat s--t."
While the actress pointed out that Soleimani was an "evil, evil man," she continued to argue that the United States has no morals. [Under Donald Trump America has NO MORALS! Deal with it Danielle!]
"Of course #Soleimani was an evil evil man who did evil evil things. But that at this moment is not the f--king point. The United States is morally corrupt and acts illegally. It is only logical to appeal to Iran’s pride by apologizing. I’m taking one for the team. #TeamStayAlive," she continued."
Clearly Rose its the one thinking clearly here!
Of course Rose is on a "rant" if she sees a stupid act, and tweets about why it is stupid. Tweety "Fat Bastard" Trump supporters want Rose to leave the country. Tweety always says loeve me or leave the country, right? lol!
"McGowan was labeled a "traitor" as others outraged by her rant instructed her to "move out of the US!" [The default position for Tweety supporters against anyone criticizing Tweety is they should leave the country if they don't like it. The fact is, Tweety wants anyone who doesn't like HIM to leave the country, Tweety does not give a rats ass about America! I think all Tweety supporters should leave the country! Take that!]
On early Friday, President of Iran Hassan Rouhani promised to "take revenge for this heinous crime," leading to the U.S. State Department to urge all U.S. citizens to "depart Iraq immediately.""
Fox News' Danielle Wallace contributed to this report.
Thank you Danielle for your robust thinking and reportage.
Thank you for giving Rose a platform for her intelligent rebuke of your "Dear Leader" Tweety Trump.
