Come on folks! These guys are clowns in a circus! Tweety Trump and Pompous Pompeo have given maybe a reason every day, each, contradicting each other almost daily, sometimes agreeing for a while during the day.
The President absolutely lied and lied and lied about the general's embassy planned attacks!
Trump tries to say he cares about the Iranian people, tweets USA watching the government, and they better not kill anyone? Human rights now? What about Saudi Arabia? Oh, I get it, Saudi has bought Trump's loyalty.
Then the Secretary of Defense says no embassies were under imminent threat, although maybe in the future some embassies were going to be threatened, eventually, for sure. lol!
"Senior administration officials struggle to explain intelligence behind killing of Soleimani"
By Karen DeYoung-Associate editor & senior national security correspondent-Jan 12, 2020
"“I didn’t see one with regard to four embassies,” Defense Secretary Mark T. Esper said of intelligence reports. “What I’m saying is I share the president’s view that probably — my expectation was they were going to go after our embassies” Esper told CBS’s “Face the Nation.”"
This really is a joke. So only Trump and Pompeo knew about the planned, IMMINENT embassy attacks?
Any idiot could guess, purely GUESS, the general might have had a plan to attack an American embassy some day. It was NOT an imminent threat which is why Trump and Pompeo keep pissing all over each others excuses for the drone kill.
This is a comedy, but a deadly act for sure.
These clowns are lying about something, hell, they lie all the time so it is certain they are lying about lots. I am not sure they even know what to say to even pretend not to lie.
These guys aren't credible! They have now conveyed not one, but MANY reasons for the drone kill, so what is the truth?
Pompeo Contradicts Trump about why they did the kill, uses bad logic for a "imminent threat," and today then Tweety pitches one too, the big bad general planned attacks n several embassies. When do they stop and what is true?
Even Tucker Carlson, the Fox News clown who can't find his ass with two hands knows the drone kill was a bad kill.
Trump tells his rally bumpkins he didn't need to tell Congress. Why should he, and they all laugh while he smirks like the clown he is.
War Powers Act

"The War Powers Act—officially called the War Powers Resolution—was enacted in November 1973 over an executive veto by President Richard M. Nixon.
The law’s text frames it as a means of guaranteeing that “the collective judgment of both the Congress and the President will apply” whenever the American armed forces are deployed overseas. To that end, it requires the President to consult with the legislature “in every possible instance” before committing troops to war."
I have no idea what Tweety is up to, but most times whatever he does, it is a self-serving, so what is it this time in the drone kill?
Was the threat truly imminent for the risk he took? Has Iran really "stood down" and the threta of ar is less now?
Tweety Trump and Pompeo did not study the Israeli method for assassinations well enough! These two bumbling "Beetle Baileys" aren't smart enough to pull off an Israeli type assassination. The FIRST thing they do is get a narrative set up to explain AND DEFEND the murder! The Israeli's always curry favor as victims defending themselves. Tweety Trump and Pompous Pompeo did not set the scene for a "good" drone kill.
"Hallmarks of a classic Israeli operation"
Ben Lynfield Wednesday 17 February 2010
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/hallmarks-of-a-classic-israeli-operation-1901734.html
"Mossad, which in Hebrew stands for the Institute for Intelligence and Special Operations, is in charge of overseas espionage and covert operations. The agency's modus operandi has in the past included audacious overseas sting operations such as the plot to seize Mordechai Vanunu, the man who revealed Israel's nuclear secrets to the British press. An Israeli female agent called Cindy was the "honey trap" who lured Vanunu on a romantic assignation to Rome, from where he was taken to Israel for trial."
The Mossad has had failures, of course.
"Journalist Details Israel's 'Secret History' Of Targeted Assassinations"

"Ronen Bergman says that while Israel's shootings, poisonings, bombings and drone strikes against its perceived enemies were "tactical successes," they were also diplomatically harmful."
As noted, "success" brings with it unintended consequences which can be bad for the country, the soldiers, and innocent people. Tweety Trump and Pompous Pompeo are going to get US soldiers killed.

This is ludicrous! This "man-child" fool serving as our President and the goofy grinning smirk Pompeo are trying to sell us on the Iran general being the most dangerous terrorist on the planet, when we ALL know the drone kill was to distract from the impeachment.
The clowns cannot make up their minds what explains why they killed the general.
"Amid confusion and contradictions, Trump White House stumbles in initial public response to Soleimani’s killing"
By David Nakamura - Reporter covering the White House, and Josh Dawsey - Reporter covering the White House January 7, 2019
"In the days after a U.S. military drone killed Maj. Gen. Qasem Soleimani near the Baghdad airport, Trump and his top advisers have refused to provide details of what prompted the decision to strike and offered conflicting accounts over whether Soleimani was coordinating imminent attacks on U.S. facilities in the Middle East.
The lack of clear information continued late Tuesday in Washington, after Iran said it retaliated for Soleimani’s death with missile attacks on military bases in Iraq. The White House announced Trump would make no public remarks in response Tuesday night, nor would any other senior administration officials. Hours later, Trump tweeted that he would address the nation Wednesday morning. “All is well!” he declared."
This is a Beetle Bailey operation! It's several days later and several news reasons for the drone ill have been floated by these two clowns. What can we believe?
And the House Minority Lead, Keven McCarthy says the drone kill is Schumer's fault for distracting everyone with impeachment? Are you kidding me?
This idiot tryin to act smart, Kevin McCarthy, somehow thinks Americans are going to buy his crap and assume Tweety was so intent on the impeachment he could have targeted the general ANY TIME! I thought the GOP strategy was for the President to do his business routine to make everything seem normal.
Then there is the FACT the general has been moving around in public for THREE YEARS, Kevin! Kevin, the general did not sneak into Iraq, he came in on a commercial airliner and met his ride in clear pubic view. The general was not hiding Kevin!
Kevin is brain dead to suggest the impeachment kept Tweety from his drone kill!
We know for sure this was a ploy for Tweety's re-election campaign because he predicted it in 2011, start a war with Iran is a way to get re-elected!
Millions (MILLIONS) of Americans, not just Congress, not just Dems (Nikki Haley is an idiot to say anyone not supporting Tweety is a traitor. Anyone not agreeing the drone strike was done right is a traitor. Nikki is acting like a "cheap political whore!" because Nikki KNOWs Congress is trying to keep us from having a President who can single handedly start a war. Wars need Congressional approval Nikki, did you know that?
See Urban Dictionary) for "cheap political whore," and send Nikki a copy of the War Powers Act. Oh, excuse me, she already has a copy, she worked as out Ambassador to the UN!
Americans have absolutely no idea when Tweety is telling the truth. No one has any idea when Tweety tells the truth. We don't know because Tweety lies pathologically, he lies all the time. Tweety's "truthful hyperbole" and his continuous extreme exaggerations make truth hard to find in his mouth or brain. Yesterday he said we're spending ~$2TRILLION on news weapons when the number this year is ~$482BILLION (much fraud, waste, and abuse (by the way), so HOW CAN WE BELIEVE ANYTHING HE SAYS/ TELL ME HOW TO FIND TRUTH FROM TWEETY?
Tweety is going to get Americans killed! It looks like he may have caused the death of 179 people on a airliner flying out of Ukraine as Iran tries to formulate a face-saving response!
Did the two clowns think about unintended consequences of killing the general? Did Tweety and Pompous Pompeo think of the possible mistakes. The way Tweety says it in his press conference, it seems like HE MADE THE "MISTAKE!" DID OUR MILITARY DO ANOTHER IRAN 655 AND SHOOT DOWN AN INNOCENT PASSENGER FLIGHT AGAIN?
"Trump on downed Ukrainian plane: 'Somebody could've made a mistake'"
By Brett Samuels - 01/09/20 12:23 PM EST
Tweety Trump took America down the path to war with Iran as soon as he refused to negotiate improvements in the nuke limitations agreement. Tweety could not negotiate peace.
Why is a war with Iran in our nationals interest?
Impeachment done, Senate trial advance declaration IS that TWEETY Trump is "not guilty," so it is no surprise Tweety Trump is ready to roll out his distractions.
In Trump's 2011 "crystal ball" prediction he stated Obama will start a war with Iran to get re-elected. Tweety said Obama is pathetic to do that, and Obama can't negotiate peace. Note, Obama did not go to war, and he DID negotiate peace with the nuke agreement, and he did not lead to a "fog of war" kind of accidental killing of 176 people in a passenger flight.
A DRONE KILL OF IRAN GENERAL a man not on any global terror list, a general around for decades, a general moving around in public, in the open, NOT HIDING the last 3 years, a general never mentioned by our government, not by Tweety, not by Pompeo, so why drone now?
It is patently obvious, TRUMP COULD HAVE DRONED the general YEARS AGO, even during the impeachment hearings. Tweety could have done the drone kill, in his own words, long ago as it was "LONG OVERDUE," SO WHY DRONE NOW?
TRUMP FIRED BOLTON FOR PUSHING IRAN WAR, SO WHY DRONE NOW?
SAUDI peace talks underway, SO why DRONE now?
Trump announced he wanted peace, so why drone now?
TRUMP clamed there was an imminent threat with no evidence presented to Congress, for which there was plenty of time, see LONG OVERDUE" comment, SO WHY DRONE NOW?
Trump gave no notice to Congress, recognizing the timing of this drone kill was crazy, recall his words "long overdue," he had lots of time for SENSIBLE SCRUTINY & credible question to assess unintended consequences, so why drone now?
Pompeo announced one reason for the kill was CONTRACTOR deathS & the Embassy ATTACK, but neither was an "imminent" THREAT, they were history, SO WHY DRONE NOW?
Pompeo floated another idea 9 Jan, saying the general killed 15,000 Iranians in Iran, people looking for freedom, but I thought Tweety did not want to be the world's police. With Pompeo's thought, his rationale would mean we could drone kill China's President Xi, so why drone now?
In a war between US and Iran, Iraq could become USA'S human SHIELD, so why drone now?
As Iraq asks USA to withdraw troops, Trump's reaction is ugly, deceitful, so his best "plan" is to demand payment for airfields USA built for a war in Iraq and he threatens SANCTIONs against Iraq, so why drone now?
Trump shows blatant cowardice as he endangers millions of innocent people with stupid tweets and an ugly policy that betrays American values, and he said in 2011 it would be a "pathetic" move to start as war with Iran to get re-elected, (Trump's 2011 words), so why drone now?
Trump says Article 2 of the Constitution says he can do anything he wants, so he does it.
Trump disrespects the US Constitution he swore to uphold with his right hand on the Bible (take notice Evangelicals!).
Trump demeans his Oath of Office when he asks why American does not commit war crimes as terrorists do. Are you kidding me. The answer is in the question!
America does not commit war crimes because we are not terrorists, dummy!
The slippery slope for America's military to become a "Revolutionary Guard" so-to-speak bunch of terrorists starts with these kinds of asinine questions from the Commander in Chief, with his draft dodging mentality!
America's terrorism begins when Trump impulsively, stupidly intervenes in military justice, pardons Navy war criminals, demonstrating no knowledge of the rules of war. The Navy Secretary was fired when he resisted Tweety's insane pardon of a truly crazy, rogue murdering Navy war criminal. Generals will stand up against Trump too.
"Army general declines to reinstate Special Forces tab to officer pardoned by Trump"
By Dan Lamothe - Reporter covering the Pentagon and the U.S. military Jan 9, 2019
"An Army general has denied a request by an officer pardoned in an open murder case by President Trump to have his Special Forces tab reinstated, setting up a potential flash point with the commander in chief."
Americana CAN live in, or reject Trump's creepy, sick, ugly way of running our country and crapping on Allies and the World in NOVEMBER by voting. The choice is the man, or our country.
