Apparently taking the General out with an air attack was one of the options presented to Trump. This was the token "stupid option", they always put in to get the president to do something sensible.
So now the US will be trapped into a war they can't win. US carpet bombed Vietnam and they still lost, Iran won't back down.I'm alright JackComment

If it wasn't for US we would not have South Korea now, and most of Europe if not all would still be occupied by Soviet Nazies

You do know it’s quite possible to understand all the “good”* things they’ve done, and yet still be able to be critical of the “bad”*?

My comment was about Us loss in Vietnam, which only happened due to USSR supplying not just AA equipment but also manning it, including fighter jets. There is no such factor now.Comment

The bastard needed taking out - before he caused any more "problems". The US were well within their rights to do this, legally and morally.
No US troops were injured in the operation. No helicopters were left burning in the desert. Win win.Old Greg - In search of acceptance since Mar 2007. Hoping each leap will be his last.Comment

Oona Hathaway on Twitter: "The Department of Defense has issued a short statement that makes clear that the basis of the U.S. strike on Soleimani is self defense, though it does not use the term. Here are a few thoughts on the legal basis of the strike. 1/ https://t.co/jZ2bhGgG64"
In sum, based on what we currently know, the U.S. strike on Maj. Gen. Qassem Soleimani is legally tenuous under both domestic and international law. Congress should begin hearings and demand answers about the legal basis and the plan for handling the inevitable fallout. 15/Comment

According to reports the USA were thinking of taking him out some months ago. It's interesting that Trump only gave the order now when he is facing impeachment and re-election....“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment
