Drone strikes US outpost in Syria

[Tigerace117]

Was it a correct assessment that killing him would start a war? That's why you claimed the previous administrations didn't kill him.

How many reasons are you going to have to let him live and continue to kill American troops? I know you've argued dead and maimed American troops are a petty concern...but geez.

Gee bud, American desperation to carry out our petty revenge does not override international law no matter how much that triggers you.

And crying “our dead troops” is not an excuse.

We've already heard your dismissal of dead American troops as a petty reason for killing a terrorist. It's just your opinion.

You continuing to engage in “it’s terrorism when they do it, but a-okay when we do it” hypocrisy is noted.

That's just your frustration at me refusing to address your whatabouts, that leads to such a dishonest statement.

You appear hung up on labeling Soleimani as a terrorist, to the point you can't concentrate on the actual question.

Was it a correct assessment that killing this glorious hero who dared fight the Great Satan would start a war?

Oh, I’m not “frustrated” at all. I already knew expecting you to face the real world instead of engaging in apologism for US violations of international law is like expecting a cat to sing soprano.

You throwing a a tantrum because I called out your blatant hypocrisy can’t change the reality.

If ANY nation whacked a US officer like that you’d be screaming bloody murder.

So spare us the sputtering.

Sobbing “but he fought against us” is not an excuse to violate Iraq’s sovereignty, no matter how offended that makes you.

You noted he "dared" fight the Great Satan, yourself.

It's a simple question. It doesn't call for all the fantasizing you typically engage in.

Yes, he did, leading to the US conducting the strike in the name of petty “revenge”.

Of course, there is no justification for such sentiment on any level; we sure as shit don’t mind supporting war efforts against our geopolitical adversaries, which makes the whole thing laughably hypocritical.

Your desperation to defend the moronic decision, therefore, is pathetic.

Soleimani swatted like fly ------> NO WAR.


Were they wrong?

Except I literally just provided evidence showing that the strike was directly rejected due to the assessment that it would start a war

“Former U.S. presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama both considered and rejected targeting Qasem Soleimani, reasoning that it would escalate to a full-scale war. “

Assassination of Qasem Soleimani - Wikipedia

en.m.wikipedia.org

So not only had multiple previous administrations rejected such a strike, but Trump clearly knew full well who he was at that point as the subjection of carrying out the hit had been brought up repeatedly in the months prior to the strike.

I'm aware of the previous assessments - are you aware that your own source puts the planning for the Soleimani strike in the Trump administration as being in response to events of late December 2019?

He is so desperate to be "right" he can't even address the assessment at this point.

It's like watching a five year old.

Coming from the guy who tearfully defends vicious military dictators simply because they were on “our side” that’s a laugh.

And Tigerace117 courageously posts another post that does not answer the question.

 

[Tigerace117]

More meaningless, insipid sputtering about “courage”. Yawn.

Followed by even more courageous evasion.

Boot camp really broke you bad.

 

[Tigerace117]

Hate to break it to you bud but you are FAR more hung up on it than I am. I moved on a long time ago. Your fixation on my job history is pretty freaking lame

Two days in processing and two days out processing, doesn't amount much of a history.

If you're really stumped by the question, ask yourself if it did start a war, when Soleimani went to his reward.

I'm hung up because of your failure?

I'm thankful!

Please lie again. Your failure colors every whataboutism filled post and cowardly dodge post.

And calling it a "job history" is laughable as you never made it past the basics.

Oh, it was longer than that bud.

It takes a week just to inprocess in the first place

Again, sticking your arm in the shark’s mouth and miraculously managing to escape with limbs intact doesn’t make the decision to do so any less dumb

You failed. Fact.

As previously stated.....don’t care about your assessment of my job history bud.

 

[RF667799]

So how much work did you perform in that short lived "job"? I know the guys waiting their early release used to get some valuable training in cleaning latrines and such....

Your opinion is that Trump pulled off a miraculous success. But it's still just your opinion. And the question is still whether the previous administrations were wrong in their belief it would start a war.
