Washington (CNN)State Department officials involved in US embassy security were not made aware of imminent threats to four specific US embassies, two State Department officials tell CNN, further undermining President Donald Trump's claims that the top Iranian general he ordered killed earlier this month posed an imminent threat to the diplomatic outposts.
Without knowledge of any alleged threats, the State Department didn't issue warnings about specific dangers to any US embassy before the administration targeted Qasem Soleimani, Iran's second most powerful official, according to the sources.
The State Department sent a global warning to all US embassies before the strike occurred, a senior State Department official said and the department spokesperson confirmed, but it was not directed at specific embassies and did not warn of an imminent attack.
To quote one of your heroines, "What difference does it make?"
The president doesn't answer to the state department, so what if they weren't notified.

You are saying that it's perfectly fine by you that the president doesn't notify an embassy that they have information that an attack is imminent?
Do you understand what you're saying here??

So they were in imminent danger and he didn't give a **** enough to warn them.
The threat has been neutralized, what difference does it make?
There was a threat and Trump reacted to the threat. Better than some folks can say. Ain't that right?

The threat has been destroyed. What part of that don't you understand?

There was no threat
Someone may have missed the fact that the US embassy in Baghdad had been attacked by protestors who entered and then set fire to the reception annex. 4 days prior to that attack the same group launched a rocket attack against US assets in the region, killing one American. The threat against our embassy was quite real and quite imminent.
Proof?
Nobody was notified of a threat?
