That is equivalent to killing someone under a flag of truce.

and is unmistakably impeachable

I have no doubt these lunatics are itching to use nukes, and there’s not a sane person in this administration that will stop Trump and the sick, evil people he’s surrounded with.

achieve sainthood in the republican party. Another Trump "promise" kept, I imagine they'll say.

This is murder most foul

If True - This violates so many codes of conduct in warfare and diplomacy and is something that should make another article of impeachment and also Iran should go to UN about this...along with other Nations condemning US for this and other war crimes, including threatening to destroy cultural targets.

Lock him up!

tRump's threat to attack religious and cultural sites in his "52 targets" tweet. That alone is an illegal act/war crime, he said. Other countries DO want to take this to the UN. Our European allies are not too thrilled, Putin said this was a stupid move as well as the US military officials who stupidly gave tRump this idiotic attack as a "last resort" option and didn't expect him to choose it. Iran and Iraq are pissed off too. The only country happy about it might be Israel.

You learn to think about things and when I heard where he was killed, it immediately came to mind that it most likely was a set up and he was traveling to a meeting that the US knew about.

My dad always said Suleimani was a bigger danger as a martyr and dead. I remembered him saying that when we had some discussions about Iran.

He also knew that road well near the airport and my Uncle trained Iraqi soldiers there.

Sounds similar to what happened with Khashoggi.

This is the part where a Trump laughed because he’s a sadistic asshole.

get the heat of this impeachment thing off of them some how. I knew the effing republicans would come up with some sort of shit like this.

I’m a New Yorker, we have been hating this asshole since 1978. So is it a bias, or an unfortunate layering of historical content?

The options were presented to him. That makes me dubious. Would the Pentagon present an option that involved assassinating a man on a peace mission?

Life, it happens.

However, I do hope you’re correct and no human being tied to the pentagon gave him that option.

Still been hating him since 1978, should make myself a teeshirt.

Will the Iraqi PM go to the UN to have Trump called accountable?

He needs to be PUBLICLY shamed and censured and put in the stockades for this!

I wish I could say this surprises me. But, I wouldn't put this past him and his filthy-ass toadies.

We now know just how fucking evil this monster is. He has to go but until he does, we must refuse to comply with any of his commands.

agree that many Dems just sit back and tolerate this war mongering, especially the Republican Lite variety.

Wonder how well it would go over using any other race in that term?

is that redundant.

sad but very true

That the end justifies the means. No matter the cost, they will support candidates who get them their judges/courts/guns/religious ‘tolerance’ laws, etc. This is the next step, and I wonder how long before it’s justified domestically?

How long before he stops trying to dig up dirt on Biden, and just suggests someone “rid me of this troublesome priest” at one of his rallies, and someone does, and gets off on a sham trial?

Unfortunately I think we are descending into that morass.

Exactly...exactly what hub & I've being saying for months. It's even the way his christian supporters think - the end justifies the means.
Rump & his supporters are immoral criminals.

After all, it's our "duty" after all to make the world safe for democracy, don't you know...

(hard to type that with a straight face)

But “American Exceptionalism” has always been one of those phrases that start off making me cringe, and go downhill from there. All too often because of the obvious <ehrm> “exceptional” quality of the person doing the expounding.

Interesting little tidbit.

What a flaming mess.

Trump can provide a selective 'transcript'.

major consequences for years to come. Again,your word is your bond. Not anymore,the Saudi's are now suspect also.

His word has no meaning - this is a war crime.

or am i missing something?

I doubt PM would agree to be part of a "lure" though.

...Shit

country back in WWII?

And then brought out the ambassador's daughter Nayirah to lie about babies being tossed from incubators by Iraqi soldiers. This is nothing new.

and other world leaders would start telling americans. GET RID OF THIS FUCKER, He's is destroying everything human !!

It is not americans, military, plans, nothing it is religio/fascist nut jobs and an insane president.

Yeah, I guess that would shake them up a little

All we can hope is that the Iranians and their allies don't hold us responsible for the cheating that put him into power. Of course, that is a pipe dream but...

will shrug and say, "So?"

in with the American people...but it will happen.

Good think enough of us know WTF here and he will be gone November 2020, this stunt shan't help him...it's going to turn EVEN MORE against his orange ass.

Yah, this'll end well...

If true, is war crime.

Now that we know the target was lured into position with a fig leaf this is an out & out war crime & everyone involved MUST be imprisoned.

and could care less how it happens, or what the consequences of that action might be. So consistent. So deplorable. So Thug. Embrace your Chosen One GOP. Oh, and buy your oil and gas now. And sell your stocks. A shit storm is brewing.

If true, this is terrifying. No wonder the Pentagon was so quick to distance themselves from this. But Pentagon officials are just as guilty. Was there pushback? Did they believe they were carrying out unlawful order, and did it anyway? The whole bunch of shitstains that surround Trump are complicit.

I cannot put anything past these evil murderous basturds! They will stop at NOTHING to satiate their greed! This crime ring MUST be destroyed at any cost!

💥And if anything, will escalate and likely deliver a delayed “Christmas present” over the Pacific Ocean or restart HEU production at nuke plants....especially with US tied down in Middle East. DISASTER!!!😱😡 Guessing the Evangelical leaders get what they want: Planned Apocalypse to hasten “The Rapture”

This is a disaster. This is what happens when our country is manned by a bunch of unqualified and compromised yahoos.

Dumbo apparently did call the Iraqi PM who agreed to mediate a de-escalation between SA and Iran. I don't know how much time elapsed between that call and the assassination, but I doubt that Dumbo knew in advance whom Tehran would be sending to Baghdad to negotiate the de-escalation. The assassination *may* have been simply an impulsive crime of convenience committed by a left hand ignorant of what the right hand was doing. Needs investigating.

Luring someone to his own slaughter under false pretenses?

I didn't think I could be any more disgusted. Why on earth would ANYONE trust our lying, corrupt government going forward? SMFH! Dump and the Saudis are once again joining forces to commit murder and thuggery.

Iraq was right to give US the boot. Iran, NK and others have zero incentive to drop their nuclear programs at this point.

No opposition leader will ever sit down with a U.S. backed diplomat out of fear of assassination.

joke.

What a bunch of lying chicken hawks

..... Suleiman was not met at the airport by Iraqi government officials.....
