GEE, WONDER WHY
Incessant Fox griping over the deep state has been replaced by sober pleas that the U.S. intelligence communitys findings should be taken seriously.

Since Trumps election, an inescapably common refrain of the president and his biggest boosters in conservative media has been to rail against the deep state. The Russian election interference probe, theyve repeatedly said, was nothing more than a coup or disinformation campaign perpetrated by the anti-Trump intelligence community.
Over the past 24 hours, however, incessant Fox griping over deep state suddenly went quiet, replaced by sober pleas thatwhen it comes to the info allegedly justifying Trumps ordered airstrike killing Irans top general Qassem Soleimanithe U.S. intelligence communitys findings should be heeded and taken seriously as unimpeachably correct information.
Immediately after the Pentagon confirmed U.S. responsibility for the strike, claiming it was aimed at deterring future Iranian attack plans, Fox News host Sean Hannityperhaps the most well-known deep state critic in mediaheaped praise upon the intelligence community.
The ability of the military, our intelligence community, the State Department, and the president making the call, very quickly, you know, understood that the Iranian forces on the ground bore a direct threat to the American people, said Hannity, calling into his own show on Thursday night. Once the intelligence was confirmed, once the understanding that they were there to sow the discord and discontent, the president acted as quickly as possible, taking out this top general.
But I will say the big headline is, this is a huge victory for American intelligence, a huge victory for our military, a huge victory for the State Department, and a huge victory and total leadership by the president, the primetime host, who has spent more than two years and countless on-air segments railing against shadowy deep state intelligence, concluded.
By Friday morning, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo went even further than the Pentagon, saying that it was necessary to take out Soleimani as it disrupted an imminent attack, adding that the risk doing nothing was enormous and the intelligence community made that assessment and President Trump acted decisively last night.............................

(21,440 posts)that was supposed to have killed more Iraqi militiamen actually killed a convoy of medics. Our intelligence claims we didn't do the 2nd strike.
This is the problem with Trump, he is like the boy crying wolf. He lies so much that when he tells the truth people won't believe him.
Did Trump just kill 6 medics in Iraq or was this a false flag perpetrated by Iran? Used to be if our intelligence or ranking military came out and said it wasn't us everyone would believe them. Now because of Trump's constant lying no one knows who to believe. Trump made his bed lying, now he is going to have to sleep in it.

(21,440 posts)Bibi has been trying to eliminate Soleimani for a long time. This should also take the heat off Israel and put it back on the US.
Look at history folks, go back to the surge where we picked a side, we picked the Sunni side, we paid Sunnis not to attack us but to fight with us against Shias.
