Flashback

Dear General Petraeus, you should know that I, Qassem Suleimani, control the policy for Iran with respect to Iraq, Lebanon, Gaza and Afghanistan. And indeed, the ambassador in Baghdad is a Quds Force member. The individual who's going to replace him is a Quds Force member.


Qasem Soleimani
In a text message conveyed by Iraqi President Jalal Talabani to CIA director David Petraeus

While American leftists mourn Soleimani’s death, Iraqis are dancing in the streets

.....

It’s a great night to be an Iraqi in Baghdad as the pro-Democracy people embrace the news the way every American should: As the end of a murderous terrorist leader who brought fear and death with every decision he made. '

He was Tehran’s top proxy with the evil militia groups in Iraq who not only attacked Americans, but who also reigned over the people of Iraq with an iron fist. They are the government, or rather, they were.

This move by President Trump will discombobulate them at the least and may cause division between the various factions. Soleimani was the linchpin that kept them working together. Now, there’s a void in coordination.

More videos keep emerging of the celebration in the streets....

God Bless America

Looks like we used the Hellfire R9X missile...aka the “Flying Ginsu.”

Top Taiwanese general: death by helicopter crash.
Top Iranian general: death by airstrike.
Both within 24 hours. I know the main narrative is about the embassy in Baghdad but is there a second narrative? Just seems strange.

I wondered about Taiwan as I was thinking of the Q comment about airplane crashes. Then the Quds boss [or his double] gets whacked. This may not be part of the same plan. Quds boi gets what he deserves but why Taiwan?

Was the General in cahoots with the mainland and ready to help China regain the island?

Lance, check, in the old [pre-drone] days, we would land the Corps and the enemy would get ventilated by gunfire or blown up. I strongly doubt there was any [ever?] congressional approval for all the ops that took place in the 20th century.

A big part of the problem is that "war" isn't defined in the Constitution. The other problem is that, as you note, certain "adjustments" need to take place in the immediacy of a situation. Even going back to the Barbary pirates, the American ships needed to be able to defend themselves without sailing back to the US, going to Congress, getting a declaration of war, then sailing back and responding.

Modern mass destruction weapons and technology certainly accelerate the need for being able to respond immediately, but the problem of defense and strategically placed offensive actions is age-old.

Golly, stay safe out there.

TAT, reports are saying between 5 and 8 killed.

Your link on the Flying Ginsu says:

The missile likely has a 100 percent lethal danger zone of about 30 inches.

Does a 30 inch kill zone stack up with 5 to 8 killed? Maybe they were all lined up in a row in the direction of missile travel.

Not trying to disprove... just querying.

Might help visualize the Flying Ginsu

Breaking News: Trump's Appoints John Kerry to special envoy to Iran. Kerry will stay in Teheran with the Leadership of Iran as an "Insurance Policy", showing the US Admins desire for peace.

Trump said of the immediate appointment of Kerry: "If the Iranians don't like the actions of the US, they can use Kerry to show their displeasure. Win win for both Nation's.

New Ambassador Kerry was unavailable for comment on his new post.................

Haha. Didn't you know the Amish head south for the winter?

The "pine trees" are nicer down in Florida.

Doing a little bit of Space Coast R&R, hopefully SpaceX will send up thier big firecraker tonight.

Keep an eye to the sky. You never know what might come down.

Beware the flying Ginsu.

That particular ordinance is non-explosive.

a reply to: pteridine

I have several thoughts on this. First there was mention in another thread of laser pointers being used by the embassy intruders to which I commented they were also used in the Hongkong protests and that this specific detail might be about China pushing its narrative of Hongkong being a color revolution initiated and sustained by western powers and this being their way of "diplomatically" suggesting that they are willing to stir up things in return.

China, Russia and Iran are increasingly coordinating their geopolitical interests. In certain aspects they will act as one player on the global chessboard.

Enter Trump Putin phone call. Suppose Trump signalled he would take an important Iranian piece off the board. In diplomatic terms it is understood that the other side will have to make a move. Art of the deal (hypothetical): "if your next move will neither directly involve Iran or the US we will look away if there is plausible deniability" Obviously no such words would ever be spoken out loud but it might have been implied in some way or other.

Iran will still react but possibly without the added oomph of Russia and China in this particular instance... the top Taiwanese General dies in an accident.

a reply to: dashen

There are probably generals in the regular (non Rev Guards) Iranian forces smirking about General S. getting Predator'd. The regular military guys there get walked around like dogs on leashes by the enforcers in the RG.

Pretty sure Huma's family is from Saudi Arabia. But I get the point.

a reply to: RelSciHistItSufi

Rel, questions are, how many Hellfires were launched, and how close were the targets to each other.

That 30 inches is for sure kill. Beyond that radius, there is a point that is considered "effective", meaning that 50% of the personnel targeted are either killed or incapacitated. But a Hellfire ... whew ... they carry hefty warheads. As originally designed, they were intended to crack open Soviet T-80 tanks like walnuts.

If so, /ourguys/ ought to be able to trace who provided that leak to the paper. A high level deep state rat inside the pentagon or WH? They need dismissal and an indictment.

Key in "traitor" in QMAP and draw the picture.

a reply to: queenofswords

QOS, yeah, that is -too- coincidental to be believed.

Like those crossword hints that appeared in British papers before D-Day. Took decades to firmly establish a leak had occurred and who the culprit was.

Before this is over, it is going to be revealed that the enemedia is full of traitors, loyal, not to our country and our people, but to globalists and renegade(s) that keep them in business.

Flashback
William Randolph Hearst and the Spanish-American war

......In 1897, New York Journal/San Francisco Examiner publisher William Randolph Hearst sent a number of correspondents
to Cuba to file dispatches on the conflict there between Spanish colonialists and Cuban rebels. In fact the rebels held no territory, had a small number of followers, and were vastly out manned and outgunned by the Spanish occupiers.
Thus after having been there for a time, artist Frederick Remington sent a telegram to Hearst saying that the situation was quiet and nothing much was happening and

...Hearst famously is said to have replied, 'Please remain. You furnish the news and I'll furnish the war.' This anecdote was related in Hearst operative James Creelman's 1901 memoir, and there is no other source for this story that has yet come to light, so we must necessarily take it with a grain of salt, but current
scholarship tends to downplay Hearst's role in fomenting the Spanish-American war, as well as Hearst papers' tendency to print stories that were, to put it bluntly, lies.

Not much has changed in the MSM
