    The plan was to give Soleimani “amnesty” / have him removed from the UN sanction list in Phase2.

    Nice to see thanks to Donald Trump, phase2 will never happen for Soleimani.

    Doing favors for the worlds top terrorist is pathetic and should be part of the Obama legacy.

    Phase2 of the Iran Nuke deal would have had Soleimani sanction’s removed from the UN.

    Soleimani is responsible for 600+ American lives & Obama is doing him favors.

    Obama also warned Iran that Israel was going to kill Soleimani. Israel is our Allie and Iran is our enemy, so Obama turned his back on our Allie to protect the worlds #1 terrorist.

    It was all so much easier when Iran could murder and maim Americans with impunity, while we did nothing in response. I mean, God forbid we upset the toothy midget. Since killing Soleimani, Iranians have trampled and injured themselves by the hundreds at his funeral. Fired dozens of missiles at Iraqi bases, hitting no one. And accidentally shot down a commercial jet liner after it took off from their own country. Yes it made so much more sense to allow Soleimani to continue to kill and maim our dear young soldiers.

    Good Point.

    With the 56 Dead from the Funeral Trampling and the 180 Dead From the Plane Crash that makes 236 INNOCENT LIVES That Were LOST (as a Direct Result of Trump's Impulsive Action).

    Generally speaking,Those applauding Trump's Actions may find a difference of opinion among the family members of the deceased.

    Yeah and 2,996 Americans died on 9/11 because Clinton did not kill Bin Ladin when given the chance after the USS Cole attack.

    Soleimani will not be killing anymore Americans.

    There it is.... Blame trump for the idiotic actions of Iran... The left has really done lost their minds now.. And I thought TDS was bad prior to this event.

    I literally was considering voting for Tulsi this coming election but no way I can now as I need to watch all the liberal heads explode when Trump is reelected.

    Oh good, nothing to worry about from here on out. I'm sure Soleimami's successor will welcome Americans with open arms.

    Hate to burst your bubble, but it goes back to Iran and Soleimani every which way. And the judgments of the grieving are rarely astute.

    :roflol:

    BUT, this thread ISN'T about Clinton and Bin Laden.:bored:

    Why are you posting Off-Topic?

    Are ADMITTING that your only "rebuttal" is Off-Topic "Whataboutism" from Over 20 years ago?

    "Talking Points" to defend Trump's Latest Unhinged Actions must be wearing rather thin?

    "But...Clinton...Over 20 Years Ago..." :roflol: :bored:

    You can't make this up.

    Anyway, back to the OP, why would anybody take Trump's word on a claimed "Plot"?

    Obama's Iran deal has just granted an amnesty to the world's leading terrorist mastermind

    Way to go Obama.

    I don’t remember hearing reports that W had a chance to kill Bin Ladin and passed.
    W was only president for 8 months before 9/11.

    I do remember hearing that Clinton decided not try to kill Bin Ladin when he had a chance.
    It would have saved 2,996 lives.

    And Bush didn’t try either. Clinton was President for 3 months after the Cole, W was president for 9 months before 911...and after the Cole. I don’t blame presidents for not telling the future. If Iran attacks anyone will you blame trump for not overthrowing the mullahs?

    Time to get your facts straight.
    Clinton was President for 6 years When he could have killed Bin Ladin, but turned the other cheek. As a result, 2,996 American lives were lost.

    There are no reports that W had a chance to kill Bin Ladin and passed.

    As far as Iranians trampling each other.
    I thought that was hysterical.

    Off topic..... ?

    I believe the talk was about our president being responsible for Iranian lives, so I pointed out that democrats had no problem with Clinton being responsible for 2,996 American lives.

    Your a funny guy for pointing out that Trump is responsible for 50+ lives at a Iranian funeral.

    I appreciate you pointing that out, because I laughed harder than your rolling emojis when I heard that.

    You said after the Cole, which was in 2000.
    Bish took office only a few months later. And did nothing.

    Show me a report that W passed on an opportunity to kill Bin Ladin.

    Clinton at least admitted his screw up.

    Yes he could have killed 300 women and children and maybe got bin laden. And maybe create 100 more bin ladens in the process.

    Here is Bin Ladin’s 1990’s terror resume.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_al-Qaeda_attacks#1990s

    Bin Ladin had done multiple attacks on America and Clinton passed on killing him.

    There are no reports that W passed on killing Bin Ladin.

    Clinton admitted he passed.

    Reminds me of Kipling.

    If—
    BY RUDYARD KIPLING


    (‘Brother Square-Toes’—Rewards and Fairies)



    If you can keep your head when all about you
    Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
    If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
    But make allowance for their doubting too;
    If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
    Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
    Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
    And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

    If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
    If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
    If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
    And treat those two impostors just the same;
    If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
    Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
    Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
    And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:

    If you can make one heap of all your winnings
    And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
    And lose, and start again at your beginnings
    And never breathe a word about your loss;
    If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
    To serve your turn long after they are gone,
    And so hold on when there is nothing in you
    Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’

    If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
    Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
    If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
    If all men count with you, but none too much;
    If you can fill the unforgiving minute
    With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
    Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
    And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

    So he turned the other cheek and we lost 2,996 American lives.

    Brilliant !
