An interesting ‘debate’ on Fox News last night as the news broke that General Soleimani, the commander of the elite Iranian Quds force, had been killed by a US air strike.
After our ground pounders led the forces that neutralized Soleimani’s activities in Syria, we topped it off by neutralizing him. We suspect some of his fellow generals are pissing their pants now
Former congressman Jason Chaffetz was subbing for Hannity. Earlier, Tucker Carlson, in his hour, disclosed the US strike at the Baghdad airport which killed the Iranian leader who has been responsible for the deaths of hundreds of US military personnel. The strike had been approved by President Trump in retaliation for the Iranian-orchestrated attack on the US embassy in Baghdad.
Carlson, however, as much as we like him, and who does some really great journalistic work otherwise, is as “anti-war” as they come (we are all “anti-war” but in the sense that Tucker and his ilk is concerned, no matter how great the threat to America, no matter how much provocation by our avowed enemies in the world, America should NEVER respond militarily). Carlson did not hide his disagreement with the strike. No doubt those who often join him on his show are undoubtedly in the same camp…Col. Douglas MacGregor and Tulsi Gabbard.
Tonight, upon hearing the news of the American strike, was no different. Our president, in Carlson’s view had been ‘conned’ into this action…a huge mistake in his mind…by the ‘John Bolton types’ around Trump. According to Tucker, they are that part of the Washington establishment who have ‘long wanted war with Iran’!
Chaffetz, better informed than Carlson, in our view, thinks differently. Trump’s action was measured, appropriate, decisive,and necessary. His guests this night included former Green Beret and former Pentagon and White House advisor, , Congressman Michael Waltz, Pete Hegseth, a combat veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan, earner of two Bronze Stars , and FoxNews contributor. They supported Chaffetz view.
I’ll go with their take over Gabbard and MacGregor!
Soleimani was a really bad guy; he was planning major attacks on Americans in the region; Iran is dedicated to “Death to America”; Barack Obama is NOT the US president…and for that, every American can be immensely grateful.
We fully support President Trump’s action.
How about you? dlh
