U.S. airstrikes take out #Iran's IRGC Quds Force chief Qasim Soleimani & Iraqi Hashd al-Shaabi (PMF) militia chief Abu Mahdi al-Mohandes
My take:
-This is targeting the head of the snake
-Far more important than killing bin Laden & Baghdadi

@JZarif, very close to Soleimani, describes the attack as “an extremely dangerous and foolish escalation.”
“This is a hugely escalatory move in an already dangerous region... President Trump just tossed a stick of dynamite into a tinderbox..."
My take:
With such an argument, one could say killing bin Laden & al-Baghdadi was wrong, too... Shame.

"Soleimani & I decided to meet once a week in Tehran to discuss latest developments & coordination. We have been working together directly & up close for more than 20 years."
Soleimani was the commander of Tehran's conglomerate of proxies in Iraq & across the Middle East, responsible for killing hundreds of thousands.
Me asking:
Why didn't you ever take such a position when Soleimani was killing hundreds of thousands across the Middle East?
Shame.
Me:
Foreign political officials?
Seriously?!
