Wait... WHUT?? The SecDef “didn’t see the intelligence about Iran posing an imminent threat to 4 U.S. embassies”???Then why is the POTUS saying that?
If the SecDef didn’t see intel about an imminent threat, then there wasn’t one. He is privy to all intel in re military matters

Think about that for a minute. Despite how guilty Soleimani may be for past actions, we now have a SecDef willing to launch an attack against a foreign government official on foreign soil without intel of an imminent threat based on the POTUS’s “belief.” #WhatHaveWeBecome?
I am no Soleimani apologist. He was a terrorist leader and a murderer. But America is a county of laws and rules. We follow the rules even when others don’t. And in this case there are a lot rules regarding the assassination of a member of a govt with which we are not at War.
I could go on ad infinitum but at a minimum, in America, this should not be a unilateral Presidential decision. Assassination of a foreign national is a serious action that can lead to full-scale war. Democrat or Republican, we should agree that this is the correct action. (End)
