    Thing is, Iranian money comes from their oil/gas fields, which are all close to the coast. You don't need to invade to totally **** them off.

    Maybe Obama was trying to negotiate some sort of peace deal with them? I don't agree that this is something to criticize Obama for, unless it can be shown that he was being negligent.

    He met with a known terrorist, and in fact the Marines kicked in his door and arrested him last night.

    Even at the time of this meeting-the press could see he wasn't the type that should be in the oval office.

    it was their money, are you suggesting we steal it from them when trying to work out a deal

    Trump gave up that leverage, now we have to make a deal without that, what kinda deal you think Trump will get?

    now they got their money back and we got no deal, thanks Trump

    If your smart enough to have your enemy's money you keep it, never giving quarter to your enemy, and always taking spoils and every advantage of them.

    we were trying to work on diplomacy, I guess that a few on the right prefers another 10+ year war (how much will that cost us?)

    Trump should have left the current deal in place and tried to add a 2nd deal on top of it, now Trump has to start from scratch

    not smart to trash the deal we already had in place

    He was an ally when Obama met with him. Why do you make things up ?

    He NOW is against the US because of our policy changes. Blaming Obama for who he is now is beyond disingenuous, its just a flat out falsehood

    Iran has been designated a state sponsor of terrorism for quite some time. The guy we killed ran those things. He has been in that role for quite some time(since the 90’s). He was definitely a terrorist when he visited too.

    As for the attacking of our embassy, it seems to look like that to intelligence and the military, while that doesn’t make it necessarily true(can’t trust the government) there isn’t really anything going against it....

    So, which part was the lie?

    Everyone (even the hyperliberal Left) must acknowledge that Qasem Soleimani was the head of the Iranian terrorist 'army' called "Quds" in Iraq.

    Why are radical Democrats carping and bitching about our having gotten rid of this snake?! Anything to try to pile more sh*t on Donald Trump -- right? But if the next Quds attack on Americans in Iraq (which was all set to go) had been successful, you can bet these America-hating clowns would be silent and totally oblivious to the whole thing, because, after all NOTHING is more important than impeaching and getting rid of Trump -- right? :spin:

    Then the same people would be saying Trump failed to protect our troops.

    There is a reason Benghazi was so freaking vulnerable. Clinton knew our people in Benghazi were vulnerable and undermanned but she still she blew it off:

    8 Devastating Facts From The Benghazi Report
    1. The Clinton State Department knew full well that the Benghazi compound was undermanned.
    2. Requests for increased security at Benghazi were either ignored or outright refused by the department.
    3. The administration put the lives of Americans in the hands of incompetent and untrustworthy militia.
    4. The administration failed to respond in time, in part because of political concerns.
    5. Clinton et al overrode the order to send a rescue team because they mistakenly thought the attack was over.
    6. The administration’s claim that the attack was a result of the YouTube video was a complete fiction.
    7. The administration engaged in a “shameful” stonewalling attempt during the investigation.
    8. The administration blocked all attempts to investigate the alleged secret transfer of weapons to Libyan rebels.

    the republican congress refused to fund more security

    so they vote to cut funding, then attack dems for it, so republican of them

    "Libya attack: Congressmen casting blame voted to cut diplomatic security budget"

    Clinton lost 6 BILLION dollars of the Sec State money. I am sure that would have more than covered the cost of security for Benghazi or she could have pulled her people before the attack. She failed on both accounts.

    He was an ally to the US when he visited the Obama. Thats just a fact. Claiming he wasn’t is the lie

    Should the US have taken him out ? I don’t know, but I’m NOT hammering on Trump for that. To be clear here, I trust our military and our leaders to do whats right for the United States and if they took this guy out, they had a reason, and I support that.

    I’m not jumping on some “Trump is a criminal” bandwagon. I’m just rebutting the OP that Obama was a bad guy because he invited a “terrorist” to the whitehouse. Sorry, but its just a fact that this guy was an ally when he visited. Thats just not up for debate, so I’m debating the garbage in the OP

    Sorry if that was confused Sage

    Good lord, not this crap again.

    AGAIN........The records lost and “not accounted for” were from the Pentagon and The Department of Defense. And their was no money “not accounted for”, or “lost”, the FILES were missing or unaccounted for, mainly by the Pentagon and the DOD. And the $6 billion number was the total amount of all the contracts that had missing data, NOT how much money was missing.....but you knew that

    Wait, you mean the Pentegon and the DOD, the ones the right claims are untouchable and should have unlimited budgets misplaced something....SHAZAM.....”I know, lets blame Clinton”

    This year the OIG report says that their is $2.1 billion “missing” due to the same concerns.....I highly await your “Trump stole $2 billion dollar thread”
