    I did not like Cheney/Bush sending thousands of Americans to their deaths - in an illegal invasion based on lies and false narratives. Apparently you did .. and you are welcome to your opinion .. but quit projecting your feelings onto others ! :)

    Any fool can throw insults - but, do you have an argument - and you clearly don't.

    You are the traitor - not just to the nation - but to logic reason and morality - and at the end of the day .. yourself :)

    Where did I argue that? I told you, I have no side. I could care less if you bozos blow each other up.

    Heh, someone who could care less wouldn't even be posting in this thread, let alone posting things like Soleimani had a higher probability of being on the side of the angels probably does have a side. I'm not sure why you wouldn't just admit that. This is a discussion board after all.

    Hey, I have to give credit to where it’s due, whether that be Trump, Iran- whatever. When you want to see Reality as it is, you can’t possibly take any sides, as both sides are of the very same coin.

    George W Bush called. He wants his foreign policy back.

    We invaded Iraq - and Iran is less of a terrorist country than the USA and El Saud - so what is your point ?

    That is just a statement of fact - not a defense for Iran's actions. As said to you previously - your position is one of abject hypocrisy - one you are desperately trying to weasel out of :)

    You must not know what terrorism is.

    I thought it was Al Qaeda ISIS - do you not believe that these groups are terrorists ?

    The thing is, when you say you are seeing "reality" what you are really saying is that's your side. So I see reality but you don't. See how easy that is?

    No, because I’m not passing any judgment that which is based on any preconceived notions. Reality is as it is.

    As I've pointed out to you, you have passed judgement. See your post #626.

    I was speaking in probabilities, in respect to only ONE individual!

    Oh me too! Soleimani was, best guess, only 97% murderous terrorist. On the plus side, he loved his pets and was a vegetarian. He loved posting funny memes.

    Then let me ask you, how exactly did you factor in the “terrorist” aspect (because that’s being judgmental). Blowing up American soldiers does not count.

    How about organizing attacks on an embassy?

    Iran supports terrorism against the US. Of course they will protect their own interests against the crazy ISIS.

    Where did you pull the 97% number out of - you have no clue about Soleimani - other than what you hear from the pundits on CNN.

    If I am wrong - do tell us his history -and back those claims up somehow - and give context .. relative to a similar analysis of our people.

    My guess is that you pulled out of your backside - on the basis of state sponsored propaganda.

    Name one terrorist incident by Iran - or Shia groups on the US homeland. Zero that I know of.

    Fighting on the other side of a war is not terrorism ... unless we call ourselves terrorists... but if you want to compare the war crimes of this General (Soleimani) to the war crimes of a similar General in the US - you will be on the losing end of a bad argument.

    You seem blissfully unaware of US history - and lack objectivity.

    Attacking US bases in Iraq and killing Americans. You seem to think that is OK Iran to kill in other countries.

    When you make claims like the above - you need to support those claims with the evidence .. so that context can be assessed.

    You think it is fine for the US to kill in other countries so why bother saying this. "You seem to think that is OK Iran to kill in other countries"

    It is completely fine for Iran to kill in other nations - depending on what is happening. Over the last decade Soleimani spent most of his time killing Al Qaeda/ISIS in Syria - do you have a problem with that ?

    Are you upset that Iran was killing our radical Islamist proxy army in Syria ?

    In any case - The Iraq Parliament just voted to get rid of US bases in Iraq - Trump has threatened Sanctions .. hey .. perhaps we can go to war with both Iraq and Iran at the same time ... do it all over again except this time much bigger and spend 12 Trillion dollars instead of only 6 Trillion ..

    Spend all this money because you are scared that big bad Iran is coming after us ... Al Qaeda is now our ally - so don't have to worry about them but Iran .. that's worth sacrificing our economic future over..

    or is it just that you don't care about our economic future.

    That would entirely depend on the context. America did launch air strikes that killed fifteen people some days before the embassy attack- individuals who were responsible for fighting ISIS.

    We were invited. Iran wasn’t.
