    You are a little confused. We all know that there a bunch of incompetence and corruption in federal government. What I said is that it is inappropriate to call someone a liar if they are providing information provided by others. Incidentally it doesn't help to post videos in response to me. I have metered internet and don't watch internet videos.

    I have a better idea, why not disprove what Craig Murray stated by giving us actual references, I mean that's what I would do, then we can applaud your superior insight, rather than discarding it.

    I wonder why America was dropping missiles in the desert?

    So, what is the context to this? To buy out the Iranian nuclear program or what?

    No, to continue the funding of terrorism. If anyone honestly believes that Iran was limiting their nuclear capabilities than you probably also believe Uber drivers make $100k a year.

    I don't like Obama - but no, to say that America willingly funds Iranian terrorism is simply not on.
    That's Flat Earth Conspiracy stuff.

    These people believe anything they are told don't they ? - CRAP thrown around by Liars, Cheats, &
    T
    hieves, is snapped up like fine fare, & bits of rotten flesh by hungry Vermin. The monies returned
    to Iran were assets equivalent to those that where frozen by American sanction policies.

    A
    ssets were returned to the Legal owners of those assets when the "Iran Nuclear Deal" -
    ................................................. "The Joint Comprehensive Plan Of Action" was signed.


    Iran stuck to the letter of that agreement and would have continued to do so. However now that the USA
    has taken to assassinating its Leaders, its continued compliance seems doubtful... All of Iran's remaining
    Leaders must now realize that they are have the mark of a Target upon them.. A Target set to the whim
    ........................................................of some STUPID fat storefront POTUS who dances to the tune set for him.


    Now Iran may very well go a head and develop Nuclear Weapons. What in HELL have they got
    to loose ? US Intelligence Agencies have repeatedly warned that if Iran ever decided to develop
    Nuclear Weapons, they could do nothing to stop them, short of full extended Invasion and a complete
    ...................................................................................................................................... and lasting Occupation.


    A
    nd do you think Russia and China can sit back and allow that to happen ? And if Iran continues
    to experience the existential threats of Nuclear annihilation from these Lawless Criminals as they
    have in the past - They will be left with no option but to develop such weapons. Iran, Russia and
    China will now be driven closer together. And you can - EXPECT them to help in Iran's defense,
    if such a case arises. And such a circumstance now stands a good chance of doing just that .


    We will see how many American lives have been saved by TRUMPS Outrageously Criminal Act,
    as he claims, when young Americans begin returning home from the Middle East in Bags.

    Israel knows - It will take only 5 or 6 of such to turn that Zionist Entity into an irradiated sewer.

    THIS HAS LITTLE CHANCE OF ENDING WELL FOR ANYBODY
    ( especially for cute little Poohbears caught on the WRONG side of things ) :)

    Trump, Pence, and Pompeo -- along with pretty much the entire American political and media culture on both sides of the isle -- lie constantly about Iran, not just General Soleimani. While those closest to Israel, and with the most strident pro Israel positions, have made lying a habit which they want to insist on others, the issue is even more endemic to the American political culture. Those lies aren't as much a concern to me anymore (as some of it will simply be exposed by the force of events) but they should be a concern to Americans who don't want a government corrupted by liars. One which insists that liars be promoted and those who want to tell the truth sidelined. That dynamic, and what it entails, is the greatest corruption in American politics. Even more corrupting than the strictly economic issues many in the left are focused on.

    The flaw in the nuclear agreement reached with Iran was that at some future point
    Iran could continue with its nuclear weapons program. That was Israel's main sticking
    point.
    The issue for Russia and China SHOULD BE that if Iran gets the bomb then so too
    does its Sunni enemies in the Middle East. That is the end of the nuclear non-proliferation
    treaty. Same for allowing North Korea to develop the bomb also means that Japan, Taiwan,
    Sth Korea etc break out of the treaty too. And these nations are enemies to Russia and
    China.

    It's the big picture here.

    As for "assassinating" - that's a tricky word as Iran has been fighting wars against its
    neighbors for some time. This guy was the number one General for these proxy wars
    in Yemen, Saudi Arabia, the gulf, Lebanon, Syria and Israel. This can hardly be called
    a peace-time "assassination," more like a casualty of the wars he loved fighting.

    The main guy tasked with defending Iran's national security meets with top Iraqi military officials on his way to meet with the Iraqi PM to start deescalation talks with Saudi Arabia instigated by the US. As he leaves the airport he, along with the Iraqi officers he met up with, is assassinated. Yes, it's the same.

    Individuals hold wealth in America, which the envious is trying to steal by using emotional blackmail to justify pointing the government’s gun at their better’s head. Their demand? Your money or your life.

    Hatred of the good, envy, and tribalism are not the path to peace and prosperity, it’s the path to deprivation, depravity, destitution, and despair.

    So, long before the Trump admin, was the UN lying about your fearless leader? How many years was he on the UN terrorist sanction list?

    I didn't say the US and company don't have the diplomatic muscle to put someone who is fighting their attempts to impose hegemony on the region on a 'no-fly' list.

    He was commander of the Qud force which appears to be involved in a number of jihadist groups and have been involved with spreading violence around the world. A organization declared to be a terrorist organization and attempted a terror attack in the US to to kill the Saudi Ambassador.

    I know, one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. :rolleyes:

    He was involved with groups fighting for the axis of resistance. He was fighting many of the jihadist groups you have in mind. Whatever you like to believe, those in the region (and not just the Shia, but also many Sunnis and certainly many Christians and Kurds) are mourning his death as well. He was the one who saved many of them from ISIS.

    No, it is not the same. The hardest thing to understand is that he wasn't dead during the Clinton, Bush or Obama administrations.
    Here is another version of your story:
    • Qassem Soleimani was on a not-so-secret trip to Iraq to meet with politicians and military allies when the US assassinated him in Baghdad last week.
    • We now know his trip likely had a secret component: coordinating an intensifying campaign of rocket strikes to maim and kill some of the 5,000 American troops based there.
    • In Iraq, Soleimani had recently taken on a larger political role. He met with Iraqi political figures to secure support for the country's embattled prime minister, Adel Abdul Mahdi, whom he planned to meet on the day he was killed.
    • One of the leaders also killed in the drone strike was the commander of the militia that Soleimani had ordered to coordinate the rocket attacks on Americans at Iraqi bases.

    Not this time--hopefully. The soldiers who die will be of all colors this time. A draft would be good. Everyone gets to fight and maybe die in this war including the LBGT crowd, antifa thugs, the idiot college kids, the diversity lovers, the all inclusive open border crowds, screaming feminists, all 'minorities', Illegals should have to go too. It will be interesting to see how they all get along in the trenches.

    Patriotism doesn't automatically include cheerleading for war.

    You made the claims, and thus the burden of proof is on you.
    I accept your concessions in advance.

    The Iranian nuclear agreement wasnt perfect, but it DID buy time to come up with a better solution.
