He was the leader of a designated terrorist organization who was also banned under the UN for travel outside of Iran.

Again I see no purpose in your bolding of your response over others. Why?

The US Embassy in Baghdad is sovereign soil belonging to the United States of America.

The "protestors" were organized and incited by Soleimani,

Protestors attacking the Embassy yelled and wrote on the walls, "Soleimani is our leader".

Soleimani was in Baghdad during the time of the embassy "protests".

Any attack on the embassy of ANY foreign power is AN ACT OF WAR when the people involved are representing another country's government.  Soleimani was by anyone's estimation the number 2 leader and most revered military general in Iran.  He received A BILLION US DOLLARS EVERY MONTH from Iran to fund his militia-based terroristic activities.

This was not an "assassination."  Soleimani was a casualty of war.  "Death to America?"  Try "death to anyone who kills Americans."  Nothing else will stop these bullies.  Being unwilling to defend yourself merely emboldens these thugs.

Those "protesters" were protectors who were oppressed by US Imperialism. They need a Walmart. There would be no "protests" if you gave them all EBT cards, free education and free healthcare.

"The "protestors" were organized and incited by Soleimani,"

If it were possible, I would like to see proof of this.  Anyone who is upset with US imperialism could have orchestrated this attack.

No one here has access to this intel.  This was reported by the white house.  Could the WH be lying?  Of course, but would they knowing the fake news is looking for anything to get rid of Trump?

But then again, same intel says steel beams melt at 1500 degrees.

When the demonstrators — largely members of Iranian-backed militias angered by deadly American airstrikes over the weekend...

The full withdrawal came after leaders of the Iranian-backed militias who had organized the demonstration called on the crowd to leave, and most gradually drifted away on foot or drove off in trucks.

No one has yet to bring this up, but just as President Clinton has done in the past, conducting air strikes to whoever, seems to be a great way of diverting attention away from one's own political problems.

Of course, this is where you call the New York Times "Fake News" that's supporting the lies told by the Trump Administration.  We all know the NYT is 100% pro-Trump, right?

"Protestors attacking the Embassy yelled and wrote on the walls, "Soleimani is our leader"."

How does the US know those who were doing the yelling and authored the above were actual agents of Soleimani and not ISIS or Al-Qaeda hoping to frame Soleimani?

That's not an argument of fact, but a cheap deflection based on unsupported speculation on your part alone.



Soleimani was in Baghdad during the time of the embassy "protests".

How convenient for ISIS and Al-Qaeda if they knew this also.

See reply above



Any attack on the embassy of ANY foreign power is AN ACT OF WAR when the people involved are representing another country's government.

And Operation Ajax conducted by the US back in 1953 was not an ACT OF WAR against Iran?

Another response that has NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with the fact I stated.  Is this your attempt at "what-about-isms"?  Leave that to someone with experience -- like EEF.



He received A BILLION US DOLLARS EVERY MONTH from Iran to fund his militia-based terroristic activities.

SPECULATION.

Where did this information come from?  Was this published at the Iranian government website?

You call it "speculation", but you have no facts to refute it.  Read this for a small taste of where that money from Iran is going to support terrorist militias.  Iran is the king of proxy terrorism.  They have been called "the largest national sponsor of terrorism in the world" for decades.  Maybe you missed that in your amateur study of world history? 

Quote

Eizenkot further said that since 2012 Iran had also spent “billions” of dollars on Syria.
He said Iran currently had around 2,000 military advisers in Syria deployed alongside 10,000
foreign Shi’ite militiamen and 8,000 Hezbollah fighters.

Iran spends “hundreds of millions” of dollars more on allies in Iraq and Yemen, Eizenkot added.

This was not an "assassination."  Soleimani was a casualty of war.

Your opinion.

I and many others even in America disagree with that interpretation.

Wrong.  It's the educated opinions of many giving insight into what happened including Jeh Johnson, Obama's former Secretary of Homeland Security.  Soleimani was a legal and valid military target.  I've seen no facts to dispute this.  Only emotional anti-Trump rhetoric.


"Nothing else will stop these bullies." 

Your opinion again; I disagree.

Whether you liked the agreement or not, the Iranian Nuclear Deal that was internationally passed in 2015 was a step in the right direction to easing the tensions in that region.

Trump unilaterally pulled out of that deal and the rest is history.

Wrong.  It's the opinion of people who know a hell of a lot more about the situation than you OR I do.  The nuclear deal was a farce.  Even Kerry, who was peddling the deal to Congress admitted there are parts of it he was not allowed to know about.   

Who signs an agreement with a terrorist nation to stop their attempts to build a nuclear arsenal and doesn't know all the pieces?  Stupid Liberals who don't give a rat's ass about this country as much as they do the appearance of doing "something".

Waiting for the #IAmSoleimani movement....maybe t shirts, gathering on the mauna etc.

If it were possible, I would like to see proof of this.  Anyone who is upset with US imperialism could have orchestrated this attack.
You can ask the US govt. Not here on this forum though.

You can ask them...oh no you can't they are all in pieces.

because a theocratic country like Iran who still or tries to fly F14s (cue "Danger Zone" guitar riff) is so good at information sharing on the internet

We gave them billions of our money to appease them. I don't think we got our money's worth. They captured a US Navy patrol boat, terrorized the Strait of Hormuz and continuously called for the destruction of the USA. I want a refund.
