All Floridaman, all the way, all the time
Soleimani was one man, not nearly as powerful as Floridaman.
Just one of those tough choices that Presidents have to make, isn't it?
Glad I don't
The last two presidents had the same opportunity and decided the cost was not worth it.
We'll see what the costs are and if Floridaman's administration can deal with the effects of what he has done.

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?

Is that true? They had him in their sights, but declined to act?

Or Israel, he could have been taken out at any time over the last 20 years. Why now?

spence, my senator chris
murphy sentmout a tweet after the contractor was killed and the atta k on the embassy, saying that trump
allowed the US to be impotent in the region, and that we couldn't let Iran get away with this.

Today, the same guy sent a tweet calling Trump an irresponsible, neocon warhawk who was needlessly instigating iran.

those tweets were sent by a US senator who i know you love, only a few days apart. it’s impossible to take you people
seriously when you act like that.

I have no knowledge that we had a good chance to kill him previously. obama
killed bin laden, so we know he doesn’t faint at the thought. If we had the chance, i don’t k ow why we didn’t take it. I do know that i don’t like letting people help
kill and maim a huge number of
americans.
