Still the military had targeted soleimani for over a decade.
Even W and Dick Chaney thought the risks outweighed the benefits, and they hardly ever didn't like a military strike.

I'm going to go with what I usually say about W. The guys around him were evil, but they were very smart.

For me killing that guy wasn’t worth the risk to innocent life . If we are going to go around killing everyone we have been mad at for years then we are going to have endless wars forever . We need to get over shit and move on at some point .

Unfortunately, war is an intricate part of humanity. The people in Iran seem sick of it.
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/iran-faces-fresh-protests-after-admitting-it-shot-down-plane-n1114221
Iranian police on Monday denied they had fired at crowds demonstrating after the government reversed course and admitted it shot down a passenger plane.
Videos posted online Sunday showed protesters shouting anti-government slogans and moving through subway stations and sidewalks, many near Azadi, or Freedom, Square after an earlier call for people to demonstrate there. Other videos suggested similar protests were taking place in other Iranian cities.
Hossein Rahimi, head of the Tehran police, denied his forces had shot at demonstrators after video emerged online appearing to show the aftermath of a woman being shot.
"At protests, police absolutely did not shoot because the capital's police officers have been given orders to show restraint," he said in a statement carried by the state broadcaster's website.
Riot police had massed outside Tehran University and at squares and landmarks across the capital as calls circulated for demonstrations.
Protesters first gathered Saturday, angrily demanding the country’s supreme leader step down after the government admitted it had unintentionally shot down a Ukrainian passenger plane on Wednesday, killing all 176 people aboard.

I see a problem with Trump acting on this--he didn't go crawling on hands and news to pelosi and schumer to get permission to kill a terrosi

It’s now being reported that Trump approved the killing of Soleimani months ago, completely blowing the imminent (or as trump spells it - eminent) threat excuse out of the water.
Trump needs to be called to testify in front of the relevant committed under oath and explain.
It’s pretty clear that they are desperately lying because they broke the law

They have been lying out of desperation since his Inauguration Day . He literally started his presidency trying to lie about the weather . That’s why we should have impeached him right away . Makes no sense to wait until he’s lying to us about war stuff to get rid of him .

I doubt any of us will be lucky enough to ever see Trump testify under oath, and if we did it would make for some hilarious reality tv. With each investigation Trump says he's thinking about testifying. Lawyers are extremely hesitant to put their clients on the stand and he would be one of the last people on earth a defense attorney would ever want to see up there. With his bizarre inflated ego issues, he would hang himself.

Absolutely. If his lips are moving there's a fair chance he's lying. However Iran shooting that plane down is a HUGE own goal. Trump's a lucky bastard.

I don’t know. They were interviewing students who said they hate trump and their own leaders and hold them both responsible for the Ukraine airliner crash

Yes but he's been dealt a lucky hand I think, imagine if that plane wasn't shot down or even worse shot down by a U.S. missile.

Also, I can't understand why commercial aircraft were still allowed to fly, it's nuts... unless someone was rolling the dice for catastrophe.

If you want to impeach every US President that lies, we wouldn't ever have a President in Office.
Obama lied all the time as well, where is your equal outrage?
