    How 'bout you? You good with killing a man who had taken so many American lives? One who trains and unleashes terrorists around the world?
    Or maybe you wanted him to live to plot more against America..........
    What a weird thing to imply. Why would I want him to plot more against America? Or is that just a talking point to people who think that the killing of Soleimani put more American lives at risk? Killing Soleimani put American lives at risk from direct military action from Iran the result of which was a miracle Americans weren't killed.

    We could have taken Soleimani out covertly or by proxy but we decided to do it openly on the world stage. Why?

    There was no miracle. 11 of the 16 missiles were new versions that can hit within 10 meters of target.

    The day of the killing I said we should have done it covertly.

    And our troops had sheltered in bunkers. We've had this discussion before. You can defer to your opinion and I will defer to the Joint Chief of Staff. I tend to think my deference has a tad bit more credibility but to each their own.

    I never disagreed with you nor offered a contrary opinion to yours with covert action but thanks for reminding me that we agree.

    They could have hit those bunkers if they wanted. Prior to the attacks the Iranians claims to have eyes on target. Whether the bunkers would have survived or not, I don't know. But they could have hit them had they targeted them.

    But according to the Pentagon they weren't going for the bunkers. They were going for the aircraft, infrastructure and barracks. They hit those targets. Just because American troops weren't there doesn't mean they weren't going for them. Perhaps our early warning systems and the fact that the Iranians informed the Iraqis (they kinda had to given they attacked their country) may have led to the saving of American lives doesn't mean that the Iranians weren't targeting American lives.

    Look, Iran launched those attacks hoping to kill and injure Americans. This isn't rocket science.

    He was planning to kill as many Americans as he could. Should we have let him go ahead and kill our troops?
    If not, just how do you propose to resolve that issue?
    Or maybe we should let him keep attacking strictly civilian targets?
    He was a f**king terrorist, one of the head nuts. We let BinLaden wander loose until he upped his game. You almost sound like you empathize with a known terrorist.

    Do you really think whoever replaces Soleimani is not going to do the exact same thing?

    To try and end the debate and declare victory by saying I want Americans to die is pretty disgusting man. Are you this base in real life or only when you can hide behind anonymity on an internet forum?

    Hmmm...

    The Pentagon says 11 U.S. service members were injured in Iran's ballistic missile attack on U.S. assets in Iraq last week.

    and yet you whine about how Trump got him. If it had been your gal Hillary, you'd be dancing in the streets and burning Iranian flags.
    IF someone replaces hmi that is just as bad or even worse, we simply take him out if they show their real colors by attacking American targets.
    Nope, your just mad because Hillary or Obama didn't do it.
    But let's delve into how Obama oversaw the Bin Laden killing? Lots of folks danced when he was killed. And he was the LEADER of a religious nation.
