Who thinks Iran is going to replace the guy Trump killed with....

What was accomplished is that Iran now knows that when Americans are murdered and threatened by these Iranian terrorists, there will be consequences.
Obama is gone and when America is engaged, we will respond.
The only feeble, unpatriotic response by the left is, well, if we respond to these Iranians terrorists who are murdering our people, they will continue to...murder our people.

The same posters who have their cheerleader skirts on and cheering for this assassination are the exact same people who hollered that Iraq was an imminent threat, and if we did not invade we would be faced with the prospect of mushroom clouds.
I do not see any reason to believe anything right-wing posters and NeoCons claim about supposedly dire threats from from Iran.
Trump* said he did this to prevent a war. Silly. Iran is not a rational actor, they do not respond without escalation.
Trump* will not attack them unless he feel it will help his poll numbers, this attack did not help and he will not do it again. They are not dumb.

So, when Trump* failed to act for the last three years, what did you call that? I know, you praised Trump* for having prevented endless wars in the Middle East. You are such a kiss up.
Terror attacks against Americans by the state sponsor of terrorism...Iran:
”For almost four decades, Iran and its terrorist proxies have targeted American civilians and military personnel. From the 1983 bombing of the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut to more than a decade of attacks against U.S. military personnel in Iraq, Iran’s terrorist proxies have killed more Americans than any terrorist group other than al-Qaida. These attacks underscore Iran’s malign activities in the region and beyond. Congress and the administration must continue to confront Iran’s regional aggression and support for terrorism.”

HOSTAGES HELD AT U.S. EMBASSY IN IRAN
“A group of Iranian students backed by Islamic Revolutionary leader Ayatollah Khomeini took control of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, holding 52 U.S. diplomats and citizens hostage for 444 days.
SUICIDE BOMBINGS IN LEBANON
The Iranian-backed terrorist organization Hezbollah—founded, armed, trained and funded by Iran—conducted two suicide bombings in Lebanon: the April bombing of the U.S. Embassy in Beirut killed 17 Americans
and the October bombing of the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut killed
241 Americans.
MINE ATTACK IN THE PERSIAN GULF
Iran—in violation of international law—mined the Persian Gulf. In 1988, one such mine struck the U.S. Navy guided missile frigate USS Samuel B. Roberts, injuring 10 sailors and blowing a 15-foot hole in the vessel’s hull.
TRUCK BOMBING IN SAUDI ARABIA
Hezbollah terrorists—with Iranian backing and support—attacked U.S. military forces housed in the Khobar Towers in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, killing 19 Americans and wounding 372.
SUPPORT FOR 9/11 HIJACKERS
Iran knowingly permitted members of al-Qaida, including several of the 9/11 hijackers, to transit Iranian territory on their way to Afghanistan for training. In April 2018, a U.S. judge ordered Iran to pay $6 billion to the families of 9/11 victims for supporting the hijackers.
DEADLY IRANIAN INFLUENCE IN IRAQ
Iranian-backed Shiite militias in Iraq killed hundreds of U.S. service members and civilians. Iran provided training and material support for repeated attacks on U.S. personnel with conventional weapons and missiles, as well as sophisticated improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and explosively formed projectiles (EFPs).“

Kill him too!
Obama assassinated an UNARMED OBL in his family home
You have no credibility.
You undoubtedly thought invading Iraq was a great idea and invested considerable time hollering at other people that Iraq was an imminent threat to us - that the only possible course of action was to invade!
so you don't understand Soleimani was a charismatic figure with the ability to get disparate forces to work together?
His very presence was an attribute in itself -and cannot be duplicated ( any more the al-Baghdadi was for ISIS).
Plus he was a planner -not just for terrorism , but for Iranian hegemony in the region.
sure they are "rational actors" - they depend on religious fervor to stay in power but they are calculating
( like damn near any nation state) as to the moves they make
This is an interesting conclusion. If we actually are to believe that Iran is NOT a rational actor, why did Obama make a nuclear deal with them? That seems like a really bad idea.
Personally, I do believe they are a rational actor. I don't want us to go to war with Iran, but this assassination might have the effect of getting Iran to think twice about how they operate in Iraq.

Nobody. Next stupid question.

Every trumper is a N4T.
So then killing him was pointless and will serve no other purpose than to incite retaliation which may very well escalate into full scale war.
Something we seem to get with every Republican administration.
Thanks for admitting it.
cite what? you should read up on Soleimani -I've been aware of him since the Syrian Civil war started.
He started and headed the Iranian Quds Force responsible for extraterritorial military and clandestine operations.
So you have nothing to support your claim?
The replacement might be less competent.
What would be the U. S. rational response if another country removed our elected president and replaced him with their puppet?
