He is smartest! Knows what Americans like to hear - just like the hero of wild west. He will win another session as president.This proves beyond all doubt that Trump is the best of the best! There is simply no comparison.
When they said bin Laden killed, I was eagerly waiting. Let's see his face as all of us clearly can recognized his face like the back of our hands. What! Cannot see! Already encast in concrete! What an anticlimax! bin Laden was dead long before as Benazir Bhutto said.They can get Qassem Soleimani with a drone and a missle strike but cannot get ISIS leader Baghdadi and Osama Bin Laden for years and years?
You people stupid or what?

Thousands of mourners flooded the streets of Baghdad Saturday and called for revenge against the US after Iranian military leader Maj. Gen. Qassem Soleimani was killed in a drone strike early Friday morning.
Chants of “Death to America, death to Israel” and “We will take our revenge!” emanated from the crowd, according to The Associated Press. Other mourners chanted “America is the Great Satan” as they made their way through Baghdad’s streets.
Soleimani, who led the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps Quds Force (IRGC-QF), was killed alongside several Iranian-backed Iraqi militia leaders in a convoy at Baghdad’s International Airport Friday.
The strike, authorized by President Donald Trump, escalated tensions between Iran and the United States after an already tense week in which Iranian-backed militia members stormed the US Embassy in Baghdad in response to a US airstrike on Iran-backed fighters based in Syria and Iraq that killed 25.
That airstrike was, in turn, retaliation for the death of an American contractor in Iraq, who was killed in a rocket strike in Kirkuk, Iraq, that also wounded four US troops — US officials blamed the attack on Kataib Hezbollah, the Iranian-backed militia in Iraq. The leader of Kataib Hezbollah, Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, was also killed in the Friday morning drone strike.
The funeral processions for Soleimani and al-Muhandis began in Kadhimuyah, a neighborhood in Baghdad, and drew large crowds of Iraqi mourners. Banners of Iranian-backed paramilitary groups in Iraq were waved in the crowds, and officials from both Iraq and Iran were spotted amongst the mourners.
In the wake of the strike that killed Soleimani, Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei called for three days of mourning before seeking retaliation, saying “a forceful revenge awaits the criminals who have his blood and the blood of the other martyrs last night on their hands.”
What that response will look like is unclear. Experts have argued it could take the form of cyberattacks, attacks on US military positions and diplomatic outposts in the Middle East, or — as the New York Times’s Rukmini Callimachi has reported — attempted kidnappings and executions of US citizens in the most extreme case. Suzanne Maloney, deputy director of foreign policy at the Brookings Institution, told Vox’s Dylan Scott she believes Iran “will look for the time and place of its own choosing in terms of a response,” and that it is likely the country’s leaders will use the assassination of Soleimani to shore up support at home before trying to strike back at the US.
As a precaution, however, the Department of Homeland Security has warned federal and local officials to work to secure their computer systems, and the US has urged all citizens to make their way out of Iraq after closing its embassy in Baghdad.
Soleimani’s death reflects the complex nature of Iran’s relationship with Iraq
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo assured Americans that Soleimani’s death would be celebrated in Iraq — and even Iran — tweeting out a video Thursday that Pompeo claimed showed Iraqis celebrating in the streets after he was killed. But the Saturday morning funeral processions speak to a much more complex situation on the ground, one that illustrates both Soleimani’s far-reaching power in the region and the complex political relationship between Iran and Iraq.
For instance, while the funeral was a stark show of support for the deceased military leader and his country, Iraq’s recent national protest movement has brought considerable anti-Iranian sentiment into the open.
There are many who celebrated his death too.
In Iraq and elsewhere.
It's nothing like those traitor "Iranians" (Aye-ranians? Pooorsians?) who like to kiss their ang moh masters' behinds so that they can continue to live in and leech off Ang Moh welfare would like to portray.
Real Iranians are more honourable and don't act like leeches. Not leeching off welfare
