More than any other American military operation since the invasion of Iraq, the assassination yesterday of Maj. Gen. Qassim Suleimani, the head of Iran’s Qods Force of its Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, is a seismic event. The killings of Osama bin Laden and Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leaders of al-Qaeda and the Islamic State, were certainly meaningful, but they were also largely symbolic, because their organizations had been mostly destroyed. Taking out the architect of the Islamic Republic’s decades-long active campaign of violence against the United States and its allies, especially Israel, represents a tectonic shift in Middle Eastern politics.

Thanks and listening now.

ReplyDeleteThank you but I don't remember what I said/when/where?

DeleteFlying to Vietnam is the killer and I've been across the Pacific 20+ times but now it affects me badly.
Thanks and I didn't go after-all but to Mexico instead. Wished I had pushed ahead regardless. :( Thanks for asking. (No comparison between the two)
DeleteA-Okay. Thanks. Was afearing the flu.
DeleteSeems like there is more flu and colds in CA than in NC. When I had my Laryngectomy in 1995, the doctor said I would seldom have colds and I have had none since then and the flu but once. The bright side of things! :)
DeleteGood to hear. CA - Lord help us - what don't they have
Deletethese days. Yes, the flu is becoming a real problem;
each yr. is worse than the last, so they say.
In Asheville they've had two or three deaths.
