NYT: Trump’s Ground Game Against Iran

The world to which we wake up today, rid of its most accomplished and deadly terrorist, is a better place. 

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.

  1. Thank God for General Suleimani who defeated ISIS whom the US
    invented and armed. Good General's like Patton & Suleimani and a few Confederate General's are hard to find.

      Flying to Vietnam is the killer and I've been across the Pacific 20+ times but now it affects me badly.

    5. Seems 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! :)

    6. Good to hear. CA - Lord help us - what don't they have
      these days. Yes, the flu is becoming a real problem;

      In Asheville they've had two or three deaths.
