President Trump ordered the assassination-by-drone of Iranian General (and terrorism maven) Qassem Soleimani at Baghdad’s airport. This is the equivalent of FDR ordering the assassination-by-P-38 of Japan’s Admiral Yamamoto during World War II. North Korea’s Kim Jong-un should take note, perhaps it explains why Kim rarely flies.
Opportunities like this don’t occur as often as we’d like. Although former President Obama ordered the assassination of al-Qaeda’s Osama bin Laden, understanding Iran is an enemy is one of several things Obama couldn’t grasp.
Complicating factors: Obama had as primary advisors fellow expat red diaper baby Valerie Jarrett who grew up in Iran, and SecState John Kerry, a long-time admirer of Iran who has a Iranian-American son-in-law.
