Baghdad — Gen. Qassim Soleimani, the head of Iran’s elite Quds Force, was killed in an airstrike at Baghdad’s international airport Friday, Iraqi television and three Iraqi officials said.The strike also killed Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, the deputy commander of Iran-backed militias known as the Popular Mobilization Forces, or PMF, the officials said.Their deaths are a potential turning point in the Middle East and are expected to draw severe retaliation from Iran and the forces it backs in the Middle East against Israel and American interests.The PMF blamed the United States for an attack at Baghdad International Airport Friday.There was no immediate comment from the U.S. or Iran.

Fox news reports now that the DOD says that it was a targeted US strike done at the express direction of President Trump. Winning....

Ollie North reports that this guy is the head terrorist for Iran.
Pretty cool to wipe him out while he is meeting to plan some more terrorism.

The other big shot killed is one of the names that was recently proposed as Prime Minister of Iraq.

Couldn’t happen to a nastier guy. I bet there were no virgins awaiting his death.

I saw a FOX host say tonight that Israel, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan were all involved in coordinating this attack on John Kerry's friend who directed Iran's terror operations pretty much all over the world.
I am guessing Jordan and the Saudi's just let us use their airspace. Iran is an enemy to them too.

#12, one report said he was IDed by a ring he was wearing. I expect your estimate is close to correct.

#14, planning more terrorist attacks on US troops and the Embassy, no doubt.

PMF has many possibilities as an acronym but I won't be the one to spell it out. Let it suffice that the head of the snake has been removed and Donald Trump just gained a few more points in whatever method you want to use to rate him. Tehran will not be sleeping for a few days and I would imagine that Kim Jong Un is taking good notes.

Joy to the world, Suleimani is gone. In one clean swoop Donaldus Magnus shows where the Marxists an put their fake impeachment. This was huge and it is time for rejoicing today. If after three days the mourners do something , therir oil refineries refinies will go poof, and maybe also the heavy water reactor. Pax Americana based the right God, country and private property, will win every time while we have this great President. I pray everyday that the Deep State in D.C. does not JFK him.

"Iran’s elite Quds Force," I am tired of hearing these guys called elite. They have done nothing to prove to me that they are elite.

The dem's adversarial media keeps asking what's the plan when the President has made, ''the plan,'' totally clear!! ...Attack Americans and expect to be hit back, HARD!
Obama/Clinton(D) but enabled the source of terrorism but Pres. Trump disables terrorism!!! God bless Pres. Trump! He is faithful to his oath of office!
