Trump reacts to airstrike: Soleimani ‘should have been taken out many years ago!’ by stableford
President Trump on Friday said the killing of Iran’s top general, carried out by a U.S. drone strike in Baghdad the day before, was long overdue.
In an interview in 2015, then-candidate Donald Trump didn’t appear to know who Soleimani was, and confused the military arm he led, the Quds Force, with the Kurds, an ethnic group in the region. The initial Pentagon statement on the strike said it “was aimed at deterring future Iranian attack plans.” In an interview on CNN Friday morning, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo gave a more urgent explanation, saying the attack headed off an “imminent threat to American lives.” He gave no details. Pompeo said “the world is a much safer place” with Soleimani gone.But the State Department issued a warning urging Americans to “depart Iraq immediately.
Story continues“I was briefed about the potential operation when I was down in Florida,” Graham, who chairs on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said on “Fox & Friends.”
