THE IMMINENT ATTACKS
Senator Lindsey Graham, who chairs the Judiciary and sits on the Foreign Relations Committee, was on Fox & Friends this morning to say the U.S. killed the most powerful man in Iran short of the Ayatollah.
Graham was briefed by the President last night.
This targeting of Soleimani was to stop “attacks yet to come.” The “intelligence” was very strong. The General was “orchestrating” attacks in the region. The U.S. attack was a “defensive attack” and the it was “preemptive,” aimed at preventing more attacks. Soleimani is dead today, not because of past attacks, but because he miscalculated what the President would do about “future attacks.”
The attacks they were planning were real and the President saved hundreds of American lives and our allies, Graham said. They “were about to unleash holy hell on the region.”
No one wants it to go bad and Iranians need to know what comes next, Graham said. He believes their economic engine is next — their oil refineries.
THE PRESIDENT’S RESPONSE — SOLEIMANI “GOT CAUGHT”
President Trump tweeted an image of an American flag late Thursday after reports came out that an airstrike had killed a top Iranian general in Iraq.
The Pentagon later said that Trump directed the strike against Soleimani, calling it a “decisive defensive action to protect U.S. personnel abroad.”

Before 8 a.m. this morning, in a knock to the former administration, the President tweeted, “Iran never won a war, but never lost a negotiation.” He was referencing the appalling Nuclear Deal which allowed Iran to get the bomb over the course of a decade while the U.S. and other nations poured money into their coffers.
Iran never won a war, but never lost a negotiation!

Then he tweeted that Solemani “got caught.”
….of PROTESTERS killed in Iran itself. While Iran will never be able to properly admit it, Soleimani was both hated and feared within the country. They are not nearly as saddened as the leaders will let the outside world believe. He should have been taken out many years ago!

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo explained that there was an imminent attack about to take place. He couldn’t go into detail at this time, but added this was a defensive strike.
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo says the airstrike ordered to kill top Iranian commander Qasem Soleimani “saved American lives.” Pompeo said earlier this morning the decision to eliminate Soleimani was in response to “imminent threats to American lives.” https://t.co/S9VYrZNDv9 pic.twitter.com/RL2eEQfGfq

Our deep state intelligence is worthless, as is the self serving loudmouth Graham.
If this keeps up, DJT is not going to do well with the “Terrorist Vote”.
Russia’s President Vladimir Putin has thanked US counterpart Donald Trump for intelligence that helped foil “acts of terrorism”, for a plot to attack St Petersburg over the new year period, on Russian soil, according to a Kremlin statement.
Mr Putin and Mr Trump spoke on the phone on Sunday, it said.
This shows the huge divide between the appeasing Democrats and peace through strength of the Republicans led by Trump.
