The Iraqi Prime Minister claims Soleimani wasn’t going to launch the “Big Attack,” but instead was on a peace mission. Having followed Soleimani’s reign of terror for the past ten years, we don’t see that as believable — at all.
The far-left NY Times leaked selected portions of the intelligence briefings about the Soleimani termination. The leaks side with Iran. It will embolden the extremists in the terror nation and is nothing more than Iranian propaganda.
According to the ANONYMOUS sources:
Two alleged sources — who claim to have had intel briefings about the strike that killed Terror-General Soleimani — leaked selected portions of the briefings to the extreme left New York Times. The information comes via an MSNBC/NBC correspondent, Rukmini Callimahi, who claims the evidence for the strike was “razor-thin.”
Keep in mind that they just arranged an attack on our embassy and Soleimani was brazenly strolling around the Baghdad airport.
We should add that these sources could be the people in charge of shredding documents. What are they officials of???
Rukmini writes on Twitter:
The evidence, the sources claim, comes from three facts. The first is a pattern of travel showing Soleimani was in Syria, Lebanon, and Iraq to meet with Shia proxies known to take the offensive against the U.S. The source claims it was merely “business as usual.”
To interject here, business, as usual, is doing things like planting IEDs, funding proxies to kill U.S. military, and firebombing our embassy, killing an American contractor and wounding soldiers.
Rukmini continues with the second:
The second was” information indicating Soleimani sought the Supreme Leader’s approval for an operation. He was told to come to Tehran for consultation and further guidance, suggesting the operation was a big deal.” The Times correspondent says, “that could be anything.”
What the Times report leaves out is the information about the “Big Attack.” These sources are definitely holding key information back.
And the third:
The third was Iran’s “increasingly bellicose position towards American interests in Iraq, including the attack that killed a U.S. contractor and the recent protest outside the American embassy.”
Iran has been escalating, and they are working on their nuclear and plutonium programs.
One source said:
According to Rukmini — “it is hardly evidence of an imminent attack on American interests that could kill hundreds, as the White House has since claimed. The official describes the reading of the intelligence as an illogical leap.”
The correspondent continued:
One official described the planning for the strike as chaotic. The official says that following the attack on an Iraqi base which killed an American contractor circa Dec. 27, Trump was presented a menu of options for how to retaliate. Killing Suleimani was the “far out option.”
They are partisans, probably Obama holdovers, who would say it was “chaotic” no matter what. As far as ‘far-out,’ this operation was flawless and was obviously well-thought-out.
According to Callimachi, the President chose a more moderate approach until the embassy attack. She added, “According to the official, the strike on Suleimani was pulled together so quickly that initially, the US was not sure PMF leader Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis was in the convoy. He was also killed and is also viewed as an Iranian proxy.”
The administration was afraid Soleimani’s forces would kidnap. and execute American citizens or attack American diplomatic and military outposts not just in Iraq, Lebanon, and Syria, and as far afield as UAE and Bahrain. The source is concerned for American troops stationed in Iraq, some of whom are co-located with Shia militias.
The source is concerned for our troops now, but not because Soleimani’s forces set our embassy on fire???
THE HACK SUGGESTS THE PRESIDENT KILLED SOLEIMANI AS A DISTRACTION
In conclusion, the NY Times’ hack suggested that Trump targeted Soleimani to distract from impeachment. That is disgusting and absurd. It’s the line anti-American Ilhan Omar keeps repeating. Callimachi wrote, “Before I go back to the pool, let me just say the obvious: No one’s trying to downplay Soleimani’s crimes [but she is]. The question is, why now? His whereabouts have been known before. His resume of killing-by-proxy is not a secret. Hard to decouple his killing from the impeachment saga.”
So she admits he’s a criminal and he always wants to kill-by-proxy. Okay, then.
RICK GRENELL RESPONDS
Ambassador to Germany, Richard Grenell, tweeted that the report is filled with assumptions, which it is. In fact, if you read the Twitter thread, it sounds like the sources do not have first-hand knowledge and might have after-the-fact information.
Iran is also saying now that they won’t follow any of the terms of the 2015 nuke deal, but they weren’t anyway. Ben Rhodes is spreading Iran’s propaganda. He also implies the cash they received from Obama was used for good when even John Kerry admitted some of it would be used for terrorism.
The only thing the nuke deal did was allow Iran to get the bomb but to do it a bit more gradually.
This thread is filled with massive (and erroneous) assumptions. This reporter has a clear agenda. She should be labeled an opinion columnist. It’s important to know who/what you are reading….. https://t.co/GvC9reSQPz

And to imply that Iran was acting normally after your cash deal also defies the facts. Soleimani led attacks in Iraq, Syria and the region. We are safer without him. Diplomats are alive because POTUS acted.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was on the Sunday morning shows and Sunday Morning Futures. One thing he did say is “endless wars are the direct result of weakness.” Judging from all the wars Barack Obama was involved in, that could be true.
Here are his comments to Maria Bartiromo:

NYT—-isn’t that a defunct early 20th Century democrat-nationalism group
Gosh, I hope you’re wrong but if not………I’m ok with it……….! Better Jew friendly than raghead friendly……..
Jew hatred is strong with this one. It just irks some to no end that a President is “Jew Friendly”. Adam probably has the same animosity against Trump for being also “Black Friendly”.
This is FO********ing crazy who are these people trying to lie and who’s side are they on? So frustrating and insulting when the purpose is to destroy and stop terrorism
I’d sooner trust Alfred E. Neuman and Mad before I got news from NYT or CNN or MSNBC or WaPo…the list of fakes goes on…
Amen.
Since mid 2016 it was quite obvious that the ENTIRE Main Sewer Stream Fake Media had sold out for the proverbial “thirty pieces of (Petro$) silver”…nuff said!!!
Probably a fake Leak like shifty shifts fake Ukrainian call transcription. I mean just about everything else they report is fake in someway or another.
These NYT, CNN, etal. who LEAK information is EXACTLY why, this action by our President, needed to be KEPT from those, who would rather see Americans continue to be killed and ALSO the many Iranians that Gen. Soleimani has killed. The Iranian people have danced in the streets after this Terrorist was killed, and “THANKED POTUS TRUMP”…Too bad, the idiots in America who use Anything and Everything Against ONLY Trump, do NOT stand up for OUT REPUBLIC, but would rather say NOTHING about the Evil in Iran, that Under Obama, who placated them, and Bush as well, gave them the Green Light AND pallets of Gold/Money to CONTINUE their agenda to make Nuclear Weapons- knowing they’d do what they pleased, EVEN as they chanted:
“DEATH TO AMERICA”
Like the Pee Pee dosier, this sounds like info made up in a bar by drunks. Democrats just make up anything they want and call it anonymous sources, but it’s all lies. Dems are not patriots nor family people because their hatred is too strong. I wouldn’t lose any sleep over democrats here getting droned. They hate this country and are trying to destroy it.
I wonder why President Trump did not involve the Communist/Democrats on the plans to neutralize General Salami. Could it be that America haters Obama and Kerry would be on their cell phones within seconds calling the New York Times and the Tehran Terrorist Daily to inform them on the details of the strike.Naaaaa. I must not be so skeptical of those who hate America. I need to remember that they were once humans with a conscience
lie detectors should be used frequently and randomly with any and all WH staff and anyone in the intel committee in congress. these leaks need to stop. they are endangering our country and although I “use” to believe in freedom of the press. it has become overwhelmingly obvious they have no qualms about endangering the welfare of American citizens and our national security.
The media and the Democrat party are siding with our enemies to attack us so that they can rule us along with them.
I find it rather coincidental shortly after the briefing to Congress that THIS comes out from the NY Times. There isn’t any indication from their reporting that the leaks came from “Administration” sources. A person should carefully examine the precise wording the article uses. The news media are no different than politicians when it concerns the ‘parsing of words’. It’s very easy with the written word to convey something that isn’t because the writer will understand how and what assumptions will arise as a result. Even the use of “senior officials” can, itself, be very misleading. If a reporter were to use “senior official close to the President” Then you can assume a “leak” from within the Administration. Otherwise it is likely gossip. In this case I seriously doubt it came from the actual White House OR the Executive Office Building.
