The State Department issued a statement upon the death of General Soleimani. “We can confirm that in the past several days, General Soleimani had been traveling in the Middle East coordinating further imminent large-scale attacks against U.S. diplomats and service members. These threats were highly credible, and the intelligence is sound.”
It was to be known as the BIG ATTACK.
Walid Phares was on Fox Business with host Lou Dobbs and Fred Fleitz, President and CEO of the Center for Security Policy last night to discuss it.
Phares praised this action against Soleimani. The President took out Iranian aggression and terror without waging war, he explained. “People are talking about war. What war? This is not happening,” he said. “These are counter-terrorism operations.” He did the right thing, he concluded.
The Democrats are angry they weren’t told beforehand, but it’s obvious why, as Mr. Fleitz says — it would have leaked.
Mr. Fleitz explained that “Congress, Democrats have politicized national security to such a point that the President could not trust them with information that would put lives at risk.” The President did the right thing, he stated.
Lou Dobbs said, why would anyone think that these people — trying to unseat him — should have any details in advance?
Walid agreed with Fred’s assessment and mentioned Fred’s been inside the government and “knows these things.”
The Unthinkable Corruption
Dobbs asked both guests if the Pelosi et al reactions are tied to preserving Obama’s legacy over the safety of the American people.
Fleitz said there is some truth to that but it’s really about Democrats refusing to accept the legitimacy of the election.
The corruption of the Democrat Party is unthinkable, Dobbs noted.
Walid agreed and added almost as an afterthought that he doesn’t understand why the opposition is sticking to that Iran deal that no one wants.

Absolutely right about leaks in Washington.
An operation such as against Soleimani requires absolute secrecy. Even then, it’s very chancy. I’m amazed they were able to get a clear opportunity to carry it out.
This is the absolute best way to carry out counter-terrorism.
It’s better to carry out operations against the planners and directors rather than low level operatives.
They are the people who are responsible.
It reminds me of the operation against Japanese Admiral Isoroku Yamomoto, commander in chief of the combined Japanese fleet who was blamed for the Pearl Harbor attack.
The admiral’s itinerary was picked up on a radio intercept and deciphered by US Navy cryptographers. One of the cryptographers was a future Supreme Court Justice, John Paul Stevens, according to internet sources (Operation Vengeance according to Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia)
Admiral Yamomoto was killed in 1943 in Bougainville, when his transport bomber was shot down by Army P38 Lightning fighters after a 600 mile “wave hop” flight with no altitude greater than 50 feet, to avoid detection, the bombers were intercepted as they were getting ready to land at a Japanese airfield, 18 aircraft in all, with four in the “killer flight” and the rest for top cover for expected opposition.
The mission was a success, Admiral Yamomoto shot down, and likely it substantially contributed to ending the war.
The success of such missions depends on absolute secrecy and incredible intelligence resources, with knowledge of whereabouts of a person down to the minute, which likely can only be used once.
Time to put a foot or fist into every traitorous big mouthed “Democrat”.
