Justified response, IMO, to a completely reckless incursion by Iran into Iraq. Specifically, you should not be able to attack a US embassy without consequences.

Leader of the Iranian Quds, plus, Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, leader of the PMF (the group that attacked the embassy IIRC).

Bonus. And yes, very justified.

If they do anything else, we should take out their Navy like Reagan did. Bombs, not soldiers please.

We have a handful of Iranians that work in my engineering firm. Some really interesting discussion to be a fly on the wall for. I'm not gonna lie, I had no idea who this dude was before he got blown up.

My cousin in law is from Iran, and he just returned recently from visiting his family (his mom passed). All the Iranians who have been protesting hate this guy. He's been responsible for crushing many student and other protests. He once even threatened a coup if the Iranian gov didn't put down a protest. He's been a barrier to Iran becoming more of citizen to world for a long time. That's all on top of him being the mastermind behind Iran's foreign terror campaigns.

She should renounce her citizenship to the United States and move to Iran. Would LOVE to see how that went.

When I lay down and fall asleep tonight, I won't be worried one ounce about Iran's "response."

Probably the most exposure her has-been career has gotten ever.

When I lay down and fall asleep tonight, I won't be worried one ounce about Iran's "response."

I used to be a little concerned before 911, then 911 happened. I'm no longer concerned... Especially about Iran. I do not want to send troops, or rebuild, but I'd be fine with surgical strikes taking out their navy and oil fields. And I wouldn't miss a minutes sleep over that.

She should renounce her citizenship to the United States and move to Iran. Would LOVE to see how that went.

Spoiled Hollywooder..... I'd love to see her spend a week there..... She'd probably join a protest not knowing what it was, they realize the same forces she's mourning for are the ones putting down the protests.....

Iran blows up passenger plane. Democrats blame Trump for their shitty military.

Amazes me how some are oblivious to what's going on, but have no problem posting their opinion without any facts.

I missed this thread, just saw this too. The comments are absolute gold, 99% just roasting her. What a dumbass! "We don't know how to escape." So many people offering to fly her to Iran to "save her" lol. At the very least she would be mutilated over there for wearing outfits like the one in her profile.

They just follow the MSM script of what to say...

She probably wouldn't care for the good old fashion stoning that would be in store for her.
I'd definitely pitch in for a plane ticket. Surprised someone didn't start a go fund me... I'd personally pay for Omar...

US Special Ops tried -- but failed -- to kill another top Iranian commander on night of Soleimani's death, official says
Greg NormanBy Greg Norman, Jennifer Griffin | Fox News


U.S. Special Operations forces unsuccessfully tried to kill another top member of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards’ elite Quds Force on the night Gen. Qassem Soleimani was taken out by a drone strike, a senior U.S. official has confirmed to Fox News.

The covert mission in Yemen, which was first reported Friday by The Washington Post, was directed at Abdul Reza Shahla’i, a commander and financier whom the State Department says was at the center of the botched 2011 plot to assassinate a Saudi ambassador on U.S. soil.

As disgusting and flat out wrong the majority of the MSM is, I question their influence on people ages 18-40. I'm 34 and few people I know have cable. Even fewer have it to watch cable news.

It's pretty scary. I typically have FNN on for 30 in the AM, and flip to CNN and MSNBC for 10 each. A little in the evening as well, and might tune into CBS or another network. It's hilarious the narratives they spin. It's no longer reporting. Opinion and narrative are king.. As bad as FNN is, the rest are shameless.

It was so obvious they shot down the plane. I'm real interested to see how these countries respond. Now they want to detain the UK Ambassador? Trying to deflect responsibility?

They may think they're smart, but it sure appears the think with their emotions.
