Well the problem is that no Democrat will be publicly supportive (or neutral) even if it is proven to be the correct decision. On top of that, the media will be far from neutral commentators on the incident

Why was the decision taken to kill this man?

I don't know but if I were to guess I'd say he was very much involved in the recent fracas at the embassy. I also read but can't confirm a report that they had intelligence he was going to launch an attack at the airport. (At this stage, I believe absolutely nothing the administration, the President, the Democrats, the Republicans or the media have to say about anything)

IMO, America are one of the worst purveyors of terrorism this planet has seen. 

You're clearly neither an Iranian woman nor gay man.

So this is about womens and gay rights? Do us a favour mate.....

The Democrats and the media are "the problem" here?

No, I saw that, but your first reaction/contribution, no matter what the issue, always seems to be to deflect blame or claim that the bigger problem or scandal is the Democrats and the media.

Eh....no.   The Republicans and Fox News would act in a similar manner had Obama/Clinton done something similar. And they actually did-with Benghazi/Kosovo

Libya and Kosovo were UN-backed operations.  Trump had the backing of no-one to kill Iranian and Iraqi officials in Iraq.

No, it's about "purveyors of terrorism". And the Iranian regime is up there with the worst of them, with their own people at the receiving end of most of it.

No, it's terrorism we're talking about. But keep deflecting.

Thank you for backing up the point I was making

Whether it's justified/UN backed or not the "other side" will always attempt to use these incidents for political advantage.

Cos Iraq can invite who they like to their country? The Iranian and Iraqi governments are now allies as both Shia controlled.  All thanks to Bush who overthrew the Sunni Iraqi secular government which had created a balance or sorts in the region.

I was more talking about you personally.

If Obama had assassinated an Iranian general, my first thought would not be that the GOP and right wing media exploiting it/misrepresenting it for political gain would be "the problem".

Anyway, partisan bullshit aside, one would hope that Trump and the Pentagon have thought this through.
