Lets think about how we got here and the implications of this reckless action. Qasam soleimani has the blood of thousands of americans on his hands and hundreds of thousands of innocent souls across the middle east. For more than 20 years he was the Supreme Leaders most trusted lieutenant, irans terror mastermind, the man responsible for the deaths of hundreds of american soldiers in iraq and afghanistan by supplying the most deadly kind of roadside bombs soldiers ever faced.
