pamelagellerreport--2020-01-08--But but but Obama’s ‘Amazing’ ‘Iran Deal’ Outlawed the Missiles the Ayatollah Are Using

More perfidy from the worst president in US history .
The more we know , the worse he is .
Wait .
Didn ’ t Obama ’ s ‘ Amazing ’ Shrink-Wrapped ‘ Iran Deal ’ Outlaw the Missiles the Ayatollah Used ?
That ’ s an excellent question , one that many people may be asking right about now .
Word on the tweet is that the Ayatollah Khameini is going all LBJ and picking targets at U.S. positions in Iraq in 2020 with his missiles .
We ’ re told the Supreme Leader is commanding the targeting of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Iran Leader personally overseeing IRGC missile launch against US bases in Iraq pic.twitter.com/kmcSo7gASo > But it turns out that photo is from 2014 .
It ’ s fake news that the Supreme Leader is targeting those missiles .
But people are asking if Obama ’ s vaunted Iran deal foreclosed using those ballistic missiles at all .
In fact , the Obama administration ’ s Iran deal , the JCPOA – worst acronym ever – did not cover ballistic missiles .
It referred to nuclear weapons .
In other words , the deal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ likely to use , but didn ’ t cover the ones he could readily use .
In fact , the Washington Post ’ s , ahem , ‘ ” fact-checkers ” once upbraided Republican Senator Johnny Isakson for being wrong about Iran being allowed to use ballistic missiles .
The WaPo sniffed , “ The formal name for the deal reached in July between Iran and world powers , including the United States , is the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action ( JCPOA ) , commonly called the Iran deal .
The nuclear @ @ @ @ @ @ @ after the International Atomic Energy Agency ( IAEA ) certified that Iran had complied with all the nuclear-related measures it agreed to in July .
Yet Iran has continued to test ballistic missiles and said it will not stop.
” They gave the senator three out of four Pinocchios because , by using ballistic weapons , Iran only broke United Nations Resolution 2231 : After the deal was reached , the United Nations Security Council — which had imposed sanctions on Iran to pressure it to negotiate — adopted Resolution 2231 .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ under which sanctions are to be lifted .
Under the resolution , ballistic missile restrictions expire after eight years .
So , Iran is under UN sanctions forbidding its use of ballistic missiles , according to the Post .
But there ’ s wiggle room : …the U.N. resolution does contain restrictions relating to ballistic missiles .
So how is Iran able to continue its testing ?
Experts say the resolution ’ s language allows Iran to argue that its ballistic missiles do not fit within the restrictions laid out in Resolution 2231 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Obama ’ s deal to end all deals does not include these ballistic missiles .
Security Studies Group president and former Army Special Operator Jim Hanson told Laura Ingraham on Fox News Tuesday night that these particular missiles “ suck .
They don ’ t know where they ’ re going to land .
They [ Iran ] took the least likely path to kill Americans .
But they did it because it sounds like they ’ re tough guys .
”

More perfidy from the worst president in US history. The more we know, the worse he is.
Wait. Didn’t Obama’s ‘Amazing’ Shrink-Wrapped ‘Iran Deal’ Outlaw the Missiles the Ayatollah Used?

The tragedy came just hours after Tehran fired at least 15 ballistic missiles at two US bases in Iraq , sparking fears it could have been shot down by mistake by jittery Iranian air defences.
Iran blamed “technical problems” for the deadly fireball, and have locked down the crash site and refused to release the black boxes to international authorities.
But aviation experts have now suggested a “shootdown” was the most likely explanation for the disaster.
The OPS group, an aviation risk monitoring group, said: “We would recommend the starting assumption to be that this was a shootdown event, similar to MH17 – until there is clear evidence to the contrary.”
They highlighted pictures of the crash site which they said “show obvious projectile holes in the fuselage and a wing section”.
Aviation expert Julian Bray told Sun Online: “This is catastrophic and not the type of crash that comes from an engine failing. There would have been nothing that anyone could do.
“It is very unusual, you would expect to see some wreckage but all we can see here is debris.”
But he added that it was too early to say for sure what caused the crash, with other experts agreeing.
THE LATEST
Ukraine has now dropped its initial “engine failure” reference after it is revealed pilots did not make any kind of mayday call from the 2016-built plane.
Ukraine banned flights through Iranian airspace in response.
Ukraine President has instructed prosecutors to open criminal proceedings on the crash.
Iran has refused to give the plane’s black boxes to Boeing, but says both have been found.
Iran’s civil aviation authority is investigating.
BLACK BOX
The plane’s black box flight recorders have since been found, with one Iranian official saying they were damaged but their data could still be retrieved.
However, Iran is refusing to hand them over to international authorities, Reuters reports.
Iranian media said the Boeing 737 came down after “technical problems” and quoted an aviation chief who said no emergency had been declared.
Qassem Biniaz, a spokesman for Iran’s Road and Transportation authority, claimed one of its engines caught fire, causing the pilot to lose control.
But the aircraft was new in 2016 and was last checked just two days ago, the Ukrainian foreign ministry said.
BALL OF FLAMES
And jet engine maker CFM slammed claims the crash was caused by engine failure, saying it was too early to speculate on what was behind the tragedy.
Ukraine’s Tehran embassy initially blamed engine failure but later removed the statement, saying it could not officially comment on the cause until after a probe.
It also abruptly removed a line from its statement excluding a terrorist attack or missile strike.
Horrifying footage posted online shows the plane engulfed in flames as it went down.
The single-aisle, twin-engine jetliner had 167 passengers and nine crew members on board.
Among them were 63 Canadians, 10 Swedes, three Germans and three Brits, Ukraine’s foreign minister Vadym Prystaiko confirmed.
There were also 82 Iranians, 11 Ukrainians and four Afghans aboard, he added.

‘SHOT DOWN’ FEARS
The crash came just hours after Iran launched at least 15 missiles at two US bases housing American and British troops in Erbil and Al Asad.
And it happened hours after a 4.9-magnitude earthquake struck near to an Iranian nuclear site.
It is feared the plane may have been shot down by nervous Iranian defences in the aftermath of the missile attacks.
The strikes were codenamed Operation Martyr Soleimani – in retaliation for the killing of Iranian General Qasem Soleimani in a US air raid last week.
The plane crash comes just days after Iranian President Hassan Rouhani appeared to hint he was threatening another Lockerbie bombing.
And it bears chilling similarities to the 2014 downing of a Malaysia Airlines plane by Russian-backed separatists over Ukraine, after it was mistaken for an incoming missile.
The US Navy also killed 290 people in a similar incident after mistakenly shooting down an Iranian passenger jet in 1988.
A number of airlines have now suspended flights over Iranian and Iraqi airspace.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy today said he has instructed prosecutors to open criminal proceedings, and the plane’s black box flight recorders have reportedly been found.
But according to reports Iranian officials were refusing to hand it over to international authorities.
Flight data shows the plane reached an altitude of 2.4 km and then suddenly disappeared.
The three-year-old plane stopped sending data almost immediately after it took off, according to website FlightRadar24.
Rescuers rushed to the scene of the crash but could not get near the site because of the intensity of the flames.
Images show flaming wreckage strewn across the ground in the immediate aftermath of the crash.
And other harrowing pictures show victims being lined up in body bags at the scene and their possessions collected in a field nearby.

Iran has blamed technical failure and an engine fire for a plane crash which killed 177 people near Tehran today, but is refusing to hand over the recovered black boxes to Boeing or the US.
The Boeing 737 jet came down just minutes after take-off from Imam Khomeini International Airport early this morning, hours after Iran launched missile strikes on US bases in Iraq in revenge for Qassem Solemani’s death.
Three Britons and 63 Canadians were among the 168 passengers and nine crew on board the Ukrainian International Airlines flight to Kyiv. There were no survivors.
Iran is blaming ‘technical difficulties’ and says the pilot lost control after a fire struck one of the plane’s engines, but said the crew had not reported an emergency and is refusing to say what will happen to the black boxes.
Video footage appeared to show the plane already burning in the night sky before it crashed, while pictures at the crash site showed the fuselage peppered with holes.
The Ukrainian embassy in Tehran initially stated that the crash had been caused by an engine failure rather than terrorism or a missile attack, but later rescinded that claim.
The Boeing plane was less than four years old and had been checked just two days earlier, with ‘one of our best crews’ manning the aircraft, a Ukrainian airline official said.
The disaster deals a further blow to Boeing which was thrown into crisis by two plane crashes in October 2018 and March 2019 which killed a combined 346 people.
French jet engine manufacturer CFM said any speculation about a technical failure was ‘premature’.
The crash sparked fresh alarm in the already tense Middle East and a series of airlines have announced they will stop flying over Iranian airspace.
The Ukrainian foreign ministry revealed there were 82 Iranians, 63 Canadians and three Britons on flight PS752, along with 11 Ukrainians, 10 Swedes, four Afghans and four Germans.
The three British victims were later named as businessman Mohammad Reza Kadkhoda-Zadeh, 40, and engineers Saeed Tahmasebi Khademsadi, 35, and Sam Zokaei, 42.
Canada is home to a large Iranian diaspora community and UIA offers discount flights between Tehran and Toronto, with a transit in Kiev.

Fox News longtimer Geraldo Rivera was scheduled to appear on Sean Hannity‘s program Tuesday night.
But Geraldo got the axe.
And it appears he got himself canceled in just two tweets.
Daily Caller, January 8, 2020
The familiar Fox News personality was enthused about counseling Sean Hannity on war with Iran. Last week, President Donald Trump authorized the U.S. to take out Iranian leader Qasem Soleimani, a general the president has described as a “monster.” On Tuesday night, reports emerged that Iran had retaliated with missiles shot at two Iraqi bases housing U.S. forces.
There was talk that Trump may deliver an address to the nation.
But it was all premature chatter — the White House ultimately opted against it
Perhaps it was this sentiment at 6:53 p.m. that was the death knell in Geraldo’s “Hannity” news hit Tuesday night.
The Daily Beast‘s Editor-at-Large Molly Jong-Fast, who is anti-Trump, advised, “You need to go on @seanhannity, otherwise he won’t hear it.”
Oh really?
At 7:18 p.m. Geraldo assured her that he’d be appearing on Hannity’s 9 p.m. show.
“Thx I’ll be on with @seanhannity tonight counseling restraint & talking about these deeply disturbing developments.@elevrivera.”
Yeah, sure you will Geraldo!
By 7:38 p.m. it was all over.
“Never mind Hannity just canceled me,” Geraldo felt the need to report to his 332,000 followers.
The newsman made the best of being rejected. As #NowTrumper Sen. Lindsay Graham (R-S.C.) appeared on Hannity, Geraldo pushed for prayer and restraint on Twitter.
Fox News’s opinion journalists have been sharply divided over military intervention in Iraq, with Hannity supporting Trump’s decisions and Tucker Carlson seriously questioning Trump’s reasoning for killing Soleimani. Carlson’s anti-war views in the Middle East are not new, but somehow observers have amnesia about it.
“It’s hard to remember now, but as recently as last week, most people didn’t consider Iran an imminent threat,” Carlson said on his program Monday. He needled Trump’s Secretary of State Mike Pompeo for sourcing intelligence agencies as the reason Iran was perceived as a threat.
“Seems like about 20 minutes ago, we were denouncing these people as the ‘deep state’ and pledging never to trust them again without verification,” Carlson said. “Now, for some reason, we do trust them — implicitly and completely.”
Hannity, meanwhile, has been trumpeting the president’s bold move toward making the world a safer place with the general’s demise.
Hannity’s show should have received a preview on Geraldo’s stance Tuesday morning when the mustachioed journalist appeared on “Fox & Friends.”
“Don’t for a minute start cheering this on,” he told the morning hosts.
Without a Hannity appearance, Geraldo tried to persevere on social media Tuesday night.
“Everyone-regardless of party or political philosophy-should join in praying for our GI’s in harm’s way in Iraq and for their worried families waiting anxiously for their safe return,” he tweeted.
He urged Trump not to make the situation worse.
“Take apparent absence of US casualties as important intentional gesture by Iran,” he continued. “@realDonaldTrump recognize this as step in right direction. They could’ve targeted barracks etc. Seize initiative to counsel further restraint. No escalation. Don’t make mistakes you once criticized.”
Geraldo, who was infamously punched in the nose on his daytime talk show in the late 80s during a show about “Teen Hatemongers,” closed the night with a plea for peace.
“Iranian Foreign Minister #JavadZarif just tweeted that it’s over as far as they’re concerned,” he wrote. “As far as we know, there are no dead Americans from tonight’s attacks. @realDonaldTrump seize this opportunity for peace. Declare victory. Shut it down.”
It’s not “Hannity.” But hey, it’s something.
Jake Lahut, a reporter who covers New Hampshire politics for the Keene Sentinel, remarked, “Every guest on Hannity’s show is treating their time like it’s a presidential briefing.”
Geraldo got that memo.
He just wasn’t on board with Hannity’s point of view.

RICHARD LITTLEJOHN : Ignore the red flags of revenge over Iran… now is the time to keep calm and carry on By Richard Littlejohn for the Daily Mail , 7 January 2020 As news broke that Iran ’ s top general had been fast-tracked through departures at Baghdad Airport by an American drone strike , the heart sank .
Not that the vaporisation of a bloodthirsty Islamist psychopath responsible for the murder of thousands of innocent people should be anything other than a cause for celebration .
It ’ s just @ @ @ @ @ @ @ follow .
And I ’ m not talking about the ritual sabre-rattling , wailing and gnashing of teeth from Tehran .
No , it ’ s the tedious , knee-jerk condemnation from Iran ’ s useful idiots here in Britain that is so depressing .
As news broke that Iran ’ s top general ( pictured ) had been fast-tracked through departures at Baghdad Airport by an American drone strike , the heart sank Naturally , O.J .
Corbyn was first out of the blocks with one of his boilerplate anti-American diatribes .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ the streets five minutes later with the usual suspects from the Stop The War rabble .
Of course he did .
McDonnell and Corbyn have never met an enemy of Britain they didn ’ t like .
Frankly , who cares what either of Labour ’ s losers thinks about anything any more ?
They ’ re history , but they just don ’ t know when to leave the stage .
Given five minutes ’ notice of the drone strike , I could have told you precisely how it would be received @ @ @ @ @ @ @ trying to start World War III , violating international law and deliberately escalating tensions in the Middle East .
Meanwhile , TV coverage would concentrate on the grieving rent-a-mobs vowing retaliation .
How many times have we seen assorted Iranian ‘ lawmakers ’ chanting ‘ Death to America ’ over the past 40 years ?
Naturally , O.J .
Corbyn ( left ) was first out of the blocks with one of his boilerplate anti-American diatribes .
And his terrorist-loving sidekick McDonnell ( right ) took to the streets five minutes later with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ War rabble One of the funniest things on Sky News yesterday was the detailed analysis of the crowd at the funeral march in Tehran .
We were told we should especially look out for red flags among the sea of flags being raised .
Never mind the black-and-white banners , these were the Shia ‘ Red Flags of Revenge ’ .
The fact that they had been unfurled meant Iran now had to strike back .
As if they weren ’ t going to , anyway .
Iran doesn ’ t so much @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at least four decades , Tehran has been pursuing an unrelenting campaign of terror , particularly against American targets , much of it orchestrated by Qassem Soleimani until that American missile finally caught up with him on Friday .
Yet after paying lip-service to the fact that Soleimani wasn ’ t exactly Iran ’ s answer to the saintly Mother Teresa of Calcutta , a conga-line of ‘ experts ’ was wheeled out to explain why killing him was a threat to world peace .
Donald Trump ( pictured ) would be accused @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , violating international law and deliberately escalating tensions in the Middle East Somehow , though , Iran ’ s regional expansionism , sponsorship of terrorist organisations and responsibility for countless murders as far afield as Indonesia and Buenos Aires keeps getting put on the back-burner .
The narrative is always about American aggression , just as Israel is always blamed for ‘ perpetuating the cycle of violence ’ every time it reacts — proportionately — to thousands of rockets being fired at its civilian population by Iran ’ s proxy terror groups in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Iraq ’ s sovereignty by taking out Soleimani in Baghdad .
But what was the Iranian-inspired attack on the U.S. embassy in Baghdad last week if not a violation of sovereignty ?
And what the hell was Soleimani doing there in Iraq in the first place ?
Trump is already being warned that destroying ‘ cultural sites ’ in Iran will amount to a war crime .
Why flatten an ancient mosque , rather than a nuclear enrichment plant or a terrorist training camp ?
This kind of nonsense is right up there @ @ @ @ @ @ @ War about the dangers of violating ‘ holy cities ’ and disturbing the sanctity of ‘ Friday prayers ’ .
Soleimani ’ s body was returned to Iran on Sunday .
People are seen carrying his casket upon arrival at Ahvaz International Airport in Tehran .
The casket was greeted by chants of ‘ Death to America ’ as Iran issued new threats of retaliation Turned out just about every city , town or hamlet in the Middle East qualifies as ‘ holy ’ .
I can remembering wondering at the time why @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ‘ holy cities ’ or talk about Christians taking part in ‘ Sunday prayers ’ .
It ’ s just another manifestation of the cultural cringe which promotes all other faiths and beliefs above our own .
We are also told the President ’ s recklessness will drag Britain into war with Iran , as if the mad mullahs don ’ t hate us enough already .
In the aftermath of the Iraq invasion , nearly 200 British troops were killed by roadside bombs and munitions supplied by Iran .
And how many @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Navy hostages in the Shatt-al-Arab waterway in 2007 ?
They were paraded on Iranian TV in a deliberate attempt to humiliate Britain .
Coincidentally , we have just learned of the death of special forces hero Tom MacDonald , who took part in the SAS operation to rescue hostages taken by Islamist terrorists loyal to Ayatollah Khomeini during the Iranian Embassy siege in London in 1980 .
That ’ s a poignant reminder of just how long Iran has been exporting terror beyond its borders .
RELATED ARTICLES We face years on the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Johnson warns Donald Trump NOT to bomb Iran ’ s heritage… It came after an Iranian mob invaded the U.S. Embassy in Tehran , holding more than 50 hostages for 444 days .
More recently , Iranian-backed jihadis attacked the U.S Embassy in Benghazi , killing the ambassador .
But the abject failure of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton to punish Iran for the Benghazi atrocity only emboldened the bloodthirsty Iranian regime still further .
Obama even tried to appease the Iranians with billions of dollars for a non-proliferation deal Tehran never had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s fair to say , though , that if Obama had ordered a drone attack on Soleimani , he ’ d have been hailed as a hero , striking an historic and measured blow for peace and stability .
Most of the antagonism levelled at America ’ s action in taking out Soleimani has been motivated by pure , visceral hatred of Trump , both here and in the U.S.
He ’ s been monstered for not telling the British government in advance of the attack .
So much for the so-called special @ @ @ @ @ @ @ leaking last year of our former Washington Ambassador Kim Darroch ’ s confidential cables containing withering criticism of the President , who can blame him for not trusting the usual diplomatic channels ?
For all we know , Trump called Boris at his holiday hideaway on Mustique .
They do have telephones in the Caribbean .
As regular readers are aware , this column doesn ’ t do honeymoon periods .
But I won ’ t join in the criticism of Boris for not cutting his holiday short .
For a start , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and eventual triumphs of the past few months .
Anyway , what was he supposed to do ?
My fear was that Boris would channel his inner Churchill complex and turn up in a siren suit and a homburg , puffing on a large cigar and pushing toy tanks round a sandpit in the Cabinet war rooms .
After all , Blair , Brown , Call Me Dave and even Mrs May would have been unable to resist such an opportunity for grandstanding .
Yet Boris , wisely , stuck to his sun-lounger @ @ @ @ @ @ @ monitored events from the pool side , while trusting his ministers , aides and generals back in London to do their jobs .
Never mind how much point-scoring politicians and TV producers desperate to fill their rolling news schedules might protest .
This was grown-up government .
Boris has given his full support to Trump , and reassured the Europeans , while refusing to over-react and maintaining a commendable spirit of independence .
Nobody really knows what is going to happen next .
My best guess is that Trump will have seriously rattled @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can no longer attack U.S. targets with impunity .
Yes , there will probably be some kind of retaliation met by further retribution from the U.S , but it ’ s not the beginning of World War III .

Donald Trump would be accused of trying to start World War III, violating international law and deliberately escalating tensions in the Middle East. Meanwhile, TV coverage would concentrate on the grieving rent-a-mobs vowing retaliation. How many times have we seen assorted Iranian ‘lawmakers’ chanting ‘Death to America’ over the past 40 years?
Naturally, O.J. Corbyn (left) was first out of the blocks with one of his boilerplate anti-American diatribes. And his terrorist-loving sidekick McDonnell (right) took to the streets five minutes later with the usual suspects from the Stop The War rabble
One of the funniest things on Sky News yesterday was the detailed analysis of the crowd at the funeral march in Tehran. We were told we should especially look out for red flags among the sea of flags being raised. Never mind the black-and-white banners, these were the Shia ‘Red Flags of Revenge’.
Aaargh! Beware the Red Flags of Revenge!
The fact that they had been unfurled meant Iran now had to strike back. As if they weren’t going to, anyway.
Iran doesn’t so much strike back as strike first. For at least four decades, Tehran has been pursuing an unrelenting campaign of terror, particularly against American targets, much of it orchestrated by Qassem Soleimani until that American missile finally caught up with him on Friday.
Yet after paying lip-service to the fact that Soleimani wasn’t exactly Iran’s answer to the saintly Mother Teresa of Calcutta, a conga-line of ‘experts’ was wheeled out to explain why killing him was a threat to world peace.

Somehow, though, Iran’s regional expansionism, sponsorship of terrorist organisations and responsibility for countless murders as far afield as Indonesia and Buenos Aires keeps getting put on the back-burner.
The narrative is always about American aggression, just as Israel is always blamed for ‘perpetuating the cycle of violence’ every time it reacts — proportionately — to thousands of rockets being fired at its civilian population by Iran’s proxy terror groups in Palestine.
Trump is accused of violating Iraq’s sovereignty by taking out Soleimani in Baghdad. But what was the Iranian-inspired attack on the U.S. embassy in Baghdad last week if not a violation of sovereignty? And what the hell was Soleimani doing there in Iraq in the first place?
Trump is already being warned that destroying ‘cultural sites’ in Iran will amount to a war crime. Why flatten an ancient mosque, rather than a nuclear enrichment plant or a terrorist training camp?
This kind of nonsense is right up there with the constant warnings during the Iraq War about the dangers of violating ‘holy cities’ and disturbing the sanctity of ‘Friday prayers’.
Soleimani’s body was returned to Iran on Sunday. People are seen carrying his casket upon arrival at Ahvaz International Airport in Tehran. The casket was greeted by chants of ‘Death to America’ as Iran issued new threats of retaliation
Turned out just about every city, town or hamlet in the Middle East qualifies as ‘holy’.
I can remembering wondering at the time why we never describe Canterbury or Winchester as ‘holy cities’ or talk about Christians taking part in ‘Sunday prayers’. It’s just another manifestation of the cultural cringe which promotes all other faiths and beliefs above our own.
We are also told the President’s recklessness will drag Britain into war with Iran, as if the mad mullahs don’t hate us enough already. In the aftermath of the Iraq invasion, nearly 200 British troops were killed by roadside bombs and munitions supplied by Iran.
And how many people now remember the taking of Royal Navy hostages in the Shatt-al-Arab waterway in 2007? They were paraded on Iranian TV in a deliberate attempt to humiliate Britain.
Coincidentally, we have just learned of the death of special forces hero Tom MacDonald, who took part in the SAS operation to rescue hostages taken by Islamist terrorists loyal to Ayatollah Khomeini during the Iranian Embassy siege in London in 1980. That’s a poignant reminder of just how long Iran has been exporting terror beyond its borders.

Boris Johnson warns Donald Trump NOT to bomb Iran’s heritage…

It came after an Iranian mob invaded the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, holding more than 50 hostages for 444 days. More recently, Iranian-backed jihadis attacked the U.S Embassy in Benghazi, killing the ambassador.
But the abject failure of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton to punish Iran for the Benghazi atrocity only emboldened the bloodthirsty Iranian regime still further. Obama even tried to appease the Iranians with billions of dollars for a non-proliferation deal Tehran never had any intention of honouring.
It’s fair to say, though, that if Obama had ordered a drone attack on Soleimani, he’d have been hailed as a hero, striking an historic and measured blow for peace and stability.
Most of the antagonism levelled at America’s action in taking out Soleimani has been motivated by pure, visceral hatred of Trump, both here and in the U.S. He’s been monstered for not telling the British government in advance of the attack. So much for the so-called special relationship, eh?
Yet given the leaking last year of our former Washington Ambassador Kim Darroch’s confidential cables containing withering criticism of the President, who can blame him for not trusting the usual diplomatic channels?
For all we know, Trump called Boris at his holiday hideaway on Mustique. They do have telephones in the Caribbean.
As regular readers are aware, this column doesn’t do honeymoon periods. But I won’t join in the criticism of Boris for not cutting his holiday short.
For a start, he deserved a break after the travails and eventual triumphs of the past few months.
Anyway, what was he supposed to do? My fear was that Boris would channel his inner Churchill complex and turn up in a siren suit and a homburg, puffing on a large cigar and pushing toy tanks round a sandpit in the Cabinet war rooms.
After all, Blair, Brown, Call Me Dave and even Mrs May would have been unable to resist such an opportunity for grandstanding.
Yet Boris, wisely, stuck to his sun-lounger, poured himself another rum punch and monitored events from the pool side, while trusting his ministers, aides and generals back in London to do their jobs.
Never mind how much point-scoring politicians and TV producers desperate to fill their rolling news schedules might protest. This was grown-up government.
Boris has given his full support to Trump, and reassured the Europeans, while refusing to over-react and maintaining a commendable spirit of independence.
Nobody really knows what is going to happen next. My best guess is that Trump will have seriously rattled Tehran. The mullahs now know they can no longer attack U.S. targets with impunity.
Yes, there will probably be some kind of retaliation met by further retribution from the U.S, but it’s not the beginning of World War III. And even if it is, Boris has made a decent start worthy of his hero.
Keep Calm and Carry On

Just disgusting .
But @ IlhanMN laughs at our fallen heroes but cries for the ISIS recruits in her district and begs clemency for them .
# BacktheBan from jihad nations .
WATCH : Ilhan Omar Laughs While Colleague Talks About U.S .
Casualties In Iraq Far-left Rep. Ilhan Omar ( D-MN ) laughed and giggled during a press conference on Wednesday while her colleague , Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee ( D-TX ) , discussed U.S. casualties from the Iraq war .
“ I ’ m very glad to say that I was part of the 132 and also the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but I think that the point of that is that that is the same war that we ’ re dealing with today , ” Lee said .
“ We never solved any problems with AUMF , we left four thousand plus , maybe even forty four hundred dead , and over sixty thousand who came back injured in some form and the war never ended.
” As Lee spoke , Omar could be seen standing behind her laughing while talking to her Democrat colleagues .
“ I recall the language in AUMF @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , ” Lee continued .
“ It doesn ’ t deal with an incident or a dislike or someone in a car coming in from the airport .
That is the danger of not acting and I do think with our leadership , meaning the leadership CPC , that will come together around specific answers.
” At a different point in the press conference , Omar said that talking about the possibility of war with Iran was causing her to be “ stricken with PTSD.
” “ I feel ill a little bit @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and I think every time I hear of conversations around war I find myself being stricken with PTSD , ” Omar said .
Omar later attacked President Donald Trump for imposing additional sanctions against Iran after they fired multiple missiles at U.S. forces stationed in Iraq on Tuesday night .
“ This makes no sense .
Sanctions are economic warfare , ” Omar tweeted .
“ They have already caused medical shortages and countless deaths in Iran .
You can not claim to want deescalation and then announce new sanctions with no clear @ @ @ @ @ @ @ response !
” Omar , who is a documented anti-Semite , is an avid supporter of the anti-Semitic Boycott , Divestment , and Sanctions ( BDS ) movement against Israel , which is designed to destroy Israel .
Omar regurgitated her comments during the press conference about not wanting to sanction Iran , saying , “ Since he got into office , the president of the United States has been angering Iran into war , first he canceled our best shot at avoiding armed conflict : the Iran nuclear deal .
Then he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people of Iran .
The Jerusalem Post reported this week stopantisemitism.org “ announced that Omar would be awarded the title of biggest antisemite of the year on Monday , including a video listing her achievements in the field of Jew-hatred , accompanied sarcastically by congratulatory music and confetti.
” The video highlighted just some of Omar ’ s anti-Semitism : • She accused American Jews of having dual loyalties • She ranted about the influence Jews allegedly buy with their money • She accused Israel of “ hypnotizing the world.

Trump Reveals Attack That Soleimani Was Planning That Led To Drone Strike
By Ryan Saavedra, DailyWire.com:
WASHINGTON, DC – JANUARY 8 : President Donald J. Trump address to the nation from the Grand Foyer at the White House on Wednesday, Jan 08, 2020 in Washington, DC. President Trump said no Americans were killed or wounded when Iranian forces launched more than a dozen ballistic missiles against two military bases in Iraq early Wednesday local time, marking the most significant Iranian attack in a growing conflict with the United States.
President Donald Trump revealed during a press conference on Thursday some details surrounding his decision to kill Iranian terrorist Qassem Soleimani last week, saying that Soleimani was planning to blow up a U.S. embassy.
“We killed a man who killed many, many Americans and many, many people, thousands and thousands of people,” Trump said during a press conference at the White House. “We caught a total monster and we took him out and that should have happened a long time ago. We did it because they were looking to blow up our embassy.”
“We also did it for other reasons that were very obvious, somebody died, one of our military people died, people badly wounded, just a week before, and we did it,” Trump continued. “And we had a shot at him and I took it and that shot was pinpoint accurate and that was the end of a monster. Really, that was the second attack. We didn’t start it, they started it by killing one of our people and wounding badly other of our people. That you call retribution.

“You know what bothers me? When I see a Nancy Pelosi trying to defend this monster from Iran whose killed so many people,” Trump continued. “So many people are walking around now without legs and without arms because he was the big roadside bomb guy. He was the one that sent them to Afghanistan, he send them to Iraq. That was his favorite thing. He thought it was wonderful. He doesn’t think it’s so wonderful anymore. When Nancy Pelosi of the Democrats wanted to defend him, I think that’s a bad thing for the country. I think it’s a big losing argument politically, too.”
Trump concluded his remarks about ongoing tensions with Iran by noting that the Iran nuclear deal was about to expire, so criticisms that his withdrawal from the deal sparked Iran’s aggression are not accurate.
“The JCPOA is close to expiring,” Trump said. “In other words, if I didn’t terminate it, it expires in a very short period of time. One of the problems, of which there was many, there was $150 billion, $1.8 billion in cash, all that money, and then that money was used for terror.
