<\/figure>\n\n\n\nIran does not want to be friends and has proven it over the\nyears by their support of terroristic groups. Look for them to try to utilize\nsome terror group to blindside us with something very destructive. They know\nthey do not want a war with the United States and will try to hide behind\nsomeone else. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 1998 Fazul Abdullah Mohammed and Abdullah Ahmed Abdullah\nwere credited with being the masterminds behind the embassies in Nairobi, Kenya\nand Dar es Salaam, Tanzania that killed over 200 people and injured over 5000\nmore. Twelve Americans were killed in those bombings. The FBI would track sixty\nphone calls placed on a satellite phone by Osama bin Laden from the small\ncountry of Azerbaijan to his associates in the country’s capital of Baku. Bin Laden\nwould be placed on the FBI’s top ten wanted list as a result of these attacks\non our two African embassies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2000 the USS Cole was bombed in Yemen. Seventeen U.S.\nNavy sailors were killed and 39 injured in the deadliest attack against a\nUnited States naval vessel since the USS Stark incident in 1987. The\norganization al-Qaeda and Osama bin Laden claimed responsibility for the\nattack. Many names and multiple people were involved in this attack. Bin Laden\nlike Iran used people to do his dirty work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
September 11, 2001 – The deadliest terrorist attack in US\nhistory took place when 19 men hijacked four US commercial airliners. The plot\nwas orchestrated by al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden. A total of 2,977 people\nwere killed at the World Trade Center in New York; at the Pentagon in\nWashington, DC; and in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gen. Qassem Soleimani led the elite Quds Force, part of\nIran’s Revolutionary Guards that reports to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Soleimani\nwas also accused of controlling proxy militias across the Middle East including\nones in Iraq, Lebanon and Syria. He has been called a murderer by several of\nour U.S. officials. The Pentagon blamed Soleimani for a series of attacks on\nallied bases in Iraq in recent months, including a rocket strike that killed a\nU.S. contractor and wounded four other service members. The Pentagon also has\nsaid Soleimani had been actively developing plans to attack U.S. diplomats and\nservice members in Iraq and elsewhere throughout the region. The Quds, which he\nled, were designated a foreign terrorist organization by the U.S. and were\nconsidered the most powerful intelligence operative in the Middle East, for\nmany years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
While none of us want killing, President Trump did the right\nthing. If bin Laden could have been taken out before the African bombings or\nbefore September 11, 2001 thousands of lives could have been\nsaved. Soleimani was on the move to see who, how and what he could\norganize to strike again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
