Murder at Christmas and New Year Trump Slays Soleimani Holy Jesus

US President Donald Trump has said that he ordered a precision strike to "terminate" a top Iranian commander who was plotting "imminent and sinister attacks" on Americans, adding that the decision was one of deterrence rather than aggression.
"We took action last night to stop a war. We did not take action to start a war," Trump said in a statement from his Mar-a-Lago resort on Friday, a day after a US drone strike on a Baghdad airport killed Qasem Soleimani.
Later, while at a Miami church for an Evangelicals for Trump event, the President said: "He was planning a very major attack and we got him."
Iran, in a letter to the United Nations, called the attack state terrorism and an unlawful criminal act.
    Majid Takht Ravanchi, Iran's ambassador to the UN, told CNN's "Erin Burnett Out Front" that the attack was "tantamount to opening a war." There will be revenge, he said.
    "The response for a military action is a military action. By whom? When? Where? That is for the future to witness," he said.
    He said Washington has escalated a war it began when it pulled out of a nuclear deal with Tehran.
    "The US has started the economic war in -- in May 2018. Last night, they started a military war. By assassinating, by an act of terror, against one of our top generals," he told CNN.
    The move marks a major escalation in regional tensions that have pitted Tehran against Washington and its allies in the Middle East, raising the specter of further regional destabilization. The strike, condemned by Iran and its allies as an "assassination," has been met with concern by European officials and the United Nations, who have called for de-escalation.
    The Pentagon on Thursday confirmed the strike killed Soleimani, who as head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) Quds Force became the architect of Tehran's proxy conflicts in the Middle East.
    Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis -- the deputy head of the Iran-backed Iraqi Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) -- was also killed, according to a statement from the PMF, which said the pair "were martyred by an American strike."
    Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, left, and Qasem Soleimani were killed in the US strike.

    Retaliation is a virus in the body of the American body politics and a stigma to the political process. Instead for the US representatives or Senators vote their conscious and the interests of his/her constituency they are intimidated through steps of retaliation to ignore all that and follow the orders of the orders of the party bosses or Donald Trump himself.

    Bernie Sanders Won America’s Largest Arab Community by Being Open to Them  .. .. Bernie Sanders’ upset in the Michigan primary Tuesday can be attributed, in part, to a strong showing in Dearborn, Michigan, which has the  largest concentration of Arab Americans  in the nation. Sanders  won almost 60 percent of the vote  there, besting rival Hillary Clinton. Apparently, something about Sanders resonated with residents. “Believing in something unpopular and fighting for those things is true courage and bravery. I feel personally connected to his message of humanism and peace,” Mason Hinawi, a high school student and first-time Dearborn Heights voter, told  The Intercept  about his support for Sanders. “I know a lot of Muslim people my age also taken by his message of peace and his welcoming tone.” An  analysis  by the Dearborn-based  Arab American News  showed that heavily populated Arab neighborhoods in the city went overwhelmingly for Sanders — 210 to 101 in Southern Sali
