"Dramatically escalated tensions" in Iraq, and a bloated load vacationing at Mar-a-Lago.

The reported killing of Iranian Gen. Qasem Soleimani at the Baghdad airport in Iraq has dramatically escalated tensions in the region.

“We have hugely consequential breaking news at this hour,” Chris Hayes reported. “Iraqi state TV is reporting that in a strike the Iranian Gen. Qasem Soleimani was killed along with the head of an Iran-backed militia in Iraq.”

“Qasem Soleimani is one of the most important figures in the middle east, arguably the most important figure in Iran — he runs the Quds Force,” Hayes explained.

“This would change irrevocably things between the United States and Iran — it would put the two nations on a path to a conflict,” he predicted.

3. I thought the same thing.

With how high tensions are, why would they put him in a location where he's so vulnerable?

2. I wonder if the reason for he (relative) Twitter silence was because his team was plotting this

and they didn't want him giving it away?

I'm sure we'll soon be hearing that a "war president" can't be removed from office.
