I've had a suspicion that General Soleimani's murder was another of the Pentagon's numerous 'accidents'. Or it could have been ordered by rogue elements within the Pentagon to disgrace Trump---there are many in the Defense Department on the side of the Impeachment Whackos. At any rate, if this were the case; Trump handled it masterfully. It seems from initial reports that the attacked bases were largely evacuated already anyway and there have been no casualty reports. Trump said in The Art of the Deal, that it's often wise policy to cede to an opponent a face-saving move. If my theory's correct; that appears to have been exactly what happened.
In Iraq, Ayatollah Moktada Al-Sadr, who is the top Shiite cleric, stated that "the crisis was over" and plead with Iraqis "not to turn the country into a battlefield again."
Hezbollah issued the following statement, which was much more measured than the given by its commander yesterday:
"In light of the clear Iranian messages, which were quickly read with concern in Washington, Trump's speech came to present a new offer to Tehran that entices it to withdraw from escalation, which includes a proposal to negotiate all policies and even to cooperate on priorities such as fighting ISIS, according to Trump. The latter seems to be facing a stalemate by replying to Iran and its allies through escalation and changing the mechanisms of action, which will backfire completely...while the Allies stress their new options are not likely to be declined."
Thank you again, Mr. President, for keeping your campaign promise against Deep State policies of Endless War.
