Re: U.S Assassinates Top Iranian General

I think the issue is not whether we will be shedding tears over the guy being assassinated in a bold manner - I suspect few here will - but what will the repercussions be. It's obviously a trade off.

Quote:
“What always kept both Democratic and Republican presidents from targeting Soleimani himself was the simple question: Was the strike worth the likely retaliation, and the potential to pull us into protracted conflict?” said Representative Elissa Slotkin, a Democrat from Michigan and former C.I.A. analyst who served in Iraq and worked at the White House under both of Mr. Trump’s immediate predecessors.
“The two administrations I worked for both determined that the ultimate ends didn’t justify the means,” she said. “The Trump administration has made a different calculation.”
