US Forces Kill Qassem Soleimani, Leader of Iran's Terrorist Quds Forces
UPDATE: ATTACK WAS PROMPTED BY TERRORIST THREAT THAT SULEIMANI HIMSELF WAS OVERSEEING
SCOOP: Senior US government official confirms to CBS News the strike was in response to active threat to US interests in the region personally overseen by GEN Suleimani. Official made clear US prepared to take further action if diplomats, soldiers threatened by his replacement.

Make no mistake - this is bigger than taking out Osama Bin Laden.
— Ranj Alaaldin (@RanjAlaaldin) January 3, 2020
The US has apparently gone all-in tonight: according to rumours in Baghdad (and regional reports), Qais al-Khazali and Hadi al-Ameri have been arrested by US forces - these are two of Iraq’s most powerful militia heads.

Holy crap - this guy was second in command for Hezbollah in Lebanon! https://t.co/DDTMjMRf2p

General Qasem Soleimani, the head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards' elite Quds Force, has been killed by US forces in Iraq. The Pentagon confirmed he was killed "at the direction of the president". Gen Soleimani was being driven car at Baghdad airport with local Iran-backed militias when hit by a US air strike. Iran's Foreign Minister, Javad Zarif, called the move "extremely dangerous and a foolish escalation". Gen Soleimani was a major figure in the Iranian regime. His Quds Force reported directly to the country's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and he was hailed as a heroic national figure. A spokesman for the Iranian government said the country's top security body would hold an extraordinary meeting shortly to discuss the "criminal act of attack".
Ben Loose-Ass Rhodes is whining and crying that the Bad Orange Man killed his very good Iranian collusion partner:
Trump may have just started a war with no congressional debate. I really hope the worst case scenario doesn’t happen but everything about this situation suggests serious escalation to come.
— Ben Rhodes (@brhodes) January 3, 2020
This is obviously a big escalation on our part, after years of Iran's own big escalations. I imagine they'll escalate further. We might wind up having to level Teheran, if the Iranians demand it of us. More: The Democrats who supposedly are such tough-guys who are the Adults in the Room about National Security are, of course, whining and crying that a terrorist murderer has finally been ended:
Soleimani was a murderer, responsible for the deaths of thousands, including hundreds of Americans. But this reckless move escalates the situation with Iran and increases the likelihood of more deaths and new Middle East conflict. Our priority must be to avoid another costly war.

And I think this may have been the only way.
By that I mean:
I have suspected since the Syria pullout/hit that the actors in that region, specifically Russia/Iran have decided they want to orchestrate an attack on the US that can't be responded to with any less severity than war. And I think Trump keeps pulling targets out from under them then slapping their hands.
I think they want a war and they want it of the controversial, US-started kind. Trump continues to put the ball in their court.

It's had only a few hot kinetic conventional phases (unfortunately).
This strike comes after months of Iranian actions and attacks on American assets - the latest chapter in the decades of war by Iran.
To avoid sounding like the cretins Sens. Murphy and Warren, and the pathetic little nothing Rhodes, avoid talking about "war!!!" as if it hasn't been ongoing for decades, and as if Iran wasn't going fairly wild in the last few years.

putting diplomats and US citizens at risk with this provocative action...
OK, so follow.
1. Trump gets criticized for pulling out of Syria.
2. He actually leaves force behind and has additional stuff to fight ISIS inside Iraq.
3. The Iranians have been attacking the stuff in #2 for weeks if not months. And they finally kill a US citizen.
4. Trump reacts.
5. Trump is again wrong according to the people that wanted him to keep US citizens in harms way.
Those people could not be consistent if you lined an entire stretch fothe Beltway with tires and mattresses.

Attacking regional sovereign countries (with actions that would have prompted a huge conventional war until recent times) - not provocative.
Murdering thousands of Iraqi protesters to support your puppets in Baghdad (who are doing your bidding and stealing the country blind) - not provocative.
Planning terrorist actions the breadth of the Mideast and North Africa, into Europe, including on US assets - not provocative.
Arming wild nutcase terrorist hordes in Lebanon and Gaza and helping them attack Israel and Lebanese opponents of Iranian meddling - not provocative.
Killing the world's most important terror master-mind and two of his key foreign deputies - PROVOCATIVE!!!!!

"Congress"
Gave their approval years ago, multiple AUMF.
"Saudi Arabia"
Saudis have been fighting a war against Iranian proxies for the last year or two. They could have been an intel source.
"Other allies"
Why?
Arguably Iraq was entitled to notification, but much of their government is Iranian controlled. The riots the last few weeks have been demands to kick out the Iranians...
Besides, I bet our treaties with them say we're entitled to defend ourselves. I can't imagine we wouldn't have included that, even if State and Obama never meant it.

Honestly, given the 100% rock solid certainty of Israel responding disproportionally when attacked, it's hard to imagine it's in Iran's interests here to stir up trouble with Israel. To be seen as a real response to Sol's assassination, Iran would have to do more than it usually does when it stirs up trouble with Israel. Israel, in turn, would have to respond more forcefully than it usually does, and what it usually does it to kick the ever loving crap out of anyone who attacks it, with prejudice. So, if Iran tries to attack Israel to "save face," it's quite possible Israel will smash that teeth out of that face.

Even better: read a document called the Vienna Convention of 1961. Countries aren't supposed to violate the terms of that document. All the justification we need is in there. You do not jerk with another country's embassy. You especially don't go into a third country, embarrassing that country (which is the host and is responsible for ensuring the said Convention is followed in regards to the embassy) by attacking an embassy - proxies or no.
I've pounded on that thing for two-three days now and yes, it means I am a mega-nerd - I have it on my computer desktop - but seriously, it's some interesting reading. The Iranians have been wiping their asses with it for 40 years and it's time SOMEBODY called them on it. The U.S. embassy in Tehran was seized on November 4, 1979. Bombs should have been falling on Tehran on November 5.
I'd also recommend Mark Bowden's "Guests of the Ayatollah". The telling scene for me is that once word of the embassy seizure hit the U.S., the Iranian embassy in DC was the scene of protests. So what did the U.S. do? Follow their treaty obligations. DC Cops cordoned off the embassy.

Is Iran going to start a war now? If they give us justification, they are so vulnerable that we could shut down the economic life of their entire country within 48 hours. Knock out the only refinery, knock out the major power plants, knock out the oil loading terminals. Boom, Iran is dead.

Not is self-preservation is an instinct Iran's leaders possess. (h/t, The Wolf)
The problem is that Iran's regime has been rocked by protests in recent years, even in recent months. It's economy has been hard hit by U.S. sanctions, so the regime is not on firm footing. If the U.S. went further and took actions that led to the toppling of the regime - and it could do so - these actions will look, in retrospect, to be suicidal.

They have big troubles at home, with their own citizens.
Any REAL military escalation they choose to employ should be answered by the US, and after tonight, Trump just made clear that it WILL be answered by the US, and that response will be disproportionate and will hurt even more.
So, they MUST respond to "save face," but if they do respond, Trump smashes that face and makes them look even smaller and weaker.

Above all, I cannot stress enough that the Iranian people are very pissed off at their government for spending money on foreign adventures and not doing jack for their citizenry. Do not be surprised if people there are enraged at the government. Not because they are necessarily all of a sudden deeply pro-American, but because once again their government engaged in some meddling, took a black eye, and wasted time and effort on yet another misadventure.

Look Raimondo, there isn't going to be a US invasion of Iran. We learned the lesson in Afghanistan and Iraq, that regime change by ground force invasion (short of total destruction and capitulation, circa WWII), doesn't work.
Highly more likely are additional US decapitation attacks on Iranian leadership, together with wonton destruction of Iranian's military infrastructure, if a "war" breaks out between US and Iran. That is, a "blow it all up, and see who takes over" type of regime change strategy.

I agree. We need to remember that Reagan and Trump were very different men, and they were each what the Nation needed at the time. Reagan knew how to inspire people to buy into his vision of what America should be, he understood why the American system was so much superior to socialism, and he knew how to explain that to average people in such a way that they would understand it too. He was a Father to the country, much like Washington had been at the beginning.
Trump doesn't have that skill, I would say he only has one great skill - He Fights. And he doesn't just fight, he fights brilliantly! He's got the best intuitive grasp of strategy of almost any President I can think of. And at a time when America is under attack from enemies without and within, a Fighter is what we need.

Many presidents have taken actions that might have caused a war without Congress. The 50s and 60s are filled with wars America participated in started by executive actions and never declared as "War" by Congress.

Posted by: Axeman at January 03, 2020 12:56 AM (Eicbe)
You'd be surprised at how many Americans think the military cannot and shouldn't do anything without Congress authorizing it. "We should declare war before doing anything!"
No. A declaration of war is a diplomatic tool, nothing more, nothing less. If you read Foreign Relations of the United States, the war declaration is handed to the Ambassador of the country targeted in the war declaration, and he/she is told to pack their bags and head to the nearest third country. The United States is obliged to look after their security and to expedite the process, but once they reach Canada or Mexico or fly out, they are on their own.
I draw your attention to Article 45 of the Vienna Convention of 1961, which outlines what countries must do in regards to diplomatic missions in the event armed conflict breaks out between them. The diplomats may leave but the respective countries must still look after the embassies and leave them secure. If so desired, a third country can look after those properties. Indeed, one idea that was kicked around by Carter was a declaration of war on Iran in 1980, because it was believed that Article 45 would kick in and that in this way, the hostage crisis would end (I say HAH! A country that couldn't even follow the basics would suddenly find itself bound to Article 45???)
This is what a declaration of war ultimately does. Conflict can happen without one and that ultimately doesn't mean jack to those in the trenches who are dodging bullets and sending their own downrange. So yeah, while Congress DOES have its role to play in the military (mostly relating to purse strings), I don't want to hear all this crap about war declarations being needed, blah blah blah. Besides, as other posters pointed out, this thing started on November 4, 1979.

The US sanctions HURT Iran. The best Iran can do is to lash out with one or more spectacular terrorist attacks or infrastructure attacks (i.e., additional attacks on Saudi oil assets). But now that Trump has put his cards on the table that the US isn't going to pt its hands in its pockets (or, like Obama, pull cash out of that pocket and hand it to Iran), as of tonight Iran is on notice that escalation begets escalation, and NO ONE can argue that the US doesn't win that game, in any event, by any stakes you care to play.

Trump assassinated a peace loving Iranian aid worker in Baghdad today. While on a mission to feed poor children of color in the slums of Baghdad (Slums created by Trump policies) he was ruthlessly killed by an air strike that Trump personally directed from the White House in Washington DC and laughed when the weapons struck the brand new Jaguar SUV that was just purchased. It is reported Trump sent the signal to the weapon to kill this poor man of peace while he was praying for all the children of the earth and for Nancy Pelosi's continued good health. He should have consulted me on how to run the operation properly so the world would still love us and not hate us because of the evil Donald Trump who stole the election from me !!!!

Slick Willie sold the North down the tubes in the "agreement" vis-à-vis the IRA. And true to form, the IRA faction went and elected Sein Fein to power (in their districts) in same election that saw Boris Johnson and the Brexit party annihilate the "Remain" factions.
My connection to Northern Ireland isn't "Wikipedia", but rather, she who I've shared a home with since 2006, who is FROM there. (MBA, University of Ulster.) And a U.S. Citizen since 2003.
Hillary Clinton will find less actual welcome in Northern Ireland than she would at a Republican National Convention in the post-Bush era.
She's waddling into a buzz-saw of epic proportions.

Yea, and as was pointed out above, the War Powers Resolution has never been definitively tested but he Supreme Court. My recollection on Supreme Court jurisprudence in this area is that they have expressly recognized that the Executive has inherent power to engage in military action. The whole point in making a single person in charge of the US military was to ensure the US can act quickly and decisively when it needs to, and the War Powers Resolution was drafted around that concept in an attempt to put some limits on the Executive's unilateral ability to enter military conflict.

The guy who authored the recent "The Plot Against The President," about the Deep State coup, wrote this 2015 article about Obama's Iraq and Iran policies, and Suleimani's name comes up. Here is link to 2015 article: https://tinyurl.com/t5y6ch8
No shit quote from this Article: "Obama likes Suleimani, and admires his work. As the president reportedly told a group of Arab officials in May, the Arabs "need to learn from Iran's example."

As of 2019
ExxonMobil's refining capacity in the U.S. amounted to approximately 1.73 million barrels per day.
So they do have a large refining capacity. But if understood correctly not enough to satisfy their own demands.
But definitely good targets.

Indeed. One thing about the War Powers Act of 1973 is that, yes, there it is, but everyone is scared to use the thing. Mostly, anyway (I could be wrong but I think the Dems used it for Urgent Fury in 1983).
Ultimately the one thing about having the President as Commander in Chief is that it upholds the principle of Unity of Command. Do you want 535 commanders or just one? Congress absolutely has a Constitutional role in regards to military ops BUT ultimately it is best to have one CinC.

Cooper replied that he would be surprised at how many of his checks DIDN"T get cashed because of his signature. Cooper's uncashed checks were celebrity souvenirs.

Hell, I'm in favor of the Republicans telling the Democrats that if they don't shut the fuck up and play ball, we're going to move to repeal the 22nd Amendment and have Trump be President for Life.
(And quite frankly, the 22nd ought be amended to allow a President to serve 3 terms, in my opinion).

They identified Soleimani via his hand with this YUGE ring on it. By "they", I mean some local militia. His body was blown into pieces and they found a lose hand with that ring on it.
"The American criminals had detailed information", said the militia commander.

value to their currency and allow their markets to open up
internationally. It will also provide the HCL law, which pays all Iraqi citizens an oil revenue stipend like Kuwaitis receive. The reforms have been hampered by the Iranian puppets in the Iraqi leadership and parliament, which has perpetuated the ongoing 30% unemployment rate while the corrupt politicians get rich. That's is the backdrop of the situation, and these are the three most important points to know right now: 1) The vast majority of Iraqis support the US strikes against Iranian militias, who have killed over 500 Iraqi protestors and wounded or kidnapped thousands more. Iraqis have been continuously protesting since October to purge their government of the Iranian puppets who facilitate the theft of their oil revenue, so the militias are trying to suppress them. That's also why Iraqi political leaders are lashing out at the US -- not because of Iraqi sovereignty, but to defend Iranian interests. The protests have so far resulted in new elections laws passing, a special election scheduled, and the resignation of the Iran-backed Prime Minister, Abdul Mahdi, who is in office temporarily until the special election. So when Mahdi criticizes Trump, know that the Iraqi people overwhelmingly oppose Mahdi's statements. 2) The theft of Iraqi oil revenue is the only lifeline Iran has under the sanctions, which their religious class has admitted is bankrupting them. Iranian citizens in Iran are still in revolt and burning down banks to support the US efforts to suffocate the regime. When the regime is no longer able to pay their military, the regime will fall. It's getting close. 3) The new election law passed by parliament will discontinue the appointment of Prime Minister candidates by the large Iran-backed political parties, and instead only accept candidates from regional districts (tribes, really), which means the candidates nominated will be anti-Iran and pro US. I predict the next PM will be Abdul-Ghani al-Asadi. All this adds up to REGIME CHANGE IN IRAN. And soon.

Good info. I certainly think this outcome is within the realm of reasonable probability. I think we again have to note how brilliant this Trump move was tonight, to this end. Strong move by Trump, sending powerful message to Iran, but in a way that doesn't kill Iranian non-combatants thus not taking the bait to give Iranian regime an "out" to their internal problems with they own citizens as would be the case with a military hit on Iranian soil.
But, depending on how Iran reacts, Trump may not be able to refrain from hitting targets in Iran, proper. Delicate game for Trump here, but if US plays its hand correctly here, the toppling of Iranian regime would be MASSIVE win for Trump.
Posted by: RichardWindsor at January 03, 2020 02:55 AM (DRgs8)
Does it not occur to these whinging wimps that the deaths of military leaders might just help Iranians, who want to overturn the mullahs, clear a path?
Does it not occur to these whining, frowning tv "reporters" that this act of killing terrorists so bold as to "own" Iraqi airspace and airport so brazenly, that Iraq just might feel happy?
Personally and biased, because I love President Trump, I think it was a fantastic win for intelligence and military to surgically kill these monsters. In Iraq, where they should not have been swaggering...not in Iran. A few missiles and daid, then out. Not an invasion of Iran, dummies.
These terrorists were plotting to kill even more Americans. They are dead now, with their 72 hideous crones, burning in hell forevermore. allyopp ackbared to pieces and a ruby ring. Dims, Never Trumpers, THIS is a good thing. Our President has courage and protects Americans. You stupid MSM clowns did not know, nor did crying Chuckie Schumer and Nanny P, BECAUSE YOU WOULD LEAK LIKE A COLLANDER. You have such rancid Trump disorder you appear to have Mad Cow disease along with jabberwocky blathering of nincompoops.
President Trump could find a cure for cancer and you'd beetch and moan about too many people now allowed to live.
I hope tomorrow's talking points are inclusive of "distraction" of impeachment, or him acting alone and reckless. I assure you those will be mentioned. Yet when their leader Obamabungo gave 1.7 billion in cash to Iran it was okie doke. Or when he caused the "Arab Spring" with The Hag, that was ok. Or when he told the Russian to tell Putin to wait til after the election for some hanky panky. That was ok. When he killed Bin Laden it was the best thing ever.
I do hope there will be tears, gnashing of teeth, tearing of garments and a general rerun of the election of 2016.
It is NOT World War III. President Trump is too smart for that. Let's not panic and run around with hair on fire. I, for one, will sit back and watch the hysteria, knowing that for the first time in a long time we have a leader not afraid to fight, and who wants to protect us.

An EXTREME understatement. The media is filled with incredibly lazy people.
================
Late last night when this news story broke, somebody in prior thread linked to Zero Hedge, who linked to live video news feed of Al Jazeera (English). I'm up late working, and have had Al Jazeera on for several hours now, and I'm shocked how GOOD the NEWS coverage is. I don't agree with all of their commentators' views, but their commentators aren't talking heads. They have news reporters on the ground in Washington DC, Baghdad and Tehran, the people they've brought in for commentary are official spokes people from various interests involved, they've had translated live coverage of official Tehran responses and video (until Tehran disallowed all video and pictures from streets of Tehran over coming days... what does THAT tell you).
It's been such a long time that I've actually listened to real news REPORTING, it's startling.
So yes... in 2020 America, this Moron is going to bookmark Al Jeezera as a reputable news source for international news in preference to every single US based "news" outfit, including of course, Fox News.

Seriously, their news coverage is substantive and serious. Not 10 minutes has gone by in last 4 hours without solid new information. They've cited statements from US officials, US State Dept., Israel, Netanyahu, Khemeni, Muqtada al-Sadr (the Iraqi Shia cleric of Mahdi army fame during Iraq war), etc. They've had live video, still shots, historians, substantive non-opinionated background, arguments from various standpoints, maps, etc. Coverage has been outstanding.

Funny how prescient they are. NOT!
An article dated 12/31/19 and already past it's read-by date.
Speaking of the administration's Iran non-strategy, O'Brien did not mention that the maximum-pressure campaign, just like pretty much all other foreign policy initiatives of this administration, has been implemented over the objection of all our democratic allies except Israel, because this administration is all but incapable of working with democratic partners.
As for peace through strength, the Reagan administration sank half of Iran's navy in response to Iranian antagonism. Trump's response to Iran's attacks on Saudi Arabia, the downing of an American UAV in international airspace, and attacks on commercial oil tankers in international waters has been silence.
Nostradamus this dude ain't.

Yes, aren't we all, but my point is, what's the point of talking about what the Democrats are talking about?
Why, it's almost like the entire US "journalism" industry is so hollowed out, they don't have any reporters to bring on air on the places that matter tonight, they've got no one on staff to spin up fact sheets on the players, places and history involved, and none of the news personalities have the personal chops to offer intelligent substantive commentary on events. If you're missing all of that, I guess a debate about what Nancy Pelosi said in a statement is where you go. And on the other channels, it will be the same talking heads that were talking about Stormy Daniels now talking about this Iran incident.
We Americans are getting dumber by the second that we pay attention to our so-called news sources.

Family members have been trying to determine the location of the ship which our son is on.
One of them tells me that there is a fleet tracker at USNI news, and now they can see where the ship is.
I had to tell them that if you can see information that tells you where the ship is, it's because the powers to be want you to have that information.
Whether it is correct or accurate is a completely different story.

We both share the same concerns.
What I was asking was a serious question.
Not a waving of the war flag and saying lets kill everybody.
But a simple 'What other options are there"
I personally can not think of any other options that would not contribute to the notion or impression that we are a feckless nation, worthy of derision and contempt.
BUT there may indeed be other options out there. And that was what I was asking.

82 Airborne rolled into Iraq a few hours ago. Will be interesting to learn the extent to which US knew when this was going to go down in advance. Was it a momentary target of opportunity or did we know his schedule in advance? Did Trump make chess moves with US military assets in days before this strike?
In any event, US citizens have been advised to leave Iraq by any means necessary, and to not under any circumstances go to the US embassy in Iraq. Marines have been set up to defend since embassy attack a few days ago, and now that we've whacked Soleimani the entire US Middle East military apparatus is no doubt locking everything down, loading missiles on planes, and getting air strikes ready for primary & tertiary Iranian targets.

I think the greatest thing about Trump is that he just does stuff, instead of hand-wringing over What the Neighbors Will Think. Like, acknowledging Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. The ME will have their panties in a bunch no matter what we do, so why not just do it - which Trump did.
I never would have predicted any of this when I voted for him. I thought he was just another statist, and I was voting purely to cancel out a Hillary voter. Can't wait to vote for him in eleven months.

After Obama feted these assholes in the White House and loaded them up with our goodies, they started acting like model citizens -- if model citizens finance terrorism, stir up shit in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, etc., continually threaten to nuke Israel, and hold daily "Death to America!" rallies.
Obama tried the carrot approach, and the Iranians shoved the carrot up his ass.

this point. Unless you like really bad flavors and really don't like
bourbon, do not ever buy Knob Creek Smoked Maple.
Even
if you drink this stuff with butter topped pancakes it will not do the
trick. I keep trying to mix this with real knob Creek bourbon and it
still does not work.
I realize flavored
bourbons and whiskies are hot right now. Hell, there is a peanut butter
flavored whiskey on the market. Someone told me that if you get it and
mix it with Chambord, it is like a PBJ sandwich. There are a bunch
of other flavored whiskies out there now but all i have tried are
dreck.
You would think that a high priced
whiskey such as Knob Creek would be the exception, but you would be
wrong. At least I know what I am getting if I go with a Beam apple. It
will be crap and taste like fake apple flavor. But I have tried the
Knob Creek and wanted to like it. They call it smoked maple but there
is no smoke at all and the maple is sickly. I tried adding more bourbon
but that only made more bad booze.
Opinions
vary and if you like bad tasting maple flavors, this might be ok if
overpriced. I wont try a straight shot at this point because it no
longer matters. But I recall a straight poor of this stuff reminds me
of Drambuie, but much, much worse.
If you
really like maple flavors, get some bourbon and mix in a maple syrup
and water concotion Don't ever try to dilute this stuff with the real thing as you will only be throwing good Bourbon after bad.. Again I
wanted to like this stuff but that is not possible. My guess is at
least one cob will agree with me.

A) This guy, the one that spontaneously attracted a hellfire missle, was the *head* of that intelligence operation. Likely putting the entire thing into chaos.
B) How good is *our* massive intelligence operation? We knew this asshole was with a bunch of other high value assholes when we blew them to tiny little pieces. My guess is that they had no idea we knew exactly where they all were.

This guy is responsible for more American soldiers death and injuries than any other person in the ME. Here's a little perspective. The groups in Iraq didn't k ow how to make IED's or shape charges until this asshole aided and abetted them. He helped trim and provide material that was actively used to wage war against u sin the ME and recently in AFG.
I hope it hurt, fucker.
To the Democrats, fuck your mothers in their whore mouths. Every single statement was prefaced with a "but". The president is CiNC and responsible for any clear and present danger.

Quint, everybody, if you want maple and alcohol, Woodchuck seasonal hard cider called Spring is...a breakfast drink. Tastes like it MUST be paired with pancakes.
And I love me some knob creek, but this flavoring craze is just crap.

I never have shown my colors. My wife and I do not discuss politics amongst these people. They probably think I'm as brain dead as they are. If it was up to me? I would have said fark you along time ago. I keep quite to insure domestic harmony

You are in a tough place then. I prefer to be thought of as a dick to just get it out of the way. That way you work from that as a starting point.
It does make for some interesting and many times "One time" encounters though.
Ideally what should happen, is everyone tones it down when encountering each other from that point on. I know I would. I also know if I did and they knew my stance yet they persisted, it would be a "Fark you" from me, or "You go, I'll pass. Have fun with your dick friends."

I hear ya, I thought about that but I just had to get it out. I would not have been true to myself if I let this fester. -------
I avoid all of the flavored alcohols. I believe it is a lesser alcohol, mixed with flavor that they still charge top dollar for.
Like flavored coffee beans
Posted by: Bruce at January 03, 2020 07:20 AM (vd8XM)
They usually use the flavoring as an excuse to water it down and give you a lower ABV version. This is particularly true with flavored vodkas. But the Knob Creek Smoked Maple is 90 proof. Sure it is lower than what they normally offer but still it is reasonable. They might use lesser booze but I think they take the 100 proof, water it down a bit, and ruin it with horrible maple flavors.
I get your point for sure. I think the same thing about pre-marinated meats as the super market. They are not going to choose their best cuts to marinate with whatever, that would be illogical. But as for Knob Creek, I think they take good bourbon and ruin it. Someone said these companies do this to try to attract non whiskey drinkers. That makes sense I guess but I am telling you this stuff is bad.
There is a video on youtube where a whiskey reviewer takes a sip of this stuff and then proceeds to poor the entire bottle out. I thought the guy was being a pompous ass but I was wrong.

Murphy, who serves on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, tweeted on Tuesday: The attack on our embassy in Baghdad is horrifying but predictable. Trump has rendered America impotent in the Middle East. No one fears us, no one listens to us. America has been reduced to huddling in safe rooms, hoping the bad guys will go away. What a disgrace.
Proof Positive that ignorant assholes should keep their yaps shut.

Quint,
Of all the tragedies to recently hit the bourbon communiity (collapse of the rickhouse in Bardstown, KY, loss of 45,000 barrels of Jim Beam to a warehouse fire), the worst is this self-inflicted assault on America's taste buds through making flavored whiskeys. Bourbon shouldn't taste like maple syrup, or apples, or cinnamon. Bourbon should taste like grain, and oak, and char. That the boys at Knob Creek have wasted their excellent whiskey by mixing it with maple syrup is enough to make me weep.

that reminds me that there is a maple cider I like. I have not had it in some time and it is pretty sweet but it is still a reasonable drink. It is called Crispin "The Saint".
Maybe i should not review angry but I really don't like the knob. They charge so much for it for no good reason. Some like it I guess but I am giving my honest review.

Oh jeez, now Graham is talking about blowing up Iranian oil fields if Iran retaliates.
These war mongereres are out of fucking control.
They want to get us into a hot war with Iran.
Which would mean us not leaving the region ever.
We have got to get the fuck out of the region now.

I think Grahamnesty's statement was spot-on. Obliterating Iran's only oil refinery would be a good response to any further provocations.
And you might want to invest in a crying rag.

Now we fight back and make them pay for every attack. They can't afford that. We can.
There is no way we are going to exit the ME. Our interests are too broad and we need to fight them over there or else we will be fighting them here.

I personally would not put it outside the realm of possibility that some democrats told Iran that they would not back any resolutions against their Country if they attacked the embassy to make Trump look bad. Or possibly to make Trump overreact and give them more impeachment ammo.

Funny thing, we're allowed to pop squadies planting IED's, but the guy directing those attacks, he's off limits?
Sure.
Maybe if we'd sent him a couple dozen pallets of freshly printed American currency under cover of darkness at a remote airfield, he'd have backed off the IED attacks for a week or two and we'd have "Peace in these 10 minutes" like we had under President Bozo Bigears.

________________
That's a pretty accurate description of the Obama years, except he left out the part where Obama used plane loads of our cash and gold, and invited terrorist fucks to be feted in the White House, in his efforts to appease the Iranians into not killing us and our allies.
Obama's "lets be friends" strategy did nothing but further embolden these vicious freaks, and our money helped finance their continuing terrorist activities.
There's only one way to deal with people like this, and Trump clearly understands that. Thank providence that he is our president now, and not the cowardly weasel Obama, who would have apologized to the "mourners" who stormed our embassy, and invited them in for tea and cookies, before gifting them with a goody bag courtesy of U.S. taxpayers after they'd finished raping and pillaging inside.

same with cider. The "craft guys" keep trying to be innovative by adding hops, whatever that flower they keep adding to everything, and cranking up the alcohol percentage. I want my cider to taste like cider. It should be 5 percent abv and taste like apples. JMO there.

We're doing a really poor job of that one too. We're basically fighting the Crusades over again. They went over fought, took territory and built crusader forts, little pieces of Europe where they lived, but generally they didn't change anything outside those forts. It was a hugely expensive waste of time. We aren't good at forced conversion, but Muslims are. We are not prepared to do it the way they do it. So we're stuck with this impossible task that we have no idea how to complete.
