Washington Post: Terrorist Mastermind Suleimani Was a "Revered Military Leader"

As Twitchy says, "Never change, WaPo."



Jane D'Oh writes:

Ace, CBS went further. Soleimani was not only "revered," but "inspiring" and a "military genius."

Link to Newsbusters' post about that here.

This reporter adds some actual non-OrangeManBad perspective:

THREAD: Middle East waking up to incredible news of Qassem Suleimani's killing in US strike in Iraq, at Baghdad airport. He had reportedly just flown back from Beirut. He was like a Middle East viceroy, trotting around region, giving orders, masterminding small and large ops.

A combination of elation, relief and fear here in the region among people who suffered tremendously from Suleimani's policies, from Lebanon to Syria and Iraq. Elation and relief because he was seen as the evil mastermind of policies of death and destruction, propping up bloodthirsty oppressive militias, overseeing a devastating war in Syria, feeding/playing on sectarian hatred, helping crack down on protestors in Iran (2009/2017/2019), Iraq now, and likely more recently helping Hezb to navigate protests in Lebanon.

Note that he had just flown back from Beirut.... and it's definitely not his first visit.... There were reports of him being in Lebanon in 2006 to help Hezbollah strategise in the war against Israel.

And so there's celebration and relief from Iran, to Iraq to Lebanon and Syria, among those, Sunnis and Shias who suffered from his evil mind. I write about him in my forthcoming book Black Wave and the deadly dynamics of revenge that he pursued after Iran-Iraq war.

There is fear because he was so central to almost every regional event in the last two decades that even people who hate him can't believe he could die, a bit like people couldn't believe Saddam was really gone. He seemed invincible, omnipotent. What happens in his absence?

Some of his aura or reputation was probably overblown, but he really was indispensable to Iran, he was not on a mission, he WAS the mission, the architect of Iran's expansionist regional policy, the indispensable upholder of the Islamic Revolution, keeping it alive for Khamenei.

So what comes next: war? chaos? limited retaliation? nothing? no one really knows, not in the region, and not in DC, because this is unprecedented.

There is anger too of course, among his supporters, allies, proxy militias, who were devoted to him and lionized him and will be lost without him. There is no replacement that I know of or can see. They will be mulling their next step for a bit. First, huge displays of mourning

Lots more to say abt region, US policy, Saudi Arabia reax, Iran domestic reax, local dynamics... more later, but for now then read Dexter Filkins' piece from 2013 on Suleimaini, the best profile out there.

Some more reactions below.


Former FBI lawyer and office pump Lisa Page sympathizes with the "5000 year old culture" which must kill infidels to prove it is "a real and independent country."



Dave Reaboi's doing a little gloating, mocking crying Iranian terrorist commanders:



... and of course a terrorist enabler:



A New York Times reporter tries to humanize Soleimani, the way Rolling Stone gave a Tiger Beat cover shot to the Boston Bomber:



Soleimani actually reports he has some GAINZZZZ...




Brazilian president Jair Bolsanaro weighs in:



Note that was a parody account. Still, kinda funny.

And of course Hollywood is already sending supportive messages to the terror state of Iran:



They do realize that when Iran sends terrors squads into the US, they're going to leftwing cities, right?

For how much longer do they expect the rest of us to care when they do?

I don't always know which is which (though it is pretty clear that Tehran Rose is the former and Ben Rhodes is the latter).

It would be good to know who is in which camp, because when meting out justice the punishment for one group should be far less severe than for the other.

Many reports indicate Iran's Quds Force chief Qasem Soleimani intended to:

-kidnap Americans in Baghdad

-order proxies to attack U.S. interests, allies in multiple countries

-launch a coup in Iraq



And Iran is most likely preparing attacks now.

124 >>And Iran is most likely preparing attacks now.

I bet there is a whole new attitude in Tehran today.

It wasn't too long ago that Iran could capture a bunch of US sailors and humiliate them on tv with zero repercussions.

They just saw their most valuable military/terror strategist get vaporized and saw Trump basically tell them he will hit back twice as hard instead of sending them pallets of cash to any new provocations.

Things like that tend to focus one's attention. They may take a shot. They know they will pay an enormous price and nobody is off limits.

Posted by: JackStraw at January 03, 2020 01:56 PM (ZLI7S)

125 Iran may be smart in their retaliation. They may not be. I am not certain which would be worse.

Not smart: Start bombing US-aligned targets, violate Iraq's border, try to kick off a coup in Iraq. This is not smart because the obvious play is destroy all Iranian energy and water infrastructure, blockade them, and starve them.

Smart: Seal the Straits of Hormuz, impound any foreign carriers, disrupt the oil markets, demand moderate concessions on which they could then cheat. This is harder, because direct in-kind retaliation is harder.

This is exactly what I guessed Suleiman would be up to, especially the Coup part. Iraq's political establishment is in a deadlock, but the Militia's could have pushed a takeover and then agreed to an immediate influx of Iranian Revolutionary Guard Troops - but the US Embassy had to be out of the way before that happened.

The militia are still strong, but they've been decapitated. The Iranians may desire to react and attack back, but their Command and Control was just blown away.

The Iranian Navy could probably be dispatched relatively easily. It comes down to whether closing major trading lanes would be considered justification for taking that action. I think it probably would, but military retaliation to a a blockade would give a lot of ammunition to America's enemies. They wouldn't be right, but they'd make hay with it.

192 We're witnessing the death of the Iran regime and their death throes toward the US. I've been following Iran's involvement in Iraq closely for over a year because I have a significant financial investment there. Iraq is on the cusp of enacting their monetary reforms, which will add 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.

In the former case of a direct military attack, this is absolutely what should happen. It should probably happen anyway if they get uppity in the naval department, but it's harder to justify.

An excerpt:

But in Iran, many
saw him as a larger-than-life hero, particularly within security
circles. Anecdotes about his asceticism and quiet charisma joined to
create an image of a warrior-philosopher who became the backbone of a
nation's defense against a host of enemies.


He
was close to Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who on
Friday issued a statement calling for three days of public mourning and "forceful revenge," in a declaration that amounted to a threat of
retaliation against the United States.
"His departure to God does not end his path or his mission," he said.

If Gary Brecher was right and carrier killer missiles can actually perform as advertised, now's the time Iran needs to break them out. But it's super hard to kill a carrier, even if you can hit it. Iran's options, according to conventional wisdom, would at best be ineffective. Closing Hormuz would hurt them far more than America. And bombing the NY subway? LOL, we are so scared of that.

They actually won at Thermopylae.



Kinda, yeah. But their navy was obliterated and they were so broken
and demoralized that they couldn't advance as intended, setting up
Marathon. It was so costly a victory that they kinda lost.



Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at January 03, 2020 02:14 PM (KZzsI)

Posted by: Someguy



Less slowed them down than aggro'd the Greeks.

Posted by: Jean at January 03, 2020 02:22 PM (RzQZM)

Marathon was a raid against Athens years earlier.

Thermopylae was a delaying action in the invasion.

Salamis was the naval fight outside of Athens after Thermopylae.

Due to the loss of naval control and unable to protect the supply convoys most of the Persian army withdrew from Greece. The next year the remaining Persian force was defeated at Plataea.

Whatta dumbass. That statement is 2 AOC's.
When they took our embassy during Carter, that was an act of war. The sad fact that we didn't glass their ass doesn't negate that.

517 The Catch for David French is he's a neocon interventionist, and pretty much every interventionist has a hard on for war with Iran.

There are very good military reasons why we have never gone to war with Iran and most of them are Logistics, and the way PDT has been handling it has been as good as anyone or better. And most of that, French has been against.

But warheads on foreheads? That makes old Frenchy hard.

This feels similar. i remember 1979. And i remember the other crap Iran has pulled over the years. it almost felt as permanent as the wall. Iran never pays a price for their actions. That's just The Way Things Are.

527 The media seems unable to resist the temptation to act like idiots. Is it possible they actually are idiots?

There's a very high likelihood that presstitutes are all well below the average IQ. They aspire to be idiots, as that would be a big step up in intelligence for them.

534 Zombie: An addendum to my synopsis at comment 192: Marco Rubio just stated that Soleimani arrived in Iraq to plot a coup. This is very good news, since it reveals Iran's desperation. Iran is fully dependent on stealing from Iraq instead of relying on their own domestic product. The coup intention also reveals that the Iraqi protesters own the real power in Iraq, who are morally allied with the US. If Iran had to plot a coup, it means Iran cannot endure the upcoming special elections that will conclusively purge all Iranian influence from the GOI (Government of Iraq). Again, it all adds up to the Iranian theocracy falling within months. There will be no major escalation. You can't have WW3 when one side is already in stage 4 of terminal illness.

RAS has Trump JA at 50/50 today. (And that was all before the so-called general assumed room temperature, after he cooled down). That would be a reelect # on steroids, if it holds. That's also 4 points better than Shit Midas on the corresponding date in 2011, btw.

Now, if only they nominate Sanders! We might get our country back.
