FILE- In this Sept. 18, 2016 photo released by an official website of the office of the Iranian supreme leader, Revolutionary Guard Gen. Qassem Soleimani, center, attends a meeting with Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and Revolutionary Guard commanders in Tehran, Iran. Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard faces new sanctions from U.S. President Donald Trump as he has declined to re-certify the nuclear deal between Tehran and world powers. But what is this organization? (Office of the Iranian Supreme Leader via AP, File)
The left, who melts down at everything President Donald Trump does, is melting down again over the U.S. taking out one of our country’s biggest enemies, terrorist IRGC and Quds leader Qasem Soleimani, who’s responsible for the deaths of thousands of Americans, Syrians, Iraqis, and Iranians.
Sec. Mike Pompeo compared his importance to that of ISIS leader Abu Baker al-Baghdadi. Others termed him even more important because he had greater reach and greater power. This says a great deal about the quality of our intelligence and execution to pull this off.
Iraqis are celebrating in the streets the death of the “terrorist.”

Soleimani was hated for his militias killing and attacking protesters in Iraq.
Soleimani is despised even in Iran where he holds great power, especially by the pro-democracy protesters he has oppressed.
IMPORTANT: For many Iranians Qassem Soleimani was a warmonger who caused massive casualties in Syria. He was no hero to average Iranians who chanted against the country’s support for Hezbollah and Hamas 1/

Unfortunately Western media misses the point by glorifying Soleimani— He was the common enemy for people in Iran, Lebanon, Iraq and Syria. His Involvement in crackdown against university students in late 1990s was another black mark against him. 2/

Who is breathing a sigh of relief that Gen Soleimani is dead? Dissidents, feminists & secularists from Iran, Iraq, Syria & Lebanon.
He was a Shia Osama bin Laden with a national treasury & flag.
Who is crying foul? Obama alum Ben Rhodes, CodePink & Squad cocreator Cenk Uyger🤷🏽♀️

So how does the Washington Post describe this terrorist leader?
Seems they wanted to match their “austere religious scholar” description they gave al-Baghdadi.
Breaking news: Airstrike at Baghdad airport kills Iran’s most revered military leader, Qasem Soleimani, Iraqi state television reports https://t.co/NbZW4DaWvD
— The Washington Post (@washingtonpost) January 3, 2020
“Most revered,” the person responsible for the deaths of countless Americans, including one in the last couple of weeks, with the wounding of several others. Do they love terrorists, or just so hate Trump? Which is it? Or both?
Even if you’re not pro-Trump, they should have the honesty to acknowledge calling a terrorist “revered” is just despicable.
Americans lit up the WaPo.
There’s no way all the keys that spell “terrorist” are broken on everyone’s keyboard at WaPo.

Revered by whom?
You are really disgusting, austere writers of propaganda.

“Revered???” WAPO is truly the enemy of the people

Sorry for your loss, Wash Post.

The important question though is whether he was an austere religious scholar.
