Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Buttigieg, Sanders and Biden hit Trump for eliminating international jihadi Soleimani

Feb 12, 2020 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

They think they could sit down with the jihadis and make a deal. And maybe they could. But such a deal would be as disastrous for the U.S. and the world as the Iran nuclear deal.

“Buttigieg, Sanders & Biden Hit Trump for Eliminating Soleimani,” Clarion Project, February 10, 2020:

What would have been the fate of premier Iranian terror leader Qasem Soleimani under Pete Buttigieg, Bernie Sanders or Joe Biden, some of the leading Democrat candidates for president? Would they have chosen to eliminate him as did President Trump or would he still be alive, free to wreak his jihadi terror on American forces?

That was a question posed to the candidates during the last Democrat debate February 8, 2019, reported The Daily Wire.

Arch terrorist Soleimani, commander of the Iranian Quds Force of the Revolutionary Guards, was the ruthless architect of the Iranian proxy wars in Iraq, Yemen, Syria and Libya. He was personally responsible for hundreds of America deaths in the region and central to Iran’s ties with terrorist organizations Hezbollah and Hamas.

At the time of his assassination, which was ordered by Trump, the U.S. government said he was planning imminent and deadly attacks on U.S. interests in the region.

During the Democrat debate, the candidates were asked by the ABC moderator, “Given what you know about Soleimani, if your national security team came to you with an opportunity to strike, would Soleimani have been dead or would he still be alive under your presidency?”

Shockingly, all three candidates opposed Trump’s decision to eliminate Soleimani. Take a look at their answers:

  • Buttigieg, a veteran, complained it was a bad idea, claiming Trump didn’t know what he was doing
  • Sanders stated the move would lead to international anarchy
  • Biden (who opposed the hit on Osama bin Laden, made by the Obama administration while Biden was vice president) said there was no evidence of imminent threat.  (Was Biden really privy to the high-level security briefings about that threat?)

This what the U.S. State Department had to say about Soleimani:

Since 1998, Qassem Soleimani commanded Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Qods Force (IRGC-QF), the terror arm of the Iranian regime. The IRGC-QF is tasked with planning and executing terror and military operations outside Iran’s borders. Under Soleimani’s command, the IRGC-QF has fueled destabilizing sectarian conflicts throughout the Middle East for decades.

The IRGC-QF continues to wage an illegal campaign of terrorism, assassinations, and violence. At Soleimani’s direction and with his oversight and guidance, the IRGC-QF has planned and conducted terrorist attacks across six continents and inside the United States….

    Buttigieg, Saunders and Biden are fools for failing to understand and recognize that President Trump had shown wisdom in ordering that US drone airstrike which eliminated that brutal, violent and murderous Iranian terrorists commander , at the Baghdad airport, is thievery best way of sending those cruel ruthless jihad –minded rulers in power in the “mullah regime “ of Iran a message in the only language that they will understand. Which is a message sent with and by the power of strong military might.

    As Thomas Jefferson had, so clearly, declared, “With every barbarous people …force is law.”

    Those Democrats such has Buttigeg, Sanders and Biden , are exposing their own lack of understanding and likewise their own low intelligence level if they accuse President Trump of “escalating’ the situation with Iran are only by Soleimani was a very dangerous man. Therefore it was necessary that he was eliminated. their own words exposing what ignorant politicians they actually are.

    Soleimani was a very vicious and dangerous man. Therefore it was necessary that he was eliminated.

    Soleimani Worked for the DEATH TO AMERICA” country, IRAN. Trump and his Generals knew what they were doing. Did I say Obama did something wrong when he and his people killed Osama Ben Laden , of course not ! These dummy’s hate Trump so much that they’s rather give Soleimani positive propaganda against America to appease the Terrorist country, Iran.

    Reminds me of the last words of Theo van Gogh: “Can’t we talk about it?” Instead of conversation he got shot and then a list of coming victims of jihad murder was pinned with a knife to his chest. The first on the list was Ayaan Hirsi Ali.

    At least we know where all three candidates stand regarding Trump’s decision to eliminate Soleimani.

    Buttigieg, Sanders, and Biden all opposed.

    Very revealing…

    The ABC moderator should have followed up with this:

    How many more jihad terrorist attacks / people killed would Soleimani have to complete in order for you to take action?

    I don’t know what it really is now. There is no Democrat party in the country anymore. What real Democrats may be left are trampled by the alt left.

    Democrats; Any retaliation for the killing of Americans is a dangerous escalation. According to democrats, inaction is the best defense. The question is, just how far will democrats go with their policy of inaction regarding the killing of Americans? From my observation there is no limit.

    ………………..

    How *dare* any American president act to protect us from Jihad? Buttigieg, Sanders, and Biden certainly won’t…

    Birds of a feather, attracted to pure power lust and evil. (Petey have a secret crush, did he?) None of them can be trusted to defend us from the ambitions of the slaves of Allah to make P-Islam dominant over the world.

    These three Democrats say they would not have eliminated Soleimani, and by that fact prove they are not fit for any political office in this country. They are saying that for two reasons: 1: because they will never give Trump credit for anything that he does, and 2: because they desperately want Muslim votes and will happily allow jihadis to kill Americans so as to get those votes.

    When obama was president he ordered the murder of many people and even said “I’m very good at killing people” and the demoncrats loved him as well as his adoring corporate press. When President Trump ordered the killing of a terrorist leader the demoncrats became enraged as well as their communist corporate press. The demoncrats are most certainly keeping the promise they made when President Trump was elected and that was to fight him and everything he did for a full four years and I must add to that fight our president whether what he has done is right or wrong.

    Crazy Communist, Butt-boy, and Pocohontas won’t stand up to America’s enemies. Imagine the appeasement that would come out of these freaks.

    Their show of weakness just emboldens the islamic crazy ‘s. The public needs to realize that we are at war with the islamic leadership who want to destroy our world. Their leadership will kill and destroy anyone even their own followers if they get in the way, sounds like a repeat of Hitlers attempt at world domination. If we do not stop it now millions will die on both sides.
