It remains unclear if the GOP will maintain one rationale for the targeted killing, Mike Pence’s swiftly rebuffed claim that Soleimani was directly connected to the 9/11 attacks against the World Trade Center and Pentagon in 2001.
I am now completely convinced we are being lied to because "also he kinda helped do 9/11" means the administration doesn't have a real reason. https://t.co/2LPJVQWfGQ— Kaili Joy Gray (@KailiJoy) January 3, 2020

I've been wondering if they even understand that the militia they accuse (without proof) of rocketing that U.S.-Iraqi base is made up of Iraqi people, and is part of the Iraqi armed forces. I've been wondering if they even understand that the people "attacking" the embassy are Iraqi, not Iranian, and they are protesting the deaths at American hands of 25 of their relatives, neighbors, friends. I've been wondering if they understand that the Iraqi parliament is going to be offended that American forces attacked Iraqi armed forces without even asking permission from the Iraqis.
