Wrong approach. If they had issues with these guys they should not have killed them so openly with US embassy staff still in Iraq instead they should have sticker bomb their vehicles with them inside.

Agree but it is what it is. Lets see how this heavy handed approach plays out.  They still haven't bombed Iran, this would add an entire new dimension to the conflict. 

This will escalate into something big!!

The US commenters talking like it's US!

Strange as Trump wanted out!  This will drag us in!

The US confirms they did it!

I believe Domestic politics played a role here!  It's a dramatic escalation!

Americans in Iraq should be on the lookout. At home, we have to watch our backs too. Once they bombed the Iranians in Iraq and Syria, I said there are going to be serious consequences in the Middle East. Iran will let loose her dogs. America can do nothing abroad without suffering massive casualties.

Bully act....this will escalate

I believe the Iranians will be tempered in their response.  The US did not cross into Iran and they will not do anything to provoke that.

I believe they will pick the time and place of their choosing to respond!  They are clever, shrewd and very strategic!

Anyway, oil prices are surging, big up Guyana!

Guyana oil will always be cheap. The cost of getting it to the top is expensive. Lately, the cost of mining oil has been rising world wide. One way of offset is to get it cheap from governments, namely Third World places.

Also, with global warming issues, the drive is to lower world production of mechanical equipment, electronic devices, food production, etc etc. Everything that keeps ppl in cities. The drive is to return to basic lifestyles.

Increase production needs more oil, more oil is more pollution. More employment means a robust economy. A robust economy requires more oil. More global warming.

God, told man not to live in cities, dem hard ears, never listens. And the Angels told God when He said He goan mek ppl, in one voice dem sey to Him, "doan do it, dem going to turn out troublesome."

What stupidness Siggy deh pon.  God invented two big cities, Heaven and Hell.  And a small connecting village called Purgatory.  And to make and keep hell hellish, he uses a lot of energy.

God didn't do this. Mankind did. Mankind created heaven and hell too. Heaven and hell are all here. It's called Karma.

That’s the Hindu version!  Christianity don’t believe in human judgments but judgement by god only.  And it drives life’s attitudes towards each other.

It’s a different means to a same end!

And you think with all the technology today, Steve Jobs up there to help, God should phone someone and tell him or her that he is real.

Did Bill Clinton bomb somewhere when he was being impeached? Just curious.

a good one.

The U.S. Embassy in Baghdad has urged American citizens to “depart Iraq immediately” after a U.S. airstrike killed Iran’s top military commander, spiking tension in Iraq and the Middle East.

The man had a rocket in his pocket and went off prematurely.

And the dress was all that was left as evidence. Despite his womanizing, Billy was a well liked President. They tested him like royalty in the Bronx. 

I feel bad for those people in Iran. They are calling for revenge and seem truly believing that Iran can actually put the hurt on America when they really can't. The people in the middle east are always full of fat talk but it is mostly empty talk as they are hardly any match for anyone especially America.

In the process of Iran taking revenge for the killing of general Soleimani, many innocent Muslims will be murdered. Iran will try to kill Americans worldwide. Trump has opened a can of worms. Remember when he said that Obama will start a war with Iran to win the 2012 elections? Well, guess what?

Soleimani had the look of an evil man from his pictures, his eyes revealed his soul. For the sake of his sect he surrendered his soul to the Ayottolahs biddings. Perhaps, they made a killer out of him. Then again, all soldiers are killers, Americans as well as others. When killed, they are revered.

As for the leaders, Trump and other adversaries, they sleep safe and unperturbed.

All this behaviour is not contemporary, it is as ancient as mankind civilization.

Killing ppl never solve anything. Obama killed Osama, but the killing still goes on.

Iran said they will stick to military targets.  I think they will not take the bait because they last they want is for the US to hit Iran proper.  They know Israel and Saudi and Sunnis will support the US.

Dem ain't stupid!

Iran knows not to mess with the U.S. Trump ain’t messing around and drawing shifting lines in the sand. Trump said that he has 24 targets if Iran starts any trouble.
