Pompeo Offers No Specifics When Pressed On Soleimani’s Imminent Threat

When pressed about the intelligence about an imminent threat to Americans that prompted the fatal strike against Iranian commander Quasem Soleimani, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo offered up a vague response.



“We evaluated the relevant risks and the opportunity that we thought might present itself at some point,” he said Tuesday, naming the massacre in Syria and violence in Lebanon and Iraq as Soleimani’s handiwork.

“We know what happened at the end of last year in December, ultimately leading to the death of an American,” he continued. “So if you’re looking for imminence, you need look no further than the days that led up to the strike that was taken against Soleimani and then you, in addition to that which we could clearly see, have continuing efforts on behalf of this terrorist to build out a network of campaign activities that were going to lead potentially to the death of many more Americans.”

Pompeo’s explanation will likely fall far short of demands, made largely by Democratic lawmakers, for specific proof that a serious imminent threat against American life justified the explosive strike against Soleimani that has stoked anti-American sentiment in an already volatile region.

Pompeo muddled the reasoning for the strike even more later in his remarks, framing it as a retribution for older attacks on Americans rather than a preemptive strike.

“And then you saw more tactically just these last few days the President’s response when the Iranians made a bad decision to kill an American,” he said. “We hope they won’t make another bad decision.”

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) announced Sunday that she will hold a vote on a war powers resolution to curtail President Donald Trump’s aggression against Iran. Neither she nor Sen. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), both members of the Gang of Eight, was briefed about the strike in advance.

Many European allies to the U.S. have expressed apprehension and urged caution in the wake of the attack, as Iran vows revenge and claims Soleimani as a “martyr.”

Iraq’s parliament voted to expel American troops from the region on Sunday in an apparent attempt to keep the country from becoming a battleground. Contrary to an embarrassing letter written by Marine Corps Brig. Gen. William Seely and circulated by accident, the U.S. does not intend to withdraw troops at this time.

Trump has threatened to attack Iran’s cultural sites if the conflict continues to escalate, a statement which garnered widespread condemnation and a rebuttal by Defense Secretary Mark Esper, who assured reporters that “we will follow the laws of armed conflict.” Attacking a cultural site with no military value is considered a war crime.

Esper: Soleimani Caught ‘Red-Handed’ Plotting With Another Terrorist Leader Before Strike


Defense Secretary Mark Esper said Tuesday that Iranian commander Qasem Soleimani was caught “red-handed” plotting in Baghdad with another terrorist leader just before the U.S. launched the drone strike that killed him.

“The fact of the matter is, Soleimani was caught red-handed on the ground in Baghdad, one terrorist leader of a terrorist organization meeting with another terrorist leader to synchronize and plan additional attacks on American forces, diplomats and facilities,” he said on CNN.

When pressed on the immediacy of the threat, Esper said that he thinks the attack would have happened in “a matter of days, certainly no more than weeks.”

His explanation, while still vague, holds together better than what Secretary of State Mike Pompeo offered earlier on Tuesday.

Pompeo both pointed to Soleimani’s history of violence and attacks against Americans as rationale for the strike, seemingly switching away from the imminent attack defense to one of retribution. He did add that Soleimani was working to build up a “network of campaign activities” that could “potentially” end with American deaths.

The administration has struggled to coalesce behind one explanation for the sudden strike, bouncing between preemptive and retroactive rationales and declining to share any real specifics.

One point officials have come together on — including Esper and Pompeo — is that President Donald Trump’s threat to attack Iranian cultural sites, should tensions escalate, is an empty one.

“I have no doubt in my mind that at the end of the day, we will follow the laws of armed conflict if we end up in a situation with Iran, and that the commander in chief will only give us legal orders,” Esper said, referring to the war crime Trump put on the table.

Former MLB Star Condemned For Disturbing Tweets About Kidnapping Iranian Girls

Former Major League Baseball star and vocal Trump supporter Aubrey Huffwas called out on Twitter, Tuesday, for fantasizing about kidnapping Iranian women in an upcoming war.

In response to another user who wrote, “We should invade Iran and take their bitches. Persian girls are hot af without the headgear and you know they know how to act right,” Huff replied, “Let’s get a flight over and kidnap about 10 each.”

“We can bring them back here as they fan us and feed us grapes, amongst other things,” he continued, with a devil emoji, seemingly fantasizing about raping the women.

Baseball fans and other social media users reacted with disgust at Huff – a 13-year Major Leaguer who won two world titles with the San Francisco Giants — and questioned why Twitter had yet to take action against his account.
Huff, who retired from baseball in 2014, is a vocal supporter of President Donald Trump, with a #Trump2020 hashtag in his Twitter bio.

Huff was previously at the center of controversy in November, after he posted on Twitter that he was training his children how to use firearms in the event that Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-VT) beat President Trump in the 2020 presidential election.

The impeachment: Iran assassination

Ok. I see what you mean.

So because Trump committed dozens of crimes and is actively degrading our Constitution, he is being impeached.

And the person leading that impeachment is Adam Schiff.

And because Trump is an amoral coward who would gladly sacrifice hundreds of thousands of lives in America and abroad, in order to stay out of prison for his lifetime of criminality; he instigated a war in the Middle East.

Ergo, Adam Schiff is responsible for an impending war in the Middle East.

You are right - That does sound like Republican logic.
