what is the benchmark for labeling someone a "terrorist" now? MBS qualify?
MBS?
You can trace this guy all the way back to the Khobar Towers.
BTW, Thanks Obama (and Clinton, and Biden etc. etc. but crickets from 99% of the American LibDerp Left):
No bigger exporters of terrorism than the Saudi regime. None. Not even close. So whoever you want to pick. So what are we talking about here?
Factions within Saudi Arabia.
What you're essentially proposing is that the U.S. just stand by and allow this guy to continue to attack Americans and the U.S. continue to do nothing. Don't bring the "he was fighting ISIS" BS to this discussion, he was fighting ISIS because they're a threat to Iranian power within the region and that's the only reason. This guy reported directly to the top of Iranian leadership, he had no civilian overseer's, so his actions were the desires of the very top aka an Islamic Fundamentalist regime that just today defended their executions of LBGTQ people. It's pretty simple, don't plan and lead attacks on U.S. embassies (an act of war) and don't die. All this obfuscation about how it could have been other entities is BS, they had this guy pegged 24/7 and have for years, he thought he was untouchable. He wasn't in Iraq to be a diplomat, he was in Iraq to plan other attacks with Iranian backed factions.
The other real pickle here for LibBots, is that on one hand your legion of whackjobs will lose your freaking minds when you understand that if the U.S. really does pull out of Iraq that helps both Iran and . . . .
The Russians, and remember, the majority of whackjob LibBot Nations hates Russia now (because OrangeMan Bad). So, it's either the secret longing to get the U.S. out of the Middle East or NOT helping those got damn Russians (because OrangeMan Bad).
