KW: The call for the UNited Nations to condemn U.S. actions will be fruitless as the U.S. dominates the U.N and nothing anti American will ever get anywhere despite the illegality or how dreadful the actions might be. But there’s another troubling aspect to this decision — Congress was left in the dark, and the administration appears to be lying about the intelligence they used to justify the strike. Of course they are lying, American ‘intelligence’ was used in the ‘weapons of mass destruction’ invasion of Iraq resulting in the American murder Saddam Hussein by hanging, a leader they once armed and supported in the proxy war they fought against Iran previously in 1980-88.
Update:
Iraq’s Prime Minister Mahdi corrected Trump. Soleimani was in Baghdad to meet with him about a Saudi request for dialogue to relieve tensions in the region—not, as the U.S. has claimed, to plan attacks against American forces.
“What happened was a political assassination. Iraq cannot accept this.”
