Perhaps Sulemani had ordered the attacks on Saudi oilfields; perhaps Sulemani was responsible for attacks against foreign diplomats or; perhaps, like Saddam and his WMD stockpile, the intelligence community in the U.S. is in error. What is your assessment of the situation, as 5200 troops are readying to deploy into the region and under fear of retaliation from Iran; will there be escalation to conflict?

I'll say this coming from a position of disliking our President:
It's important to note that everyone is responsible for their actions. If there are attacks on the US or the US allies, due to the killing of qassem soleimani, then it is not trumps fault. The fault lies within the attackers, NOT the United States.
Should we bow our heads under the threat of terror? I say no. I say we fight back.

Just think how many Coalition forces have been killed and maimed from custom-made Iranian devices just like this?

I want to comment on the domestic environment and the potential consequences at home.
As we see the potential stirrings of another conflict, let us prepare ourselves.
There's a lot of hostility in several parts of our country these days. Let us love and inspire others to bridge dividing lines and Foster support for those who are already deployed and those who may deploy soon. More than just a glorification of military service, let our concern affect our political views and inform our views foreign policy.
As Mattis once said, " Look past the acrimony that sometimes surrounds issues and find a common cause of each other to take this country where it belongs in terms of it's concern for each other."

Not sure, but Canadians of Iranian Kurdish descent are happy while the Democratic Presidential Candidates and 2019 Progressives newbies AOC, Tlaib and Omar Complain.
I am happy. We will see, soon, if the Clandestine Iran Nuclear Program is actually the Clandestine nuke program we and the Israelis tried to sabotage with Stuxnet a few years ago.
