NEW YORK, January 3, 2020: The American Freedom of Defense Initiative (AFDI), one of the leading human rights organizations in the United States, on Friday applauded President Trump’s decision to target General Qassem Soleimani, the head of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps Quds Force, and Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, the deputy commander of the Iran-backed militias called the Popular Mobilization Forces, in an airstrike at Baghdad’s international airport.
The strike came after the Iranian government masterminded the siege at the U.S. embassy in Baghdad earlier this week. President Trump tweeted that “General Qassem Soleimani has killed or badly wounded thousands of Americans over an extended period of time, and was plotting to kill many more…but got caught! He was directly and indirectly responsible for the death of millions of people, including the recent large number of PROTESTERS killed in Iran itself. While Iran will never be able to properly admit it, Soleimani was both hated and feared within the country. They are not nearly as saddened as the leaders will let the outside world believe. He should have been taken out many years ago!”
AFDI President Pamela Geller said in a statement: “There is no doubt that Soleimani was a dangerous and determined enemy of the United States who had been targeting Americans for a considerable period. The President was wise to show the bloodthirsty Iranian mullahs a strong response to the Baghdad embassy siege; a weak response would only embolden them further.”

Geller added: “Americans can all be grateful today that Barack Obama is no longer in the White House. Instead of deterring Iran’s terrorist activities and moving boldly to end them definitively, as President Trump is doing, Obama enabled the mullahs by sending them billions of dollars and agreeing to a nuclear deal that allowed the Iranians to develop nuclear weapons with relative impunity. Obama empowered this genocidal and inhuman regime; Trump is working to end it. Accordingly, AFDI applauds this airstrike.”
The AFDI President also criticized the Democrats who are deploring Trump’s action, stating: “It is astonishing that Democrat Party leaders are actually claiming that Trump has made matters worse by targeting Soleimani. They are apparently unaware of or indifferent to the fact of Iran’s global jihadist adventurism. Their assumption that if we didn’t respond, Iran would leave us alone is a position of weakness and ignorance. The Democrat Party is now the party of impotent cowards and appeasers who don’t know how to fight a war.”
AFDI is dedicated to the defense and strengthening of the freedom of speech, the freedom of conscience, the equality of rights of all people before the law, and individual rights.

Great message Pam, very astute, esp about the cowardly moronic democrats who don’t even know which side they’re own. That’s how confused they are about the enemy. Thankfully at least Trump knows Iran’s regime are the bad guys.
What I don’t get is all these true believers want to die for Allah, why don’t we happily assist them? I hope Trump goes after Iran’s regime next and dismantles that cancerous tumor that is killing Iran.
Let’s also not forget about the same creed that is in western nations which has the same goals/intentions. It makes no sense to bomb your enemy in foreign countries while ignoring the same death cult in our nations. Hopefully Trump will get on that too.

Philosophers have pondered what the world would look like today if we could go back in time to kill Adolf Hitler before WW2; I am confident that Trump’s decisive actions will have a positive outcome.

If Ada was killed there wouldn’t be as much difference as one would think. National Socialism would be simply replaced by international socialism aka communism. That tends to last longer and destroys people from inside. Germany today would be likely in position where Czech republic is, before WW2 Czech was 3d most developed country in the world, in front of Germany. Now it is somewhere around 50th position with wages around 20% of Germany.
National Socialism was attempt of industry owners to prevent communist revolution, it backfired spectacularly.
Quasem was nowhere near position of Hitler, Khamenei is.
If Hitler was killed early:
On one side it is possible that WW2 wouldn’t happen and Americans wouldn’t die. On the other side it is even more possible that WW2 would be postponed and America would fight against unified communist Europe under Stalin with A bombs on both sides (as Stalin had planned if Hitler didn’t attack him). On the third side it is possible that without WW2 there would be communist revolution in 60’s instead of hippies. Your pick.

Tens of thousands of innocent lives were saved on Thursday night. Thank you President Trump,and thank you our brave soldiers who can now confront and kill the enemy without being betrayed by vile, traitorous politicians. The next move should be to decapitate the leadership and then destroy the oilfields cutting off all sources of revenue.
