President Trump: Iran Was Targeting Four US Embassies





Daily Mail: Donald Trump claims Qassem Soleimani was planning to blow up 'PROBABLY four' U.S. embassies before he was killed in a drone strike after Mike Pompeo says U.S. did NOT know 'where or when'

* President Trump told Laura Ingraham that there were 'probably four' U.S. embassies being threatened by Iranian general Qassem Soleimani
* I can reveal that I believe it probably wouldn've been four embassies,' the president told the Fox News Channel host
* The president specified the Baghdad embassy as one of the targets, as the complex had already been attacked by Iranian-backed protesters
* Earlier Friday, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo doubled down on the president's claims that U.S. embassies were in jeopardy
* The Trump administration has been called out by members of Congress for taking out Soleimani without authorization

President Trump said in a new interview with Laura Ingraham Friday that there were 'probably four' U.S. embassies in the crosshairs of an attack orchestrated by Iranian general Qassem Soleimani.

'I can reveal that I believe it probably wouldn've been four embassies,' Trump told the Fox News Channel host.

The president also offered that it was 'probably' going to be the embassy in Baghdad, which saw Iran-backed militia members attack it last week, further inflaming tensions between the U.S. and Iran, that led to Soleimani's death.

Trump's comments come after Secretary of State Mike Pompeo doubled down on the president's claims that embassies were Soleimani's targets.

"Probably" four targets, and they didn't which ones or when they would be hit. Sounds like solid intelligence, right

What's wrong with just wanting to hear more?

Imminent suggest almost immediately if not sooner.

Given the proven experience of Qassem Soleimani if there was imminent attacks planned, you would think he would have backup strategies to ensure they were launched even if he was unable to give the order, but, especially if he was killed, as he was.

Following the attack on their General you would reasonably expect those "imminent" attacks to take place. They haven't

It actually sounds as if the only imminent attack DJT was concerned with necessitating the attack on Soleimani was of the IMMINENT IMPEACHMENT sort.

And for sure he got the distraction he was looking for.

Like every other day. Dems, libs and mouth breathers declare that this is Trump's last day and that they got the goods and then nothing.

But they make a great noise like a pack of hyenas.

It has been about a month since the Dims in a party line voted for impeachment and they have not sent it forward. It was so important they said and then they let it sit.


Funny but Bob sounds a lot like B Poster "you would think he would have backup strategies..."

Coinky Dink?
