Update: Soleimani Was In Baghdad On Peace Mission To De-Escalate With Saudis: Report (Zero Hedge)
WNU Editor: The Iraqi PM is saying that Qassem Soleimani was in Baghdad to negotiate a de-escalation in tensions with Saudi Arabia. Others are saying something else .... Why Iran's Qassem Soleimani was on a not-so-secret trip to Iraq when he was assassinated (Business Insider). I suspect that we will never know on why he was really in Baghdad that night.

/Yes, Saint Soleimani was there on a "de-escalation with Saudi Arabia" mission. No doubt meeting with the leaders of House of Saud - in Baghdad. This bit of fakery would hold water if we snuffed him in Dubai. But he wasn't in Dubai, he was in Baghdad.
He was flying in to harangue the locals for balking in their attack on the Green Zone and set up the next round of attacks on Americans in Iraq.
And you are the Iraqi pm's bodyguard who over heard everything? Didn't realize you left the aiea so quick to join the Iraqi government

Russ has a decent analysis. Antitroll/Antifa/Anti-Relevant does not. AntiTroll should get his beta-amyloids checked. You cant tell up to 3 decades ahead of time who will be affected by the disease.
