#FakeNews media loves Iranian terrorists who kill Americans

The New Yorker described Iranian terrorist leader Qasem Suleimani this way:

Suleimani, a flamboyant former construction worker and bodybuilder with snowy white hair, a dapper beard, and arching salt-and-pepper eyebrows...

Can you imagine the New Yorker describing Trump in such a positive way?

Further the article goes on to blame the US for killing Suleimani even though Suleimani has the blood of hundreds of Americans on his hands.

But the strike represented a stunning escalation between Washington and Tehran, and it may well have the reverse effect. Iran almost certainly will want to respond in some lethal form, whether directly or through its powerful network of proxies in the region.

Note that the killing of an American contractor, which was done by groups who Suleimani either controls or has a great influence over, wasn't a "stunning escalation".  Nor was the fact that Suleimani was behind the attack on the American Embassy in Iraq a "stunning escalation".

In the mind of the #FakeNews New Yorker the problem was that Trump held Suleimani responsible for his actions.

The article reflects the left's complete lack of understanding of how to deal with evil men.  You don't negotiate with them; you kill them.  Or to be more precise if they refuse to negotiate and behave in a civilized way you kill them.

Trump has offered Iran a way out of their predicament; Iran just has to behave like any other country and not pay for and plot terrorism around the world.

The New Yorker is all worried that now Iran will retaliate.  But the question the New Yorker doesn't ask is how much worse will Iranian attacks be now that the head of the snake has been cut off than they would have been if we'd let Suleimani continue his war on America, and innocent civilians?

The article also completely misrepresents the what Trump's action means to the Iraqi government:

The U.S. killing of Suleimani and the air strikes on Kata’ib Hezbollah over the weekend are an embarrassment to Iraqi leaders and a challenge to Iraqi sovereignty. They come at a time when Baghdad is gripped by the deepest political crisis since the U.S. invasion ousted Saddam Hussein, in 2003. The Prime Minister, Adel Abdul-Mahdi, a Shiite who spent years in exile in Iran, stepped down and is now playing only a caretaker role.

The reality is that Iraqi's have been attacking Iranian backed forces in Iraq precisely because Iraqi's don't want to be a puppet of Iran.  People in Iran and Iraq are very happy that the Iranians primary agent of oppression has been terminated with extreme prejudice.

The simple reality is that the #FakeNews media hate Trump more than they hate Iranian terrorists who murder Americans.  To them Trump standing up to Iranian imperialism and terrorism is not a defense of America but rather an opportunity to attack Trump.

We see this same attitude in the Democrats. The folks who didn't mind that Obama overthrew the government of Libya and turned Libya into a terrorist resort without consulting Congress and who also were mostly ok with Obama's drone strikes are now all upset that Trump didn't consult with them.

One final note; the title of the article is "The Killing of Qassem Suleimani Is Tantamount to an Act of War"

Apparently the Iranian sponsored attack on the US embassy in Iraq isn't "tantamount to an act of war" nor was the Iranian shooting down of a US drone in international air space nor was Iran's seizing US sailors.

In the mind of the New Yorker only Trump can do anything wrong and no matter what he does its wrong.

It's clear that to the Left the terrorist regime in Iran can do no wrong; which is probably why Obama did nothing to support the Arab Spring in Iran.
