Iran's Top Terrorist Taken Out By The U.S.

[CountValentine]

I think they are referring to the wapo headline calling him a revered leader

That's what he was. He was also a murderer that got what he deserved.

I don't know if he was revered by Iranians or not, but if he was, I don't get what the big deal is

I didn't know either so that is why I asked. Him being revered makes this strike's message even stronger.

Poorly spun. Wapo is trying to frame this as if Trump wounded the Iranian population implying it was a bad move. Why not "US Airstrikes Take out Evil Archterrorist"?

Tomorrow they'll have an interview with his poor widow.

Oh please. Wapo is ultra liberal, but this is pretty innocuous. Some people have sour milk on their glasses

This is FOX's headline. Why did they call him a Top General and not a scumbag killer?
Trump orders US military attack that kills top Iranian general in Baghdad, Tehran blasts 'escalation'

Why did they call him a Top General and not a scumbag killer?

"Top General" is an objectively true description.
"Most Revered Leader" is meant to draw a narrative. (As is " 'escalation' ")

They are both accurate so I fail to see why someone would harp on the one word unless they wanted to spin it. What did the article say?

Worried for our city + our nation. Without the approval of Congress, the US Government effectively declared war on Iran tonight. The American people had no say in the matter, despite voting time + again to stop endless wars + bring our troops home. This one will not end soon.

Have spoken with Commissioner Shea + Dep Commissioner Miller about immediate steps NYPD will take to protect key NYC locations from any attempt by Iran or its terrorist allies to retaliate against America. We will have to be vigilant against this threat for a long time to come.

Dems should be leading the celebration. He is the root of much of the hate they say we need to eradicate. No need to elaborate on the cruel killings of lgbt or other non conformists. Also responsible for more murders than all mass shootings in US in last century combined.
