CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY JANUARY 8, 2020
ONE HEARS A LOT OF TALK ABOUT WORLD WAR III. PEOPLE ARE AFRAID THE RECENT KILLING OF AN IRANIAN TERRORIST GENERAL WILL MOTIVATE THE MULLAHS IN IRAN TO KILL MORE OF US, AS IF THEY NEED MORE MORTIVATION.
LET’S GET SOMETHING STRAIGHT. WE ALREADY ARE IN WORLD WAR III. THIS ONE IS DIFFERENT. THESE PEOPLE HAVE A RELIGIOUS MOTIVATION FOR KILLING AMERICANS, ISRAELIS AND ANYONE ELSE WHO DOESN’T BOW TO THEIR RELIGION AND POLITICAL DEMANDS. NOTHING THE WEST DOES WILL ALTER THEIR GOALS, EXCEPT KILLING THEM BEFORE THEY KILL US. DIPLOMACY AND BRIBES DON’T WORK. OBAMA AND BUSH TRIED THOSE. THE ONLY THING THEY RESPECT – IF THEY RESPECT ANYTHING – IS STRENGTH.
PRESIDENT TRUMP PROBABLY SHOCKED THEM WITH HIS ORDER TO KILL THE LEADER OF THE TERRORIST ARMY. THEY’RE NOT USED TO THAT. GENERAL Qassim Suleimani WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEATS AND MAIMING OF HUNDREDS, PERHAPS THOUSANDS, OF AMERICANS, SHOULD WE HAVE DONE NOTHING ABOUT THAT WHEN WE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY?
IRAN TALKS ABOUT REVENGE. LET THEM TRY AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS TO THEM NEXT. PRESIDENT TRUMP IS STANDING UP AGAINST THEIR FANATACISM AND DEFENDING AMERICAN LIVES. THAT’S WHAT HE WAS HIRED TO DO. I’M CAL THOMAS.
