To me it was a welcome news report, delivered in person by PRESDT-45, R-New York (now Florida) himself that he had, acting as Commander In Chief (which is an actual title for the President of the USA) ordered a military strike to take out the No. 2 man in the terrorist activities sponsored by the extremist-oriented Muslim government now running Iran.  As an aside, it should be remembered that the existing radical clergy running Iran were put there as a result of the action of former President of the United States James Earl Carter, D-Georgia, in obtaining the removal of the former Shah of Iran (which left a vacuum eagerly filled by the said Muslim clergy with radical and murderinf orientation.

It appears that the action was carefully planned and involved little or no risk to our military individuals involved, other than the normal risks incurred in doing anything with military gear.  It was a good example of the technologically advanced equipment now deployed to our military, when the rules of engagement permit them to properly use them, much unlike circumstances during the previous administration.  In those days, said rules, in a book, were declared top secret and not permitted to be seen by the civilian population.

From all appearances, this operation was very carefully planned and carried out so as to minimalize any possible accidental casualties to civilians.  Our intelligence determined that the target was, in his confidence and arrogance, traveling between nations on an airline plane with a civilian load so the strike was held back until he deplaned and entered a ground vehicle to complete his journey to plan more terrorist activities.  After that vehicle was clear of the airport and away from non-target personnel, a single controlled rocket made a bulls-eye on the target.

It is most welcome, especially to those of us with some military experience, to find that our leader knows how to make decisions and carry them out, or allow the experts to do their sworn jobs.  Following releases have indicated that PRESDT-45 had listened to his advisers and on-the-scene personnel and allowed them to carry out this action.  An action that, as claimed, raised the security of the world substantially.

After all, those political leaders of rogue nations do understand evidence of determination backed up with the firepower to carry out the plans desired.  Cow-towing to them or offering bribes just tends to embolden them  further with more intrusive and/or deadly activities and demands.  This has been substantially demonstrated by the actions of recent administrations, as in the secret delivery by plane of more than one billion dollars to the mullahs of Iran by night.

It has been demonstrated multiple times in the nine decades of my life that those of evil intent will jump into action at any sign of weakness shown by their sworn enemy.  And we should not think for even one second that there are not rulers in some nations in the world that have sworn to be our enemies.  That has been often demonstrates by the extremist rulers in Iran with their screaming of “death to America” and inciting their “obey or face death”-ruled population to demonstrate or face the rather unpleasant consequences.

Further, it has been shown repeatedly that their word has no meaning. They, like those of similar intent during the last century, may execute agreements but immediately turn around and violate the terms that they have agreed to, even to the point of, as demonstrated by the Nazi leader Adolph Hitler. Hitler launched a full-scale attack on a smaller and less heavily armed neighbor within forty-eight hours after completing the agreement, almost before the duped leaders of Great Britain and France had arrived home to announce “peace in our time.”

No, those of the despotic mentality and intent will jump into action at any inkling of weakness and/or lack of determination on the part of their opponents.  Thankfully the POTUS (President of the USA) is willing and has shown he is not going to be thus taken advantage of nor refrain from taking out those who mean evil towards our nation or its population.
