CNN's Anderson Cooper compares Qassem Soleimani to Charles de Gaulle |
2020-01-03 |
![]() "Soleimani is‐it's difficult to convey how revered he is in Iran. Imagine the French Foreign Legion, at the height of the French empire. This guy is regarded in Iran as a completely heroic figure, personally very brave," CNN host Fareed Zakaria said. "I was trying to think of somebody, and I was thinking of de Gaulle, although he became the leader of the country," Cooper said. |

#17 Cooper is freaked because Trump's Bengazhi... and Soleimani was the guy who planned the Bengazhi attack. Obama's failure couldn't be better exemplified. |

#3 Remembering Le Grand Charles as I do, this isn't as crazy as it first sounded. Better yet the Legion Etrangere reference is embarrassingly ignorant historically. |

#2 "Soleimani was revered" ... Trump has "escalated" ... Note how all the media whores bleat the exact same language. They're incapable of an independent, well-considered thought. these whores are. |
