#1 F--- off, bumboy.
Yes, Suleimani's reign of interstate terror was "unwanted" by civilized people, and any normal civilized state would consider it "unnecessary" for doing what normal, civilized governments do, namely, promote life, peace and prosperity instead of ruin, mayhem and death.

But we ENDED that reign of terror.

Do you get that, you shallow, smug little f---?

#2 Watching the left self-impale then spin on their poles complaining about their sore butts reminds me of an ex-boss at HP:

"It's not interesting when we shoot ourselves in the foot. What is interesting, is how quickly we reload and do it again".

#4 Don't blame mayor Pete - it was his husband's idea.

#5 p.s. If Suleimani was whacked under a Dem president, it would've been the greatest American military victory since invasion of Normandy.

#7 @Bright Pepples, no he was among the last generation of PhD's before she replaced them all with MBA's. I fell in the middle with a BS CompSci and an MBA.

#8 He did QA stats on their production of 'superdome' computers, in Roseville, CA. I have no idea if those exist any longer. It was 15 years ago. I was just his data monkey and web developer.

#9 I've been an HP fan all of my life, until now. I had two HP printers before this third one - an HP LaserJet M401n. It sucks big hairy donkey balls, and it will be the last HP printer I'll ever buy, and once I'm done with it, I'd like to take it and drop it from the 32nd floor of a building so I can see it hit the ground at the same speed that Hans Gruber did.

Yippe kai-yay...

#10 The evil printer that was destroyed in Office Space was, I think, an HP

#12 HP is a once great American company that is now a mere retailer of Chinese-built computers and printers.

#13 Thanks Ulu. Was trying to summarize a list of destruction from an extensive Wiki article. I also missed Al Qaeda.

#18 It looks like Mayor Buttigieg served honourably and intelligently, European Conservative. From his Wikipedia page:

From 2009 to 2017, he served as a naval intelligence officer in the United States Navy Reserve, attaining the rank of lieutenant. In 2014, he was deployed to Afghanistan for seven months and was awarded the Joint Service Commendation Medal.[5]
...
Buttigieg joined the U.S. Navy Reserve through the direct commission officer (DCO) program and was sworn in as an ensign in naval intelligence in September 2009.[47] In 2014, he took a seven-month leave during his mayoral term to deploy to Afghanistan.[48][49][50] While there, Buttigieg was part of a unit assigned to identify and disrupt terrorist finance networks. Part of this was done at Bagram Air Base, but he also worked as an armed driver for his commander on more than 100 trips into Kabul. Buttigieg has jokingly referred to this role as "military Uber", because he had to watch out for ambushes and explosive devices along the roads and ensure that the vehicle was guarded.[51] In order to better communicate with the local Afghans, he learned some Dari (a dialect of the Persian language). Buttigieg was awarded the Joint Service Commendation Medal[5] and the Joint Meritorious Unit Award[citation needed] and was honorably discharged from the U.S. Navy Reserve in 2017.[52][53]

#19 Joint Service Commendation Medal

These things are like the gold stars the teachers handed out in grade school. Rank and tour awards for keeping (excuse the expression) your nose clean. Basically carrying your personnel file on your chest display. It's 99% automatic unless you PO someone.
