Time to go public with Soleimani attack intel

After watching the public reaction to Soleimani’s murder followed by vows of revenge by Iran, we are apparently on the brink of war. At this point it seems obvious that we need to go public with the intel we have showing the imminent attack that was being planned against Americans.

This intel should clearly show the world that Soleimani was a clear and present danger and we had no choice but to go outside of protocol and assassinate him. Do you agree? Thoughts?
I agree in general, and I think the world would accept solid evidence (except for those who won't accept anything for other reasons).

The problem is always this: Exposing critical intel may also expose the methodology we used to acquire it. So reporting it may be counter-productive, and leaving it out might not be persuasive. A Catch-22.

What I'd like to see is leaders from the opposing party being shown the intel, and then coming out in favor of what happened. Unfortunately, I really can't trust them to be honest (regardless of the party), so that might be a waste of time, too.

Maybe having another country come out in support after seeing the intel might work. It's a shame that it's so difficult to trust people in such critical times.
.
I agree, wouldn’t want to compromise sources and methods but the stakes are pretty damn high here and I see a country morning the loss of a highly respected general who we assassinated. They are vowing retribution which could very well lead to war. War involves not just our country but likely our allies so it is imperative to share our intel with our congress and our allies.

There are factions in Congress with which it would be unwise to share information. They cannot be trusted. That's a fact.

Europe ran to the arms of socialism almost as soon as the Wall came down. Our allies are changing seats.

Don't be stupid. Intel revealed shows how intel was gathered. General Sulu played a calculated game and lost.
The stakes are too high, we are talking about war with Iran. There is a time to show our cards and this is one of those times. The kill needs to be justified and explained
They especially need to show that we have steady deliberate leadership. Not seeing it at this point.
 
The imminent attack excuse does not make sense. This man was a general in charge of a large international operation. Killing him does practically nothing to stop any ongoing operation that we can assume was handled through whatever command structure that exists. They are lying. Someone else will be promoted to his position and Iran has a new martyr to rally around. You can't kill martyrs.
you also do not know about history or military history
..there are great generals and there are idiot generals...if they replace him with an idiot general--that's good
Looks like you think we are dealing with the military retards who worked for Saddam. You'll see we are dealing with something way harder to defeat if Trump can't find some way to deescalate things.
hahahha-Iran is also a shithole like the rest of the Middle East
......Iraq had one of the largest, combat EXPERIENCED armies in the world--much more combat experience than the US forces -----yet we went through them like a hot knife through butter ...and Iran didn't defeat Iraq in the YEARS long Iran-Iraq War
So if it was so easy why has this ben going on for nearly 20 years and 2 trillion dollars.

The snag is there is no intelligence to go public with – no compelling evidence that Soleimani was a clear and present danger justifying he be assassinated.

Soleimani was killed for political reasons, not strategic.

Indeed, the attack has only further destabilized the Region, placed American interests and allies in greater jeopardy, and increased the likelihood of war in the ME.
At this point we don’t know either way. I hope to God you are not right because if this was a political move then it’s going to be a disaster. I don’t think it was though. To many people would have to lie and cover up for the immanent threat story.

Poor Communists, you lost a close ally. We understand that you are inconsolable. It's no different than had we killed bin Laden prior to 9-11, you're outraged..
As usual you have no clue what you are talking about. Sorry that I’m not pumped to go to war with Iran. I have a little more respect for our troops than that.

No one is going to war. It was a surgical strike that took out a terrorist leader who was supported by Barack Obama. This hurts the party in the upcoming elections and the war bullshit is a desperate attempt to spin this away from a total win for Trump and the Americans.
 
The killing of Soleimani in particular – and Trump’s wrongheaded policy concerning Iran in general – will do nothing to bring about regime change; it will only strengthen the position of the hardliners, foment support for the government among the people, and justify Tehran’s anti-American rhetoric.

well perhaps our leader should focus more on building trust and cooperation instead of sewing hate division... it’s time like these when we need allies and unity. Tough when nobody trusts a thing our POTUS says

You do not know what you are talking about. I can guarantee that the realist generals who have to actually conduct a war are sweating bullets. Not saying that Iran can win but they will make victory so expensive that it seems like a defeat.

You obviously haven’t been paying attention to the reaction overseas. At this point I don’t know why I’d expect you to be informed before coming to these discussions

Neither am I. I consider troops and occupation to be the weakest and most dangerous way to deal with terrorist-sponsoring nations in the Middle East.

Stop fucking around. If war, destroy their infrastructure (and the offending government) as completely as possible and come home. Don't be Mr. Helpful and build schools and hospitals and soccer arenas for them. Warn them that the rest is at risk should they want to play further.

..that's EXACTLY what they said about PG1--with the ground attack that lasted about a month

It don’t make a lot of sense but it the reasoning the admin is going with which is why I think the intel needs to be made public

NOPE
There’s lots of “intelligence” the public should never be privy to. If filthy LefTards will feel fucked off by the Trump admin for not sharing this bit of intel my bet is he won’t release it.
intel that starts a war is pretty damn important don’t you think? WMDs ring a bell? In retrospect don’t you think that intel should have been shared and verified?

Have you ever requested to see the “intel” that may explain why Mexicrats want to keep Mexico’s people flowing in despite their propensity to suck the taxpayer tit, to pillage, rape and murder Americans?
Who fucks us over more....Iran or Mexico?

We can't get the name of the alleged "whistle blower" in the Trump impeachment and you want intel on an ongoing military operation to be made public? You have it backwards don't you?

....hahahhahaha--key word is ''respected''' ---as in the Iranians respect him ----like the Germans respected hitler and Heydrich
hahahhahahahahahahaha
here-- research this jackass Soleimani bastard
Heydrich [ Soleimani ] assassinated

Building trust? It would be the height of madness to trust that which we spent half the 20th Century defeating. Consider Merkel. She's destroyed her own country. What would be the advantage?

For the same reason Vietnam went on and on and on.
