I agree. I think the gloves are off now.
The fact that Soleimani and his cadre were moving about freely in Iraq and setting up actions against US facilities speaks volumes to me about the leadership in Iraq right now. They seem to be moving in a direction which is hostile to the US. Not necessarily all of them but enough to make it a dangerous place to be for the US military right now.
Iran isn't going to take this sitting down. They've been testing the US resolve for awhile. I don't think you do that unless you're willing to escalate.
The action against Soleimani was appropriate but unless the US leaves Iraq in the next few weeks I'm afraid we will be well on our way to a war with Iran. I'm curious to see what Trump does. I think he will do the right thing and get us out of that shit hole before things go south.
