7. Trump chose a more moderate option which involved the Dec. 29 strikes on the positions of an Iranian-backed militia. Then came the protest at the gates of the US embassy in Baghdad: https://www.nytimes.com/reuters/2019/12/29/world/middleeast/29reuters-iraq-security-usa.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share …

Good thread until the very end, which is raw speculation and distracts from the reporting prior.

Yet unlike most, she saves it for the end and couches the speculation in speculative terminology thereby identifying it to the reader as pure speculation, thus guaranteeing that no thinking reader will ever mistake it as "reporting", thereby robbing it of any ability to distract.

I guarantee you that Netanyahu had a major role in this. This assasination and the forthcoming ensuing chaos serves no one at this stage except Netanyahu and Trump with their snowballing legal issues.

In 7 & 8 you said Trump chose a moderate option but switched to killing Suleimani (far out option) when the embassy was attacked. Mentioning impeachment thus struck me as “far out.”

Totally agree. Really, really bizarre way to finish given she’d already provided the exact timeline. The impeachment saga has been going on for months.

Well, perhaps the breach of the US embassy might just possibly have something to do with the timing.

The right’s obsession with Benghazi may have played a role. They blamed Suleimani for the embassy attack and Trump wanted to show there will be no “Benghazi” on his watch. Regardless of how deserving, killing an adversary’s military leader for a campaign theme is just wrong.
