I wouldn’t expect this all to get sorted out overnight just to keep the likes of CNN happy (an impossible task anyway).
Wait a week or so and we will know what is planned then. By both sides.
I just dont understand the overall strategy.
Iran wants us out so they can move in and have bigger influence.
They start planing terrorist attacks in Iraq against US to try to force us to leave.
We respond by killing a Iran commander in Iraq and then give Iran what they wanted (Us to leave)?
In addition - we now have to wait for Iran’s retaliation, look week and lose even more influence if we leave now, and gave Iran a excuse to pull out even more of the Nuke deal, that even though we withdraw from, they were still part of with the rest of the world.
If our goal was to get out (and im not even saying that is wrong) we could have started that process 2 weeks ago. If we wanted to pull out and punish the guy - We could have started pulling out a few weeks ago and still killed him.
Killing the guy is not a bad thing - but it sure seems like we had no plan on what to do after. So far - everything that happened after seemed to be predictable - so why does it seem to be catching us of guard?
