Judge Jeanine: Soleimani Killing “Needed To Happen…Trump Was The Man To Do It”

Fox News has more to say:

In her opening statement on “Justice with Judge Jeanine” on Saturday night, host Jeanine Pirro reacted to the killing of Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani, the head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' elite Quds Force the day before, saying it “needed to happen and President Donald Trump was the man to do it.”

The Pentagon confirmed the game-changing U.S. military attack that killed Soleimani and other military officials at Baghdad International Airport on Friday. On Saturday, Pirro thanked the president for carrying out the airstrike that killed Soleimani.

“Everyone knew the blood of Americans was on his hands responsible for the murder of more than 600 American service members and thousands of others whose blood and limbs were spilled and left on the sands of the Middle East,” Pirro said. 

“He implemented the explosive devices capable of piercing through our American armor. His ruthless reign of terror was celebrated and legendary against Americans, our allies and Muslims would have continued had this monster not been stopped.”

Soleimani was the long-running leader of the elite intelligence wing called Quds Force – which itself has been a designated terror group since 2007, and is estimated to be 20,000 strong.

“The president did not risk a single life in his effort to eliminate this sadistic beast who, according to all reports as well as his history, was a clear and present danger to America,” Pirro said in her opening statement on Saturday.

Mediaite also said:

Earlier this week, Trump ordered an airstrike that killed Soleimani, the leader of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Quds Force. Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei vowed “severe revenge” in response to the strike. Iraqi President Barham Salih, a strategic partner to the U.S. in the region, has said he’s “deeply concerned” about what happens next.

“Everyone knew the blood of Americans was on his hands, responsible for the murder of more than 600 American service members and thousands of others whose blood and limbs were spilled and left on the sands of the Middle East,” she continued. “The president did not risk a single life in his effort to eliminate this sadistic beast who, according to all reports as well as his history was a clear and present danger to America.”

Pirro went on to claim Trump “means what he says and says what he means.”

“Whether they’ll admit it or not, all Americans should be thankful, our allies should be thankful. Indeed, the world should be thankful for the removal of the world’s most dangerous terrorist,” Pirro continued. “This day has been 40 years in the making.”
