       Wag the Dog IV: Under orders from Commander in Chief Trump, a United states Air Force (private mercenaries) MQ-9 Reaper drone fires on Major General Qasem Soleimani, commander of the Quds Force of the Revolutionary Guard of the Islamic Republic of Iran, killing him and ten others in his entourage.  Trump claimed—without evidence—that Soleimani had intended to “blow up our [Baghdad, Iraq] embassy.”

       NOTE: The truth is Soleimani was in Baghdad seeking to ease tensions in the Islamic State War of Independence.
