The act immediately stoked chaos and confusion among Americans: World War III was trending on Twitter, a calamity made deeper by Karl Rove and Ari Fleischer offering their expert insight on Fox News like 2003 redux. But strangely enough, in the wake of this geopolitical nightmare, Pete Buttigieg and Tulsi Gabbard, two military veterans running for president who have long touted their experience in Afghanistan and Iraq, respectively, have not released official statements about the incident in Iran—even as each of their main opponents condemned/commented upon the assassination.

Tulsi Gabbard made an appearance on Fox News and condemned the Solemani assassination, calling it an “act of war.” But she has yet to release a statement for her 763,000On Twitter, Bernie Sanders said that “Trump’s dangerous escalation brings us closer to another disastrous war in the Middle East that could cost countless lives and trillions more dollars.

President Rouhani calls the killing a heinous crime. Looks like nobody told the embassy what they were about to do. So, how do you get them out of a country where everybody, Sunni, Shiite, you name it, wants to kill them? Will be interesting. Gives U.S. a good reason to leave Iraq altogether.
