Two quick thoughts.
1) we didn’t kill two Iranian generals in Iraq
2) if Iran shouldn’t be in Iraq why are we in Iraq

I don't follow you on #1
As for #2, if we leave a void there now, the world is going to be waking up to ISIS atrocities again on a daily basis. Kind of stuck there until some other coalition members step up for a more equal share of the burden. |

As well as that, I believe it is entirely legitimate to have an embassy in Iraq. |

Concerning to hear the negative feedback from the briefing today by BOTH sides, which on the surface seems to indicate history may be repeating. Manipulating or misinterpretation of intel took us into the Iraq war in the first place and this appears possibly to be similar. Frankly I don’t regret that dirt bag was taken out, but if it were done for a political benefit to Trump, whether it’s distraction for the impeachment or whether hawks have gotten his ear, our service men and women shouldn’t be pawns in someone’s political chess game.

Would it make you feel better if he said one general and one terrorist leader. 
Not to late for you to get that sympathy card in the mail.
