The Bigger Waste

Slain Iranian general Qassem Soleimani reportedly penned a note shortly before his death in which he asked God to accept him and stay by him.

Soleimani left the paper in his room in Damascus on Thursday before flying to Baghdad, the country’s semi-official Mehr news agency reported.

The remains of Qassem Soleimani, the Iranian military commander killed in a US drone strike, were apparently placed in a cardboard box and flown out of Iraq across rows of passenger seats, new video shows.

The recording shot aboard a Mahan Air flight and posted on Twitter appears to show Soleimani’s coffin and those of others killed in the attack on an Airbus from Mashhad to Mehrabad Airport in Tehran — as a tribute video plays on one of the plane’s screens.

And while we are doing an informal poll, which evil dude wore it better?

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei

And in case any of you feel it in poor taste to make fun of him and the people mourning him, I will never stop such mocking - it is one of our most effective (and only) weapons against such evil.
