CALL CONGRESS TO DEMAND OVERSIGHT OF SOLEIMANI ASSASINATION:  Without any Congressional authorization, the Trump administration has assassinated the second most powerful person in Iran, General Soleimani.  https://www.npr.org/2020/01/02/793208096/iraqi-tv-says-top-iranian-military-leader-killed-in-rocket-strikes-on-iraqi-airp and  https://winwithoutwar.org/statement-we-must-pull-back-from-the-brink-of-war/ As a result, we now face the strong possibility of a massive regional war with no apparent plan in place, or competent people to plan our next steps. We can use Celeste Pewter’s script below to call our Reps NOW at (202) 224-3121 and demand accountability, investigations and a plan to deal with the fallout from this rash move. No war without Congressional approval and oversight!

We can also follow Win Without War’s Twitter account for more actions

Also, from one of our own:  if you're looking for expertise on this I highly recommend reading Informed Comment and following Juan Cole on Twitter

@jricole  He's the smartest person I've read on Iran and this region. He's a professor at Michigan, speaks the languages and does daily posts that draw from his expertise and local news sources.  It is orders of magnitude better than anything you'll find in the MSM.  Here’s the link:  https://www.juancole.com/
