Pompeo practically laughs at idea Iran terror general was slain on 'peace mission'
t barely passed the laugh test.
A murky story that Iranian Maj. Gen. Qassem Soleimani – a man who devoted his life to spreading slaughter – was killed while pursuing a peace mission drew mockery Tuesday from Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.
Speaking at a news conference, Pompeo fielded a question on the topic with barely concealed contempt.
"Anybody here believe that?" Pompeo asked reporters. "We know that wasn't true."
