Welcome to the Three Martini lunch.

Grab a stole next to Greg Carumbus of Radio America and Jim Garrity of National Review.

Three Martini's coming up.

Glad you're here on the Friday edition of the Three Martini launch.

Jim, we have good, bad, and crazy Martini's for Conservatives today,

and I'm guessing pretty much every single

listener knows what the good martini is going to be. Short-time

listeners, long-time listeners know that one of our favorite martinis is

when really really bad guys get what's coming to them.

And that's exactly what happened at the Baghdad airport on, well, Thursday evening, our time, very early Friday over there.

And that is where the head of the Kud's force, one of the most

dastardly figures in the world, met his fate. Here's the AP version. The United States

killed Iran's top general and the architect of Tehran's proxy wars in the

Middle East in an air strike at Baghdad's international airport early on Friday,

the targeted killing of General Kasam Salamani, the head of Iran's elite

Cud's force, could draw forceful Iranian retaliation against American interests in the region.

We'll get into that in a little bit later in our bad Martini but Jim this is a guy who's been in

this position since the late 90s so a little more than 20 years he's in charge

of orchestrating all of the attacks from Iranian militia groups that targeted

and killed American forces, hundreds of them during the

Iraq war.

He was up to no good again.
