Well he's certainly getting a fair bit of press lately.
With all the talk about Iran, Iraq, and Syria on this forum over the years his name has never come up....not once.
Interesting......considering he would appear to possess more influence and/or control in all three countries than probably any other single person on the planet.
Suleimani would appear to be a real life Karla(like out of the John Le Carre novels).
