Boston Globe via Getty Images DERRY, NH - AUGUST 19: U.S. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump hugs an American flag as he takes the stage for a town hall meeting in Derry, New Hampshire, August 19, 2015. The tweet, which contained no words, was an apparent jingoistic confirmation of the U.S. assassination mission, which also killed Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, a pro-Iranian militia leader in Iraq. The White House issued a similar statement but provided no information about the legal justification for the attack or plans to mitigate the risk of blowback. “A flag is not a strategy,” Samantha Power, former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, tweeted. “The assholes start a war with Iran and tweet out clip art,” Tommy Vietor, former spokesperson for President Barack Obama, tweeted.
