Charles Lister (c.v. here) commenting on the Politico article, along the lines of your "cat herder":

.@hxhassan is spot on here -- #Soleimani's greatest strength was his mastery of the #MiddleEast's dominant trend: "non-state actors" in pursuit of #Iran's strategic interests.

The U.S. needs to learn his lessons & adapt, or risk losing further.https://t.co/c3TjyLd5Be pic.twitter.com/9L0EglGvbH

Interesting to read; the headline is misleading. Basically "sources say" Bolton and Pompeo pressed him to choose this Pentagon plan after the drone brouhaha, and he said no, only if they kill an American. One cannot clearly tell from the article how many of the sources verified exactly that. Must say it sounds like him, though, a simple minded red line, consequences be damned.
