Nancy Pelosi Whines: No Notification Before Attack on Iran’s Soleimani

Yes, Speaker Pelosi, because we didn’t want you to give the enemy a heads up.

Nancy Pelosi Complains: No Notification Before Attack on Iran’s Soleimani

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) reacted to the successful U.S. airstrike on Iranian General Qassem Soleimani in Iraq on Thursday evening by complaining that Congress was not consulted in advance about it.

In a statement released by the Speaker’s office on Thursday evening, Pelosi demanded an immediate briefing:

American leaders’ highest priority is to protect American lives and interests.  But we cannot put the lives of American servicemembers, diplomats and others further at risk by engaging in provocative and disproportionate actions.  Tonight’s airstrike risks provoking further dangerous escalation of violence.  America – and the world – cannot afford to have tensions escalate to the point of no return.

Story continues below advertisement

The Administration has conducted tonight’s strikes in Iraq targeting high-level Iranian military officials and killing Iranian Quds Force Commander Qasem Soleimani without an Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) against Iran.  Further, this action was taken without the consultation of the Congress.

The full Congress must be immediately briefed on this serious situation and on the next steps under consideration by the Administration, including the significant escalation of the deployment of additional troops to the region.

A spokesperson for Pelosi confirmed that she had not been notified in advance and only spoke to Secretary of Defense Mark Esper after the attack.

Get used to it Pelosi!
I’d bet she and others have our enemies on speed dial to alert them of Trump plans.

Rep. Illad Omar must be really angry. She sits on the
Budget,
Education and Labor, and
Foreign Affairs committees of the House.

Here’s her summary report on 2019. Always looking out for Muslims and anti-American.

Reflecting on a year of progress for Minnesotans
Congresswoman Ilhan Omar -December 22, 2019 6

Our other political Muslim terrorist, Rashida Tlaib, sits of these committees:

House Committee on Financial Services Member,
Subcommittee on Consumer Protection and Financial Institutions Member,
Subcommittee on Housing, Community Development, and Insurance Member,
Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations
House Committee on Oversight and Reform Member,
Subcommittee on Economic and

If Pelosi were informed, she and her treasonous comrades would have forewarned Iran of the prevailing attack. The Democrats are shameless betrayers while professing, they are the alternative Party to lead America; indeed, into a cataclysmic end. Wake up Americans, despotism, Islamism, totalitarianism is one vote away.

Do you have a newspaper article of something documenting that?

Valerie Jarret is not Iranian, nor is she “Iranian by birth” because Iran does not grant birthright citizenship.
She is an American who was born in Iran of two American parents.
Citizenship in Iran is based upon having an Iranian father.

“disproportionate actions?”What a retard to even think she has any idea about global matters. I guess said idiot doesn’t know this terrorist has already murdered over 300 Americans and his sole mission in life was to plan and execute terrorist attacks around the world. And besides, if the president let her know she would have leaked to the media and who knows how many more people this terrorist would have been able to murder thanks to pelosi.

That Omar person needs to read up on what powers the President has instead of publically questioning them. And Pelosi needs to look carefully at herself and her House Democrats as to why the Administration did not tell them about the attack beforehand.

Because they actually wanted to be able to do this mission without the target being forewarned by the Demoncrats, Not attempting to say they would warn the bad guys or Obummer on purpose but a even a veiled hint such as ” run and hide they have a kill squad coming tomorrow” could have been accidentally, as a joke, into a Wish You Were Here xmas card,perhaps. OR just maybe President Trump actually does know who America’s true enemies are.

I do love that picture of Pelosi, it looks like she’s saying she’s “open for business”.

However, pleasure aside, she was just like all the rest of her kind when she made that statement, brassed off that the lefts virtue signalling moral certainty was overcome by the brutal facts on the ground and a President who understood human nature and a jihadist bully better than her and when to “dot” such a person on his nose {as a warning to others}.

IF bombs start going off targeting western civians, don’t blame Trump, blame the religious theocrats of Iran because they will have proved two things by so doing, one that that was always their intention and second they don’t have the military or technical “muscle” they boast of.

Why? Because she would excitedly tell the world before it happened? Have Schiff go running to the press, breathlessly complaining that Trump didn’t get his seal of her approval? Maybe Schumer pontificating to the press?

Would she expect to recall congress to take a vote?

The attack was secret. It was almost an immediate reaction. It was always the prerogative of the president, just like the 500 drone strikes by Obama – including killing US citizens without due process.

The embassy was attacked. Guess who was in town to run the show? Fair game.

For decades Iran has been threatening to blow up the US. If your neighbour kept saying this to you and shot a few of your pets on your land, eventually, since there is no police, you pop his cow when its on your property and leave its head on his porch He might get the point. If he tries something again, kill his bull when it wanders onto your property. He has a .22 bolt action one shot rifle. You have an AR15 and are ex military.

Nice try Nancy, but more and more people are getting familiar with what the Constitution says. So you are wasting your time trying to keep fooling people with your lies. The President is under zero obligation to tell Congress anything about a strike he is planning beforehand. It is not a declaration of war. Worries about what the Mullahs will do is irrelevant. That would be like worrying about what a bank robber, in the process of robbing a bank, will do if you tell him he will be arrested if he robs the bank. The Mullahs are already formally at war with us. We are just not formally at war with them, and we don’t have to be. From now on every time they launch a terror attack, even through a proxy, we will hit them hard, and when we strike back it may be increasingly a harder and harder strike. The Iranian leadership, military, and other facilities will be at great risk, not the Iranian people.
