Most members of New Mexico’s congressional delegation reacted with ire to President Donald Trump’s drone strike that killed Maj. Gen. Qasem Soleimani, a powerful commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Corps, early Friday at Baghdad International Airport.
Soleimani’s death was first reported by official Iranian media and confirmed by a news release from the Department of Defense that said Soleimani was “actively developing plans to attack American diplomats and service members in Iraq.”
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told CNN that Soleimani had orchestrated an “imminent” attack but would not elaborate where or when the attack was to take place.
Sen. Tom Udall, D-N.M., said the administration committed an act of war without seeking congressional approval and had doubts about the administration’s rationale.
“I think they’re just trying to portray this and posture this in a way to sell it to the American people,” Udall said. “I’m very skeptical that there was an imminent attack that required an assassination of one of the top generals of Iran.”

He said the strike put U.S. personnel and diplomats in danger and escalated the situation.
“We don’t know what kind of reprisals will occur,” Udall said.
Virginia, time to vote the enemies OUT....
Islamic sympathizers.
Democrats faked their 9-11 outrage.
Anti-Americans sure are getting easy to spot.
Very stupid, appeasement inclined, morons
They’re afraid of reprisals? Good thing Democrats aren’t running the White House.
Pathetic little runts.
I hope everyone is taking notes on these self outing domestic enemies.
The more Democrats keep advertising the fact that they’re bedfellows with jihadists, the larger Trump’s margin of victory will be in Nov.
Did New Mexico’s congressional delegation condemn Obama’s killing of Osama Bin Laden? Did they condemn Hillary’s role in the killing of Gaddafi?
Just curious.
Never thought Sen. Tom Udall would bow to terrorists,
would encourage terrorists, and would NOT defend America.
The DNC is a terrorist party and America
should REMOVE their right to vote.
Then why should anyone listen to you?
Only half of the US that have functioning brain cells will notice.
We should have taken Iran out in 79, I when to the Marine recruiting office and gave them my info and told them that if Jimmy pulls the trigger I would reenlist.
Shame on voters who put people into office who are more concerned about the safety of terrorists, instead of the safety of our military?
Dear Democrat Fascist Party Morons
How did the President get the Iranians to attack the US Embassy in Baghdad?
The US performed a flawless direct proportional response to the people who planned, and organized, that internationally recognized act of war. A target which has direct documented links to the assassination of 700 US troops in Iraq and Afghanistan
That you infantile scum are trying to play politics with this is yet another indication of your total unfitness to hold any political office, at any level, anywhere.
Did these anti-Americans condemn 0zero’s strikes...and introduce War Powers Resolutions against 0???
H3ll, no....they are Iran/Islam first, NOT America first.
There wasn’t a lot of outrage about 9/11 from Democrats anyway, except to blame it on America itself. That’s actually when Democrats’ love affair with radical Islam started, and why they voted for a Muslim president only a few years later.
Sen. Tom Udall, D-N.M., said the administration committed an act of war...
Get the rope.
This treasonous talk gets plenty of play in Iran count on it. Nothing like encouraging your enemies when you are on the brink of war with them.
