A lot of foreign-policy wonks and elected officials responded to last night’s strike that killed Qasem Soleimani with an “on the one hand, on the other hand,” tone — expressing satisfaction that a man with blood of so many innocent people and U.S. soldiers on his hands had been killed, but concern for the ramifications of the act.
But not everyone. Here is the statement from House speaker Nancy Pelosi:
“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.”

STFU Nancy. You can barely keep your teeth in let alone evaluate military operations.
Fewer place settings at the next company staff meeting.
Her opinion which doesn’t count for Schitt
Fewer place settings at the next company staff meeting.
Confused and deceived Nancy Pelosi, the poster child of the Delusional Lying Dems who have no reason or accountability.
I strongly suspect Pelosi is getting money from Iran, either directly or indirectly.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Iran has bought half the politicians in Washington using just a few percent of the money Obama gave them.
Soleimani must have been the Dems bag man in Iran. Apart from the usual TDS why else would they be condemning the killing of a high level terrorist who was killing Americans, and was set to kill more!
Murdered Americans but “this was disproportionate”.
And these are the same traitors who claim we sell out to Russia?
Iran is RUSSIA’S ally!
“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.”
Except he DID NOT attack Iran, he attacked a terrorist who was in Iraq.
Soleimani kills 500 AMERICAN SOLDIERS and we kill him and that is ‘disproportionate’?
You gotta really really really hate this president to make a statement like that!
Disgusting comment nancy!
Because they’re evil and they intend to rule an America that becomes a poor weak country.
[[“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]]
Nancy- NOT killing that TERRORIST WAS putting our soldiers at risk- President Trump ended that risk!- Stop the nonsense nancy!
All common man she is a coequal. Just ask her because that’s what she has said. She’s just like the President, don’t ya know.
Killing Qasem Soleimani is “disproportionate”?
This is war, declared or not. There is nothing “disproportionate” about taking out a ruthless enemy commander, who was operating under terrorist rules, including assaults on non-combatants whether they be Americans or not.
Vipers do not play nice.
So I suppose when Obama killed Anwar al-Awlaki, an American citizen (not that he didn’t deserve it), with a drone strike she probably ran over to the White House kissed his butt and told him what a great president he was.
It’s time we conducted an investigation to find out if any demonicRATS have ties to The United States.
How many more people does Nancy think Soleimani should be permitted to kill? A few more dozen? A thousand, say?

Oh yeah0 i forgot to mention- it was you and your ilk that finacned the murders of those 500 soldiers nancy when you and your ilk gave iran $150 billion dollars- where do you think that money went to nancy?
Don’t you dare lecture anyone about protecting soldiers and diplomats! You and your ilk were directly responsible for their deaths because you helped finance their terrorism!
The freakin gall of people on the left- unbelievable!
