Pelosi and Schiff jump to undermine Trump,side with Iranians saying it was "provocative
and disproportionate"....of course.
...and they wonder why they aren't briefed! Pelosi has her answer in her own press release: "“American leaders’ highest priority is to protect American lives and interests,” If Trump had told Pelosi and Schiff, they would have warned the Iranians, leaked to the press, and put our soldiers in danger for their political points. They are so mentally ill with hatred that any enemy of Trump is an ally in their minds.
The POTUS has this latitude as has been shown time and tme again. They know it.

Wow. They should stay silent on this rather than use it for domestic political gain.

Do you welcome war with Iran? Because this is an act of war.
We have had the ability to kill Soleimani many times. We never did, not even during the terrible years in Iraq.
You underestimate how big he was in Iran. This will unify the country against us - all sides, reformers and hardliners. No deal - the thing Trump has always said was the point of the “maximum pressure” campaign - is possible now.
It won’t be a conventional war, with an assault on Tehran. But many people are going to die.
That’s reality.
So you would have allowed him to sit back and plan further attacks on Americans? Pompeo was very
Clear as to his activities. His facts are not in dispute. The Sxtate Dept says that The Guy was directly involved in the planning of attacks of 1/3 of all American deaths to terrorists in the past decade. He was in Baghdad planning further attacks against us. Pompeo has the Intel here, and you and I dont.
I see this more as a predictable matter of trust or you that comes up with every difficult decision Trump must make.
Peace comes though strength. The Iranians will do less when they know that there will be consequences.
Can you please explain to us "how big he is in Iran" and how you know this?
The videos I have seen show people dancing in the streets and celebrating. And people like you, Frank and Brian Stelter are cowering in the basement. I don't care how many times we could have killed him in the past, the fact is, Trump did it. He's not a pussy like Obama.
Frank L was banking on career advancement if HRC won, couldn't do it on merit, no affirmative action

Landing in Baghdad & meeting with his generals to plot attacks v. the US embassy was an act of war.
We acted appropriately.
PS - Here are Iraqis dancing in the streets in celebration.

Sunnis. Iran is Shi’a. Not sure you heard that.
How does this end, Cole?
How are we going to get a “better deal” now?
You really think reformists oppose this, after getting slaughtered by him?
No one knows how this will end, but everyone knows that cowering in fear is the worst thing we could do.
This will unify Iranian political opinion.
I just posted about the “rally ‘round the flag” effect. That’s what is going to happen here.
No “better deal” is possible now.
Come on Chris. We all know that opposing voices in Iran have never had any chance.
If they even still live.
You have a point... after all, even "good Germans" unified around the Nazis during WWII
And good Japanese became Kamikazes when things look dire.
The Left may be worried about Americans rallying around their flag before next year's election.

While I don’t think that includes Chris, it DEFINITELY includes Pelosi and Schiff.

You're wrong. Iranians are posting a pic of his severed hand and celebrating his death.
Watch different media, Chris. Citizen journalism replaced lying and deceitful Big News a long time ago.

Ha! Good one.

Agreed, those two are the bottom of the pile. Used to the mealy mouthed
actions of Obama and Clinton
POTUS does have the latitude. And that is the problem.
Foreign policy from the gut. He is too stupid to know what he doesn't know.
This escapade will not end well for U.S.

I found it again, but I'm skeptical that it's actual video from the attack. Needs confirmation.
