Weak Kneed Pelosi, Schiff And Biden Whine After Trump Kills Iranian General

It did not take long for Democrats to criticize President Donald Trump after he ordered a strike that killed top Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani.

What you need to understand, what Democrats do understand but assume their voters are gullible enough to not comprehend, is that this was a sensitive operation.

Consulting with a Congress that has proven to be prone to leaks prior to such a sensitive strike could have placed American lives in danger.

But that is the tack that many Democrats have taken in criticizing the president and at the top of the list is House Speaker and California Rep. 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.,” she said in a statement,

“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.

“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,” she said.

She was quickly followed by fellow California representative and House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep. Adam Schiff.

“Soleimani was responsible for unthinkable violence and world is better off without him,” Schiff said correctly. But he could not leave it at that.

“But Congress didn’t authorize and American people don’t want a war with Iran,” he said. “All steps must now be taken to protect our forces against the almost inevitable escalation and increased risk.”

Keep in mind that what President Trump did was take out a leader who has killed hundreds, if not thousands, of Americans.

But even former Vice President Joe Biden, whose former boss President Obama dropped around 20,000 bombs on the Middle East, criticized the president.

“President Trump just tossed a stick of dynamite into a tinderbox, and he owes the American people an explanation of the strategy and plan to keep safe our troops and embassy personnel, our people and our interests, both here at home and abroad, and our partners throughout the region and beyond, he said.

“I’m not privy to the intelligence and much remains unknown, but Iran will surely respond. We could be on the brink of a major conflict across the Middle East.

“I hope the Administration has thought through the second and third-order consequences of the path they have chosen.

“But I fear the Administration has not demonstrated at any turn the discipline or long-term vision necessary—and the stakes could not be higher,” he said.

Fear any of these people leading America. They are of the same mindset as former President Jimmy Carter.

They are weak and they are cowards. Like former President Obama, who handed Iran billions, they have no backbone to confront evil in the world.
