Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Friday the attack that killed Iranian military leader Gen. Qasem Soleimani was in response to an “imminent attack.”
The agency warned Americans to stay away from the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad and suspended all public consular activities "until further notice." In a statement, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said the airstrike"risks provoking further dangerous escalation of violence," and was carried out without proper congressional authorization. Pelosi called on the Trump administration to brief Congress on the situation.
House Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Rep. Eliot Engel, D-N.Y., said he was"deeply concerned about the repercussions" of the airstrike and called it a"massive escalation in our conflict with Iran." Soleimani was a murderer, responsible for the deaths of thousands, including hundreds of Americans. But this reckless move escalates the situation with Iran and increases the likelihood of more deaths and new Middle East conflict. Our priority must be to avoid another costly war.Senator Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and a close Trump ally, struck a more hawkish tone.
Its dejavu
Why would we believe lying Pompeo? He can't think for himself...go along to get along with Trump at the sacrifice of our troops!
Can it be a response if it hasn’t happened yet?
I'm just glad there's someone who will wage war on terriosts instead of funding their agenda!
Lie...
You guys must stop watch Rambo movies.
This is Republican government lying to the US people again, just so they can start another unjust war. If you are a Democrat don't sign up for the armed forces, let republicans fight their own unjust wars. Republicans, send your children/grandchildren to fight your unjust wars!
And we don’t believe it because.......oh, yeh. Your track record !
Ron Howard V/O: But it really wasn't.
PROVE IT!!!!
Nnnnnope. Shouldn't we have at least sent Hans Blix first?
So we are supposed to take your word without any evidence of that
Im sorry but I don't trust you to tell the truth.
Sorry, you misspelled “in response to impeachment and an upcoming election.”
Just like how Iraq had weapons of mass destruction! Pretty convenient!
And by killing the general we are bound to see the loss of life in Iraq, in Iran and of US personnel.
We have a right to see the evidence.
SecPompeo is obviously lying.
How do you respond to something that hasn’t happened?
oh, word?
Saying it was so does not make it so.
See this is what happens when an administration lies about EVERYTHING. You can NEVER take them at their word.

Soleimani, a general who became Iran icon by targeting USFor the U.S., Maj. Gen. Soleimani was a shadowy figure in command of Iran’s proxy forces and behind the deaths of American troops in Iraq. For Iranians he widely represented a figure of national resilience in the face of four decades of U.S. pressure. He was a terrorist thug. And now he represents a wormy corpse on the way to meet Satan. Follow the money. 'Saudi Arabia, I get along with all of them. They buy apartments from me. They spend $40 million, $50 million. Am I supposed to dislike them? I like them very much.' - Benedict Donald
