I'm sure they'll be willing to share that intel and all decision-related materials leading up to the strike with appropriate House committees. /s

The Defense Department characterized the strike as “decisive defensive action to protect U.S. personnel abroad" and said in a statement that Suleimani "was actively developing plans to attack American diplomats and service members in Iraq and throughout the region."

Also, How long until we until find out Trump was fed intel by Putin on this directly during his Christmas phone call? Putin is in the middle of selling weapons to Iran and meddling in the affairs of Ukraine...

And why would Putin want this guy dead? Put on your tin foil hat and get back to me.

I see Nancy didn't get any smarter during the holiday recess.

Back when you were a Republican, were you hopping mad when Barack Obama ordered the strike against Osama bin Laden on Pakistani soil without Congressional approval immediately beforehand?

I was.

So does this mean you are hopping mad at what Trump did?

If Donald Trump took a gun and shot Putin in the head, I think that many here would claim that this was just another plot put in place by Putin to be undertaken by his puppet Trump.

How does killing this general hurt Putin in any way? Seeing the spike in oil prices, I only see positives for him.

No. Because I think such a requirement would be utterly inane. I was happy that Barack Obama killed Osama bin Laden without Congressional approval. I am happy that Donald Trump killed Suleimani without Congressional approval.

So then why did you ask that poster about Obama and assume he's being partisan?
 
The President, for better or for worse (I think it's perhaps for worse), does have a wide berth of power when it comes to using the military.
 
Pelosi calling a decision made by the Trump administration into question. I’m shocked...

As opposed to obtaining Congressional approval? Why does not obtaining Congressional approval make you happy?
 
This discussion is completely missing the point. This isn’t about a President’s authority to carry out a strike without Congressional authority, and this isn’t about a past President’s actions in doing the same thing. This is about Trump carrying out a strike without Congressional authority, because it’s highly likely that he has not thought through any of the long term ramifications of his action and he has no plan for the future.
 
Pelosi needs to hear two things

1. he didn't need authorization.
2. **** off bitch

Sorry dude, Trumps the president. Elections have consequences. Next time put up a better candidate. You know, like Biden :lamo
 
Trump couldn't risk the security of the operation by letting information out to unreliable people such as Pelosi and Schiff. Better to keep the operation secure, and let them know about it afterwards.

As Trump is mentally unbalanced MANY of us question his motives.

Once again, Pelosi, Schumer, Schiff, and the rest of the Democratic clown car are happy to demonstrate the double standard. Politics before country always with these partisan fools.

I didn't see any of them condemning dear leader for not asking for congressional permission when he decided to secretly take OBL out. Did you?

When a president does not regularly attend and/or prepare for security briefings; when a president seeks advice from entertainers; when a president is so incurious that he had little concept of the ME 2 years ago; when the president has alienated longtime allies and denigrated their leaders; when the president is well known for divulging highly classified information to the public and to our adversaries to the point where it has likely affected our nation's ability to receive critical intelligence from foreign sources; when the president has all but decimated the State Department; when the president has alienated American intelligence agencies; when the president's foreign policy, in its 4th year, remains yet to be determined then it is definitely for the worse.
