Pelosi Responds to Successful ISIS Raid, Says House Should Be Told First
The Epoch Times ^ | October 27, 2019 Updated: October 27, 2019 | JACK PHILLIPS

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) issued a statement following the U.S. operation to kill ISIS terrorist leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi on Sunday.

“Americans salute the heroism…and acknowledge the work of our partners in the region. We are relieved that no U.S. personnel died in this daring raid,” she said in a statement. “The death of al-Baghdadi is significant, but the death of this ISIS leader does not mean the death of ISIS. Scores of ISIS fighters remain under uncertain conditions in Syrian prisons, and countless others in the region and around the world remain intent on spreading their influence and committing acts of terror.”

Pelosi, however, again criticized the White House for pulling back troops from Syria earlier this month, saying that “ISIS fighters remain under uncertain conditions in Syrian prisons, and countless others in the region and around the world remain intent on spreading their influence.”

Meanwhile, her statement added, she said the House has to be told about such raids beforehand.

“The House must be briefed on this raid,” she said, adding that “our military and allies deserve strong, smart and strategic leadership from Washington.”

As I said on another thread, NOBODY in Congress should have had a pre-mission briefing on this mission. Full Stop. Pelosi is just playing into Trump's trolling.

Did the Obama White House brief any Congress-critters before whacking Osama Bin Laden?

Maybe he held a secret briefing of a few Republicans, like your fake impeachment?

Nancy and the coup crew were in Jordan on the southern border of Syria.

However, the target elimination was along Syria’s northern border with Turkey.

Dems are geography challenged, IMHO.

It's nice that she has such concerns for those poor, mistreated ISIS fighters.

Pelosi isn't just dumb and crooked... she's also evil.

Absolutely not. This was a military matter. The Constitution specifies the President as the Commander In Chief. He, not the House, provides strategic leadership. And that includes operational security.

Congress has no role in military operations.

They didn’t even tell Obama until the raid was underway

.....and when he arrived in the Situation Room, they had him sit in the corner so he wouldn't be in the way.

We should be allowed time to warn the targets before we give Trump a win...

Uh huh. The person most responsible for the super-secret impeachment charade is now demanding transparency? Sure thing, Nan. Trump was very specific about why he kept this close to his vest as he should have and as he has every right and obligation to: disgraceful, treacherous leaking from the Democrats who would have been delighted to sacrifice a few lives and blow the mission to use it as a political weapon against the President.

You don’t warn the enemy of your plans.

Did she cite the law that requires House notification?

She brought this on herself. She and her House leaders are unrelentingly hostile to the President and would do anything to take him down.

“our military and allies deserve strong, smart and strategic leadership from Washington.”

This just supports the reasoning of not telling the House.

She is still in “mild” phase where she has good days and bad. Docs probably have had her on aricept and/or other drugs to try to stave it off. She may also be on an anti-psychotic used as a mood stabilizer but can cause tardive dyskinesia.

None of that matters until her judgement begins to go. If Trump is aware of her problems, which he hints at, it would be impossible to trust her access to military battle plans in advance. Sigh.
