The traitor class has been particularly vocal ever since Qasem Soleimani was killed. The ever-winsome Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) tweeted Friday: “We are outraged the president would assassinate a foreign official, possibly setting off another war without Congressional authorization and has zero plan to deal with the consequences.” Wait, what? Soleimani was a “foreign official”? Isn’t Ilhan Omar aware that Soleimani was no staid and stolid Iranian “official” sitting bored behind a desk somewhere in Tehran, but was responsible for the deaths of over 600 U.S. soldiers in Iraq? Yes, she does know, and clearly she doesn’t care.
We know that she knows because she adds in the tweet quoted above: “But of course you know that.” She was addressing Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas), responding to his tweet that said: “According the the [sic] Obama Department of Defense, Qasem Soleimani was a terrorist directly responsible for the murder of over 500 US service men & women. Why are congressional Dems outraged that he’s finally dead?”
As it turns out, Cruz was lowballing the actual figure of the U.S. personnel Soleimani had killed, but since Omar was responding to his tweet, she clearly knows that Soleimani wasn’t some milquetoast bureaucrat caught up in the president’s rabid and unrestrained “Islamophobia.”
Nor does Omar’s insistence that she is only “outraged” because Trump acted without congressional authorization stand scrutiny. As Matt Margolis noted here at PJ Media, Alan Dershowitz, who knows a bit about constitutional law, explained that “there’s no doubt” that Soleimani “fit the description of ‘combatant.’ He [was] a uniformed member of an enemy military who was actively planning to kill Americans; American soldiers and probably, as well, American civilians.” The attack was consequently “legally justified.”

Iran has been given an almost consequence-free ride since this odious regime came to power in 1979. They should have been checked back to their own turf many decades ago, as they have done nothing but stir up trouble throughout the Middle East and Europe since the Ayatollah replaced the Shah.
Trump will have to deal with this failure to act, but I am sure he will deal with it. This won’t be an easy situation, there is probably no appetite for full-scale invasion and regime change. The Iranian people (many of whom hate the regime) need to accomplish that. But if they start to rise up, we should not abandon them at that point as Obama did.

Those of us in Minnesota can’t do anything about her. She is from Minneapolistan which is a different world.
I encourage Ilhan Omar to move to Iran. Wouldn’t she more happy there?
Ilhan Omar is totally ignorant of American History.
She does not belong in the U.S. Congress.
Some president did something

LOL!
NO, no, no. Somalia.
A friend of mine just sent me pics of the target site, the only thing left of Soleimani is his torso burned and shriveled and his head burned down almost to the skull. God bless Trump for not hesitating, as the only thing these Islamo-Nazis respect is strength and damn, that is one hell of a “do not F with me” message.
Well, you gotta keep it in perspective. 9/11 was just some folks doing stuff. Trump’s attack against a terrorist mastermind is of course an evil, racist, Islamophobic, act of imperialism. /s
She needs to be investigated, she absolutely is a threat.
Her family reunion is going to have a few less this year
Will no one rid us of this meddlesome moslem?
Jesus is Lord, Omar.
Some people did something, Byatch.
I aint moving there for that.
Yes she is!
As a radical muslim Congresswoman she is a threat to national security thereby making her a threat to every American.
“Ilhan Omar is totally ignorant of American History.
She does not belong in the U.S. Congress.”
She does not belong in the U.S. PERIOD !!!
