Iran is threatening to get revenge on the United States for killing terror leader Qasam Soleimani. If the regime does retaliate, the Trump administration warned them that they will regret it.
Killing Soleimani last Thursday was a major military victory. As Secretary of State Mike Pompeo explained, the U.S. military had to strike because the Quds Force leader, who had orchestrated attacks on coalition bases in Iraq and the attack on the U.S. embassy in Baghdad, was planning more attacks on Americans.
But Democrats criticized President Trump's action, asserting that he needed them to sign off on the strike.
"The Trump Admin has conducted strikes in Iraq targeting high-level Iranian military officials and killing Iranian Quds Force Commander Qasem Soleimani without an AUMF against Iran," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi wrote on Twitter. "Further, this action was taken without the consultation of the Congress."
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), who was a military lawyer for 33 years, refuted the Pelosi's declaration in an interview with Fox Business's Maria Bartiromo over the weekend. He told Democrats that Trump "does not need congressional authorization to defend troops in the field in harm’s way."
He also singled out Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), who tweeted that Trump's killing of Soleimani "risks the lives of millions of innocent people."
Last night the President engaged in what is widely being recognized as an act of war against Iran, one that now risks the lives of millions of innocent people.
Now is the moment to prevent war & protect innocent people - the question for many is how, publicly & Congressionally:— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) January 3, 2020
Here's how Graham responded.

"AOC doesn’t know anything about the law of armed conflict, obviously," Graham said. "Every commander in chief has the right to defend our people on the battlefield."

Especially since, again, Soleimani was planning additional attacks on us.
"In AOC’s world, I guess we're supposed to sit back and watch a bunch of Americans get killed," Graham finished. "We’re not the bad guys. The Iranians are the bad guys and if you don’t see that, you’ve missed a lot in the last 40 years."
AOC is ten pounds of sh*t in a five pound bag.
No one has to inform AOC of anything. She’s just a freshman, loudmouthed ex-bartender.
Adding to your description, AOC is typical of democrats in the house.
Her ‘IFF’ circuits are all messed up.
She is an idiot, Boston U should give her a refund.
“AOC is ten pounds of sh*t in a five pound bag.”
Fyi the word used to describe “10 pounds of sh*t in an 8 pound bag” is “Blivit”. I am quite sure this would hold for your description of AOC.
It’s how we know for certain that what the president did was the best thing to do. If the demons ever stop condemning whatever the president does, that’s when we have to be concerned.
Islam is Not compatible with the U.S. Constitution...Muslims should not be allowed to run for any office funded by the United States taxpayer.
Displaced GITMO detainees?
AOC, listen to Ricky Gervais’ wise words of advice:
Get the f*ck off the world stage, sit down and STFU.
Sandy, a bar in the Bronx is calling your name.
They need a bullshit artist to cater to the locals.
hahahahah...
lol Shouldn’t she be living in a barrio somewhere beating clothes to get the dust out of them?
Yeah, who does she think she is?
