At a campaign rally last week in Dover, New Hampshire, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) told her audience that she couldn't think of a good reason why President Trump ordered the recent deadly airstrike on Iranian terror leader Qasem Soleimani.
"Why not a month ago?" she asked. "Why not a month from now?"
She ventured a guess and concluded that it was pure politics.
"One of the questions I raised just right after this came out, does this have anything to do with the fact that Donald Trump is right on the eve of an impeachment hearing?" she asked.
Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) had a better answer.
"Okay Elizabeth Warren, I've got an answer for you," Crenshaw said on Fox News. "The reason why now is that Soleimani just orchestrated an attack on our embassy, killed an American citizen, and we had very good intel from the CIA, from the DNI, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff. They said it was the best intel they've ever seen. That there was an imminent attack coming within days."
"So Elizabeth Warren, that is why," he added for emphasis.
We know Warren didn't miss the news about the attack on the U.S. embassy in Baghdad. Iran-backed militia members and supporters tried to force their way in to the compound last month, and it wasn't until President Trump sent in reinforcements that the mob retreated.
But Warren isn't the only Democrat pointing fingers at the president for Iran's aggression. Rep. Jackie Speier (D-CA) claimed that the president's "saber-rattling" is to blame for the downing of a Ukrainian airliner that had just taken off from Tehran last week. All 176 people onboard perished. Iran admitted it had shot down the Ukrainian plane, albeit " unintentionally ."
“If what is being projected is true, this is yet another example of collateral damage from the actions that have been taken in a provocative way by the president of the United States," Speier charged .
"That's such a disgusting and deplorable accusation," Crenshaw said on Fox.
Soleimani is responsible not only for helping to plot the attack on the U.S. embassy, but other strikes on coalition bases in Iraq, some of which have killed U.S. contractors.
Still, Sen. Warren has had a heck of a time even calling Soleimani a terrorist. She got halfway there on "The View," but felt the need to some more context to her answer and left us even more confused.
At Warren's recent campaign rally in Dover, an angry attendee accused her of "siding with terrorists."
It’s called ‘actionable intelligence’, Sen. Lizzy .. something she has no concept of in her tiny little brain,, a form of whack-a-mole,, only more personal.
The right time is when you know where he is and you have assets in place.
Amen. The word intelligence may as well be a foreign language word when it comes to Lizzy.
These clowns are plum dumb... every single day the sun rises... is another golden opportunity for them to show the world just how stupid they are.
Wow, that's really masterful how Trump managed to get an Iranian General to attack our embassy and be in the right place and time to be killed just for Trump's convenience. It's almost like Trump was following John Kerry right to the target.
They have been accusing Trump everyday for the last three years. They can accuse him of a distraction whenever he does anything.
Much of the public sees clearly that the Democrats are against President Trump 100%.
If Donald Trump opposes Iranian terrorists who kill Americans, then the Democrats support Iranian terrorists who kill Americans. Of course.
And this ignorant Fake Indian wants to be our CIC, fellow Americans.
I'd prefer to say that the shooting down of the airliner was collateral damage caused by Iran's murder of our contractor and attack on our embassy.
Yep...Your post says it all about Lizzy, she’s definitely mentally challenged.

"Why not a month ago?" she asked. "Why not a month from now?"
Why? Because she's stupid. Oh, the question wasn't, 'why did she even try that lie?'.
Jackie Spier, another waste of oxygen from CA, really thinks that Pres. Trump’s words from Washington DC brought down that airliner? Of course not. She just wanted to get msm face time. The more anti-Trump the comment,the more coverage it gets.
I can’t believe that these leftist loonies are doubling down on their support for the terrorist leaders of the Iranian regime. Someone needs to explain to these nuts that the three things they cherish most — drugs, alcohol, and homosexuality — are illegal in Iran, and homosexuality is punishable by death.
Fauxcahontas knows that Trump did the right thing. She has to lie about it. Even she doesn’t believe what she says.
Plus the target was isolated, no collateral casualities. Dramatically different from when 0bama hit a wedding party and killed dozens of others besides the target.
I have a better answer, “because he needed killin’”.
One could ask Liz what caused her to start falsely claiming she had legal Indian heritage. Why then ? Heck, why at all Liz ?
Exactly! The precision was impressive - it had to be done in a very small time frame.
