President Trump ordered the drone strike that killed the Iranian terrorist Qassem Soleimani at the Bagdad International airport.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi blasted Trump’s decision to carry out that attack as “provocative and disproportionate.”
Pelosi has also announced that the House will soon vote on a resolution to limit Trump’s war powers.
Flashback to nine years to October 20, 2011.
Pelosi was excited as she released a statement celebrating the death of
Libya’s Moammar Gaddafi during the Obama administration’s U.S.-led NATO operation targeting Gaddafi’s government.
More from Breitbart News:
Back then, Pelosi did not seek legislation to limit Obama’s war powers during the seven month Libya conflict even though there was no imminent threat against America in that country at the time.
Unlike Soleimani, who was reportedly plotting an immediate attack on Americans, there was no information that Gaddafi was directly threatening the U.S. at the time of his death.
Gaddafi was an extremist with anti-American views who was involved in terrorist bombings in the 1980s but he was not considered an immediate danger to America when he was killed in 2011 during the so-called Arab Spring.
There is no information the U.S. was directly involved in death of Gaddafi, but the strongman was killed as a result of the U.S.-led NATO invasion in Libya.
Pelosi hailed the killing just after news broke of Gaddafi’s October 2011 death.
