I cannot imagine a someone in the military that we would have to in the middle of these potential strikes with the intelligence coming together, and the decisionmaking of the commanderinchief that we would have to go to 435 other people in the moments in order to protect americans. This strike was clearly authorized, soleimani was an evil man, he was a terrorist leader, it was legitimate lawful target. B5 democrats singing a different tune or looking at putting a scandal on the president. Chuck schumer and bob menendez are saying its critical to the National Security matters are shared with the American People in a timely manner.
