Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY) ripped into Speaker of the House Nancy Pelsoi (D-CA) on Thursday for labelling the airstrike president authorized that killed Iranian general and terrorist leader Qassem Soleimani, the commander of the Quds Force, as a "disproportionate" reaction to the attack on America's embassy in Iraq.
Kataib Hezbollah leader Abu Mahdi al-Mohandes was also killed in the same airstrike. The two were in a car at Baghdad's international airport. The airstrike was in response to Iranian proxy militias launching rockets that resulted in the death of a U.S. Defense Department contractor.
"I raise in total support of the decision to remove Qassem Soleimani. I've heard the use of the word 'disproportionate' from the Speaker," Zeldin said. "I've heard it today on the House floor and it's just a shocking word to use to describe what took place and it makes me ask the question: At what point is it proportionate to take out a designated terrorist who kills 600 U.S. troops, wounds thousands of others, kills and wounds troops recently, his proxies attack a U.S. embassy."

Somebody is confused. Taking out the general was in retaliation for the Iranian backed militias in Iraq killing a US civilian contractor working in Iraq, and previous Americans targeted and killed by the general. The attack on the US Embassy was allegedly a protest, again by Iranian backed militias in Iraq, for the killing of the general. There has been no retaliatory acts, other than increased sanctions, against Iran for the attack on the Embassy or the ineffective missiles fired at the US military. The attack on the Embassy has not been accounted for, proportionate, or otherwise.
