This week on the Sunday news shows: Sen. Elizabeth Warren refused to condemn Iranian terror master Qassem Soleimani, retired Army general David Petraeus said President Donald Trump's decision to kill Soleimani may deter future attacks against American assets, and New York Times opinion editor Bari Weiss said the national media have "Absolutely" been slow in their coverage of anti-Semitism.
Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren on Sunday conspicuously refused to condemn Iranian terror master Qassem Soleimani, the deceased military leader responsible for hundreds of American deaths.
In an interview with CNN's Jake Tapper, Warren described Soleimani, the leader of a designated terrorist organization, as "a high-ranking military official" and "Government official."
The Massachusetts senator and Democratic presidential candidate further questioned the timing of the U.S. attack on Soleimani, prompting Tapper to ask whether she was suggesting this was a distraction from impeachment.
Retired Army general David Petraeus on Sunday defended the Trump administration's decision to kill terror master Qassem Soleimani, saying he believes it helped restore the United States's posture of deterrence after repeated provocation by Iran.
"Our $130 million drone was shot down. We did nothing significant in response. Five percent of the world's oil production taken out of operation, numerous attacks on shipping, and then attacks on our forces ultimately, of course, killing an American and wounding four of our soldiers," Petraeus said during an interview on CBS's Face the Nation.
Petraeus told Foreign Policy Magazine on Friday that he believes the killing of Soleimani, who led efforts to consolidate Iranian power throughout the Middle East and was indirectly responsible for hundreds of American deaths, is "More significant than the killing of Osama bin Laden or even the death of al-Baghdadi."
