Nancy Pelosi Says Obama Did Not Need Congress’s Approval for Libya Strikes

The articles agree that Pelosi previously defended President Barack Obama’s Libya strikes without congressional authorization and that her position is being compared with her criticism of President Donald Trump’s Iran strikes. Right-leaning outlets frame the contrast as evidence of inconsistency; Fox News also reports that Pelosi’s office says the operations differ in scale and duration.
