On October 20, 2011, an excited Pelosi 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. 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. Pelosi hailed the killing just after news broke of Gaddafi’s October 2011 death. She released the following statement on her Congressional website:Today’s news marks the next phase of Libya’s march toward democracy. Pelosi further supported the Obama White House’s military actions in Libya but also called for continued consultation between the president and Congress on the matter.
