Former Vice President Joe Biden on Friday said he would not have given the order to launch the airstrike that killed Iranian Quds Force Gen. Qassem Soleimani if he was the commander in chief. Biden was asked about the attack during the Democratic presidential debate in New Hampshire. "No, and the reason I wouldn’t have ordered the strike is there isn’t any evidence yet of an imminent strike that was going to come from him," he said while on stage next to his Democratic rivals at Saint Anselm College in Manchester. Soleimani was killed last month in a U.S. drone strike in Baghdad that ordered by President Trump.
