The president can do this. It was Constitutional.

I see the NeverTrumpers at NR are busy these days.

Pure hose shite!

[usafa92]

Really? Still feel the need to post garbage from the Never Trumpers at NR about somethimg that happened almost a week ago?

[JBW1949]

So every president since Roosevelt has went against the Constitution by not having Congress declare war????

Uh-huh.....

[ConservativeMind]

"...And to let it pass, especially given this president’s authoritarian tendencies, is to invite grave danger. This act of war..."

He did not declare war, nor has Syria declared war on us.

[Brilliant]

So why wasn’t it an unconstitutional act of war when Obama did this?

[jazusamo]

Still poking the owner of this site in the eye, are you?

Give your BS a rest.

[DoughtyOne]

Then Reagan’s strike on Libya was an un-Constitutional declaration of war.

So many idiots. So little time.

Instead of backing Trump, here we are carping just like the Soros folks, the Democrats, the MSM.

[DonPaulJonesII]

Take your Trump hating garbage and shove it right up your smelly Obama hole Loser. I am so sick of a-holes such as you. Drop dead and go to hell.

[jazminerose]

War Powers Act. The President can deploy troops for sixty days without Congress in an emergency. We have 1000 Americans on the ground in Syria.

[yoe]

Was Bill Clinton's bombing that aspirin factory a declaration of war? Had not President Trump taken the bull by the horns, as it were, all the despots in the world would gas their citizens...just because they could.

Bravo President Trump...he didn't wiggle his way out of a disgusting crime against humanity...he didn't blame it on a video either!!!

Welcome to the real world! Syria has been a PIA for decades!

U.S. BATTLESHIP POUNDS HILLS HELD BY SYRIANS IN LEBANON; BRITAIN; PULLING OUT TROOPS

The Druse leader threatened retaliation against American civilians in Lebanon if the Navy continued shelling Druse villages.

BEIRUT, Lebanon, Feb. 8 - The United States battleship New Jersey bombarded Druse and Syrian gun batteries in Lebanon for more than nine hours today in the heaviest and most sustained American military action since the marines arrived here 16 months ago.

The gunfire was directed at targets ‘’in Syrian-controlled Lebanon which have been firing on the city of Beirut,’’ a Marine spokesman, Maj. Dennis Brooks, said. The shells fired into the capital had landed in Christian-dominated East Beirut, several miles from the Marine compound at Beirut International Airport.

In Washington, the Pentagon said the destroyer Caron joined in the bombardment, firing more than 300 five-inch shells. It said the New Jersey fired more than 250 16-inch shells.
According to the Lebanese Christian Phalangist radio, the American bombardment pounded artillery and missile batteries from Shuweifat, just south of Beirut, all the way to around Shtaura, 22 miles east of the capital. The radio said 30 Druse and Syrian gun batteries had been knocked out along with a Druse military command post.

Rich Lowrey, Goldberg, et al. neo-cucklehead has-beens unworthy of a once venerable conservative magazine.

Wow, reading this thread I see very intelligent responses one after another. It seems barely possible for a person to go over these thoughts without being enriched intellectually.

[Red Steel]

Did the Duh National Review say it was an “An Unconstitutional Declaration of War” when Reagan bombed Libya?

How about when Reagan was sinking Iranian warships and blowing up their oil rigs?

How about when Reagan invaded the island of Grenada?

Moving on,

How about Operation “Just Cause” the US invasion of Panama to depose Manuel Noriega? The blaring of rock music while Noriega was held up in the Vatican embassy unconstitutional too. ;-)

I remember reading about US troops invading Siberia Russia in the early 1920s on an expedition. I could go on and on...

Hey Paulson was all these military actions through history also unconstitutional?

[crz]

Explain that to Jefferson and Adams. Then get back to us wont you?

And to think jackasses like you would go to Congress while we get into a battle to stop the violation of the “LAW OF NATIONS” and while jackasses like you and Randy Pander Paul stand there and whine and yell about it in the halls of CONgress, the battle would be over and the enemy would be within this country.

That is why we have the WPA. Because the useless twerps in the legislature would take days to decide if any attack would be to our best interest. We aint got “days” in this day and age jackass. We got minutes.

I’m surprised you didn’t post Kevin Williamson’s NR “Censure Trump” article as proof this NR article is spot-on.
