Oh yeah, Cocaine Mitch? STFU! Youre full of hot air and you will NEVER file for a declaration of war a against Turkey!
Whats your alternative? You dont really have one so youll stab our President in the back because you dont like that were out of Syria!
Deal with it, you SOB.
This is SO WRONG! The press and others condemned Bush for starting the war in Iraq. The popular consensus is that there was little reason to invade Iraq.
Yet here, where there is even less reason wage war in Syria, Trump is condemned for AVOIDING war. What a bunch of hypocritical morons!!!
Congress is the one to declare war but they run away from their responsibility because they will be blamed.
