So we have another President that believes they can simply launch attacks against other nations whenever the feel like it.

Obviously, as the Cdr and Chief, any president is empowered to use our military in defense of vital US interests and people. And that without congressional authorization.

Can he do the same on offense to promote vital US interests is the question.

Also, does the authization of force in Syria from Congress include this action? My guess is that it probably is written in such a way that it actually does. We sent Rangers and artillermen there a few weeks ago. Obviously, not for a checkers tournament.

I will always support our troops. No question.

I do not want another depose-a-dictator war in the mid-east, though. Imo, we should focus on winning the wars we already are engaged in.
