Ridiculous.
I’m shocked we actually had the fortitude to actually do it. We have a long history of using treaties and the constitution as a suicide pact .
Iran getting the bomb could not be allowed to happen. This is a fact not in dispute.
As CIC, he had the authority. Now Congress is going to horn in like some slack jawed district judge.
Tell it to Sweeney
“I will bless those who bless you,
and whoever curses you I will curse;
and all peoples on earth
will be blessed through you”
Genesis 12:3
“ Obama doing it ...”
Obama wouldn’t do it.
He would send them money.
There is a time and place to confront evil.
Ever since the Korean War, Article II, Section 2 of the Constitution – which refers to the president as the “Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States” – has been interpreted this way.

The Islamic Republic of Iran declared War on the "Big Satan" decades ago.
“Some would go berserk if this was Obama doing it ..”
Except Obama didn’t do it. Instead he freed up billions of dollars in frozen funds for his Mullah best buddies in Tehran. All the better to foment revolutionary Islam outside of Iran’s borders.
Now it appears that the Mullah Fan Club has another wing of useful idiots, this time wrapping themselves in the sacred texts of Saint Ayn Rand.
There’s always the War Powers Act. Try it.
You got it in two.
But it makes Bolton, John McCain, Tel Aviv, AIPAC and Lindsey Graham super happy.
As the late Joe Sobran liked to point out, the Constitution poses no threat whatsoever to our current form of government.
AGREED
Uh -- whut?
Its not unconstitutional. 🙄
[[Some would go berserk if this was Obama doing it ...]]
Nah- we’da celebrated Iran getting knocked on their collective rumps- However, Obama did NOT bomb them- he let them have $80 BILLION DOLLARS as a present to use toward their nuclear bomb enterpise and for terrorism- THAT is what peopel were pissed abotu when it comes to obama aND ILK
Maybe we can start deleting Iran centric executive orders dating back to Carter now

I know one of the men who was on the rescue mission. I’m sure he’s cheering heartily tonight.
Right, only President Trump could do it this way.
President Trump is America First. The clowns here are Iran First which is infuriating given Iran attack the USA on November 4, 1979. I wish JimRob would zot all of them rather than give them space for their pro-Iranian propaganda.
