[I got the rope]

We have had plenty of time to declare war then. I agree with Massie. We have been there for 20 years with no formal declaration.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Yeah Trump has NOT declared war, in fact they already left, it was a boom boom and done nothing more nothing less

[Salvavida]

220 Marines
18 sailors
3 soldiers

23 October 1983

STFU Massie

[llevrok]

Some would go berserk if this was Obama doing it ...

Recall when Obama "leaked" that he had a hit list of terrorist leaders? Where was the liberal outrage?

[Bob434]

oh yeah, and let’s not forget obama telling the military to stand down when Iran took American ships and made the soldiers kneel- humiliating the US-

Do not compare Pres Trump to obama or anty liberal in office- huge huge difference-

[Lod881019]

Every President has had this authority since Korea under article 2

[af_vet_1981]

Just proving my point; you are another Iranian propagandist.

[cquiggy]

Massive, Makes me ashamed to be from Kentucky !

[af_vet_1981]

What’s your next move, giving the gains of the Mexican-American War of 1848 back to Mexico ? There are far too many antiAmerican traitors posting here.

[Alberta's Child]

So posting factual information makes me a propagandist? LOL.

[RandFan]

Obama took out Gadaffi

Yes I know he did that deal with Iran but so was Trump up until last week

[Leaning Right]

Is the world better off with a defanged Iran? You betcha.

But that’s not the argument here. Everyone would agree that the president has the right to response with force to immediate threats. But that’s not the case here. There was no immediate threat from Iran.

The Constitution gives Congress the exclusive power to declare war. So, yeah. Massie has a point.

Ah, but it’s not so cut and dry. Was this attack an act or war, or was it something less? It’s a debate worth having.

[LeonardFMason]

Trump will NOT send troops. He is NOT Bush.

[Fuzz]

‘ Yeah Trump has NOT declared war, in fact they already left, it was a boom boom and done nothing more nothing less’

Declaring victory too early.

[af_vet_1981]

You are justifying the Iranian attack on the USA. That makes you a traitor in my book.

[Alberta's Child]

I have no idea what the hell you’re talking about.

[RandFan]

You should be proud of your 4th district member and your Senator Rand Paul

A reliable anti-war voice

[Metrobank]

Obama bombed other countries without approval and never heard Massie have a verbal throwup over those!

[escapefromboston]

Can’t remember the last time a president got Congress’s approval to bomb some random country.

How would you argue the constitutionality for all the military operations since WWII that were not approved formally by Congress? According to Dr. Google, “The last war formally declared by the U.S. Congress was World War II. Since then, Congress has authorized military force through resolutions, such as those for the Korean War, Vietnam War, and the “War on Terror”. The most recent example of Congress authorizing military force is the Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) against Iraq in 2002.”
