I’ve said this a few times this week for all the grief given to GWB He went to Congress for an authorization.

Trump didn’t even do that

This is the beginning of the end

This is constitutional as the AUMF passed by Congress and signed by President Bush after 9/11 is still in effect, giving the President authority to take military action to stop future terrorist attacks against the US. Iran’s actions can easily be viewed as threatening, even if you totally discount former actions as Iran’s support of the Houthis, which have attacked US naval vessels.

‘ Trump will NOT send troops. He is NOT Bush.’

Should Iran retaliate there will be calls for escalation.

Should their retaliation be effective and kill troops, attack our bases, etc and he ignores the calls to attack again and let Iran get away with it, he might as well reign and never show his face in public again.

Maybe move to Russia and move in with Bashar al Assad.

Remind us of what happened back in 1979, assuming your knowledge of world events goes back that far.

And perhaps you need a refresher on how embassies are to be treated by the host nation:

1. The premises of the mission shall be inviolable. The agents of the receiving State may not enter them, except with the consent of the head of the mission.

2. The receiving State is under a special duty to take all appropriate steps to protect the premises of the mission against any intrusion or damage and to prevent any disturbance of the peace of the mission or impairment of its dignity.

That’s the 1961 Vienna Convention. Nations not wanting to be regarded as hostile, outlaw regimes adhere to it.

You sure do know what you did in post https://freerepublic.com/focus/chat/4324529/posts?page=53#53

It is anti American treasonous garbage propaganda justifying the Iranian attack on the USA in 1979 and you should be zotted.

FJB sent $350,000,000,000 in war funding to Ukraine. Was that “constitutional?”

No, of course not.

Sad, but completely predictable.

Well, if a bunch of Chinese intelligence agents facilitated the overthrow of the U.S. government in 1953, you’d actually consider it unjustified to sack their Washington embassy in 1979 and topple the government they installed in its place?

He’s like Ron Paul. Ron Paul would be the maverick whenever it was certain a bill would pass without his support. But he’d support any Republican bills that needed his vote to pass.

A lot of people were duped by Ron Paul. Many thought he was a big supporter of the 2nd amendment but the fact of the matter is he placed a vote in congress that if the matter had passed would have cleared the way for firearms manufacturers to be sued out of business.

He is an epic fraud.

Let’s not zot folks for having different opinions. That would be cultural Marxist. We don’t do that.
