I told my husband at 9:00 this morning this was an act of war and if the Brits were smart, and if we were smart, we'd all be bombing Iran right now.
I'm not usually one of those bomb them until they're a sea of glass people, but until we kick them harder than they kick us, it's not going to stop. The one thing the Arabs DO respect is strength.
It won't get through the Senate. And even if it did, the president will veto it. The Democrats are denying timely funding to troops in the field, troops that in fact winning, and massaging the enemy that half the Congress wants to surrender.
Republican Leader Boehner has wisely decided not to allow any reconsideration motions or other procedural gimmicks that could give the 218 cover. They voted for retreat and defeat plus a mountain of pork. The McGovern-San Francisco Democrats are back.
I'm one of those who think we should make glass parking lots and lawns anywhere we must in any Arab land. AND I think we should lift a couple more mountain tops off their stands like we did in Aphfganistan. That would make them understand some things that are important in Christian Lands. We do not give in to terror tactics.
