Well...we agree that Obama can’t be trusted not abuse anything! Good. I must have missed something but when did Congress declare that it is “wartime?”
When did Congress do so against the Barbary Pirates? Just to pick one example, that has some historical parallels.
“Declarations of war” take many forms, over our history. Something as cut and dried as, say, WWII, is actually fairly rare.
Make no mistake about it, to those at the pointy end of the spear downrange in Iraq, Afghanistan, etc., we *are* at war. To say otherwise is the kind of argumentative nonsense we’ve been hearing from the Dems for the last 7-8 years. It is an argument that doesn’t wash.
