Whining on MNBC that Schumer was not notified, Congress was not notified.

Ben Rhodes thinks this is an Act of War. They are all together defending IRAN, on US soil.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

There is no doubt that the President acted within the legal limits of the War Powers Resolution of 1973 as authorized by the Authorization for Use of Military Force (50 USC 1541) enacted September 18, 2001.

I have no doubt the RATS will deny that this Act applies to Iran; however, as Iran had just carried out an act of terrorism against our embassy, and had threatened more, this claim will be seen as completely vacuous by the great majority of Americans.

Iran has been at war with the US since the late 70s. This has been a long time coming.
