Tim Kaine introduces resolution to block war with Iran
The Hill ^ | 1/03/20 | ALEXANDER BOLTON

Posted on 01/03/2020 11:47:12 PM PST by Libloather

Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.), a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, on Friday introduced a resolution to block President Trump from further escalating hostilities with Iran.

The resolution is privileged, which means Republicans cannot block it from reaching the floor, and comes the day after the surprise drone strike that killed Iraninan Gen. Qassem Soleimani, the leader of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’s elite Quds Force.

Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has vowed “forceful revenge” against the U.S., and the Pentagon announced Friday that it will send 3,000 additional troops to the Middle East.

Kaine’s resolution requires that any hostilities with Iran must be explicitly authorized by a congressional declaration of war or a specific authorization for the use of military force, though it does not prevent the United States from defending itself from imminent attack, according to a summary of the measure released by his office.

“For years I’ve been deeply concerned about President Trump stumbling into a war with Iran. We’re now at a boiling point and Congress must step in before Trump puts even more of our troops in harm’s way,” Kaine, the 2016 Democratic vice presidential nominee, said in a statement.

Doesn't that mean kaine is giving Iran a license to kill Americans?

Yes but since the Democrats only acknowledge illegals, they figure they can always import more “Americans”.

Guess the weasel noticed his name ain’t been in the news for a long time...nothing like defending terrorists to ensure some coverage...but not as much coverage as the pieces of the recently dead Irani terrorists were spread over....

If Trump bombed Israel Dems would have been just as infuriated. He can do no right.

No, they would pretend to be infuriated. With Iran they're just infuriated. Secretly, they would enjoy the Jewish deaths.

Maine is still in the Senate because Virginia establishment Republicans would not support a conservative challenger who could have knocked Kaine off.

Challenger Stewart did not receive a dime from the state party (except for a few token signs) or from the national party and the RSCC. Not a dime.
Nor did the donor class, especially the Chamber of Commerce, who hated him for his opposition to the wave of illegal immigration into Virginia.

That wave of illegals added to green card aliens and H 1 visas who really do vote in northern Virginia areas where Democrats control registration and elections is why in just 10 years Virginia went from solid red to permanent blue.

Wake up, the rest of you in America - it is coming your way.

He is in line with the belief that Congress should have passed a resolution that forbade President F D Roosevelt from responding to the Japanese aerial exercise over Pearl Harbor on Dec 7, 1941.

I won't argue the point, but over the past few days I've been thinking that the best analogy would be imagining the GOP leadership in 1943 complaining loudly about how FDR didn't consult them first before ordering the attack on Gen. Yamamoto's plane resulting in his death, and a WaPo headline the next day, "Airstrike in South Pacific kills Japan’s most revered military leader, Isoroku Yamamoto, Japanese state radio reports." (Hint: you can't imagine it.)

Or members of Parliament eulogizing SS Reichsprotektor of Bohemia Reinhard Heydrich after he was was critically wounded in Prague on 27 May 1942 as a result of an assassination named Operation Anthropoid by the British Special Operations Executive. Heydrich died of his wounds a few days aftereard.

VA went from solid red to solid blue due to LEGAL IMMIGRATION and domestic migration from the Northeast. I watched it happen over the 36 years I lived in Fairfax County.

The Reps have not won a statewide election in 10 years. VA is going the way of CA.

Quds is the name used for Jerusalem by Arabs and Persians, so essentially the name means “Holy” Brigade. The intention is obviously to imply the control of the “Holy Mountain”, or Temple Mount. https://www.quora.com/Why-is-Jerusalem-called-al-Quds-meaning-the-Holy-in-Arabic-instead-of-Jerusalem

The Iranians have adapted the name from the time that Hadrian conquered Jerusalem during the Bar Kochba Rebellion in 132 ad (CE) and renamed Jerusalem Aelia Capitolina, and the country the Province of Syriana Palestina, in an attempt to ‘erase’ the Name of the Jewish Nation of Israel. There has never been a Palestine, but a Roman name derived for that part of the Syrian Province of the Roman Empire.

True, but the illegal wave in Fairfax, Arlington, and Alexandria is part and parcel of the legal immigration wave. Illegals are mixed in with legal family members and greencarders are mixed in with already naturalized family members.

The Democrats and agents like the SEIU an Virginia New Majority have registered illegals and green carders with impunity because Democrats control registration and all the investigative elected offices to ensure he practice goes on unimpeded.

Spend a day as a poll watcher inFairfax and watch the unqualified voters file in with their blue sample democrat ballots.
