So you’re saying that the President should be able to go to war whenever HE decides? That he should not have to seek a proper declaration of war that specifies the grievances between our nations and lays out the reason for going to war? That it doesn’t MATTER whether or not Congress is on board and FULLY COMMITTED?
Now, aside from Grenada, the last time we WON a war was WWII. And WHY, you may ask, was that? Because:
a.) It was (and was seen as) a Just War;
b.) The President laid out the facts and the grievances between us and Japan to Congress and the American People;
c.) Congress DECLARED WAR on the Empire of Japan and promised the President its WHOLEHEARTED support for the duration; and
d.) They did it again when Germany and Italy declared war on US.
That’s a far cry from what Bush the Younger did when he went to war with Iraq... and if you try to tell me about UN sanctions again, I will barf. Then I’ll package it up and ship it off to you. It won’t be a pleasant thing to see.
Didn’t I already say Goodbye to you?
I was being polite.
It’s a shame you couldn’t see that.
I have no further interest in your opinions.
From now on you leave me no recourse but to ignore you.
