Breitbart has a great article on the Dem voting against the war powers show vote. While he is doing CYA since he voted for impeachment he does make some great points that the virtue signalling GOP pols fail to care about.
Here’s what the Dem says:
I know all too well the real costs of war and sending troops into harm’s way is the most consequential decision I could make. Unfortunately, today’s War Powers Resolution is a non-binding resolution that simply restates existing law and sends the message that war is imminent. I refuse to play politics with questions of war and peace and therefore will not support this resolution.
Again- Trump was NOT declaring war on iran- He was moving quickly as an opportunity presented itself- a golden opportunity- which would have been lost had he been required to go and get congressional approval first- people like gaetz want to restrict the president and prevent him from protecting America by acting quickly and decisively when hte opportunities to take out lone terrorists WITHOUT declaring war- presents itself-
The ‘War Powers Act’ is just that - WAR- it was never meant for Self Defense against known terrorists- Soleimani murdered 600 American soldiers- 600! That is 600 families that lost loved ones forever because of a brutal brutal terrorist-
How anyone can argue that he shouldn’t have been taken out in split decision attacks when the opportunity presented itself, and argues that a president must get congressional permission to do
His moral obligation to protect America in NON WAR acts like this is beyond me
Gaetz should be ashamed of himself!
