I believe one of the Barbary States did declare war on the US. I don’t think we reciprocated.

I agree with you. It was a real good speech. How many times did he say "no more nation building" and "no imposing our style of government on others"? He was also real strong about Pakistan's hypocrisy and that India is more of an ally for us.
I can't imagine how anyone can complain about the approach laid out in that speech.

If it’s just more of the same, I’m against it. Too many good men have died or been maimed, for what?
If Trump changes the rules of engagement, and takes the gloves off, I will tentatively support it.

He started with Charlottesville racist hate hoax and then shifted to the sand box.

To answer a declared war — isn’t that permitted?

This war was already going on when Trump took office.Yes. For 17 years. 8 of those as nothing more than as a political play thing of Obama.
Either kick ass or get out!

It was a good, measured speech. Key points:
No nation-building;
Rules of engagement take the handcuffs off our troops;
Other countries will contribute to the effort;
No more free ride for Pakistan, no $ for sheltering terrorists;
If Pakistan wants to be refractory, US will side with India against Pakistan;
Not disclosing our tactics or time-lines.

I think that was a necessary step, along with getting tough with Pakistan.
I wonder how long before the MSM starts calling him a War Criminal (for taking the gloves off)?
