[trump doesnt want Congress to have the great power over him that a war would give them.]
That’s not even counting the authorization for operations in the Middle East provided in the wake of 9/11. The Iranians took the entire US embassy hostage in 1979. That’s a terrorist act, and an act of war. They sponsored the massacre of 200+ Marine peacekeepers, in a terrorist attack, who were in Lebanon as part of a UN resolution, tasked with keep apart Israeli troops and the PLO. We have plenty of reason to bomb the hell out of Iran.
The media keeps posing false choices. We are in the position of a guy with a scoped rifle hundreds of yards away from an attacker armed with a knife. There is no reason to get close to the knife-armed assailant. Blow him away from a distance.
just remember what happened to bush jr.
What if the short-term response is not sufficient?
Trump is sunk is what happens.
China would love to give Iran money to subject Trump to Pelosi’s demands.
