Cogent words, indeed. State sponsored terrorism is a very nasty business. It is addressed in the constitution under 'offenses against the law of nations' and it is constitutional to 'punish' these offenses.

Many governments are guilty, including Russia, China, Iran, and Saddam's Iraq.

How to go about punishing these offenses is left to congress but these days it is the president who everyone looks to.

Of course, the constitution says 'punish', not invade and occupy.

Everyone assumes we’ve “invaded” and “occupied” Iraq when in reality we’ve liberated Iraq and provided security for Iraq! It’s the false language of the left!

We’re in Kuwait since the gulf war because Kuwaitis ASKED us to be. I have a close retired Colonel friend that’s in Kuwait, owns his own security firm. Also does work in Jordan, on invitation!

We don’t “occupy” anyone. Japan is the closest thing that resembles that...and like Germany when we threaten to move bases to Poland or Taiwan...they scream bloody murder!

Contrast the nazis that TRULY occupied France...do you think they’d scream bloody murder when the nazis threatened to “pull out” or redeploy?
