We have attacked a nation that hasn't attacked us.

Did you lefties ask this question after O'Kenya carpet bombed Libya? - Jazz Inmate 09:45:17 06/22/25 (1)
That was a much more egregious attack involving far more bombs, far more death, destruction and regime change...of a a leader who was actually cooperating with the US and had made reparations to all Lockerbie victims. You lefties can always be counted on for exactly the backward view on policy and conflict.

  I can't think of a thing done by the Obama administration that I did approve of, and I've agreed with you on any things you've posted. I thought the Libya thing was particularly egregious and destabilizing.
  
  Many conservatives, such as Charles Cooke writing for the National Review, believe that Congressional authorization should have been sought. The Constitution was not amended by the Congressional acts mentioned below.

Remember 2011 and 1998 ?
- Huh? - PabloP 10:03:29 06/22/25 (1)
  1998 was said to be justified as an attack on a non governmental terrorist organization in response to its attacks on our assets in the Middle East. Iran wasn't involved. We didn't go far enough in that instance.
  
  2011 was not good.

    that the current whining by Boynee, AOC, et. al. demonstrates historical ignorance.
    There is a difference but only by who ordered it not similar actions taken by predecessors.
    edit: I trust you understand the dates in prior post were hyperlinks.

War Powers Resolution (1973): - emailtim 19:30:17 06/21/25 (0)
Congress has been notified:
This resolution requires the President to report to Congress within 48 hours of introducing armed forces into hostilities or situations where hostilities are imminent. It also stipulates that the President cannot keep armed forces engaged in hostilities for more than 60 days without Congressional authorization.

But they could! and for that the only penalty is DEATH - Wojciech 18:01:06 06/21/25 (0)
Let's hope the US warned Iranians, facilities were empty and it will all wind down with US declaring victory even though in reality it was a defeat.
The same will be forwarded to Bibi - US Manchurian Candidate in Israel (which is daydreaming that it is an independent country)
