Should Trump Officially Declare War On Iran??

[Biff_Poindexter]

The United States Is Now at War With Iran

As much as Trump campaigned on not getting us further entangled in endless wars in the Middle East; with no exit strategy in sight --- as much as Trump and his cult followers pretend that they were against the war in Iraq all along -- I find it ironic that their authorization for taking out the military leader of a sovereign nation is the same authorization that allowed Bush to invade Iraq 18 years ago.....

"The United States is now at war with Iran. You don’t deliberately kill someone like Soleimani unless you’re at war with his country, and even then, you want to think long and hard before you do, given the near-certainty of blowback. To convey a sense of Soleimani’s significance, it would be as if, during the Iraq war, the ayatollah had ordered the assassination of Gen. David Petraeus, Gen. Jim Mattis, the head of Special Operations Command, and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff"

Now I can imagine if our Defense Secretary was killed in a drone strike by any country, especially a Middle Eastern country (except for Saudi Arabia) -- we will take that action as an act of war -- so we can't pretend to be naïve as to believe Iran wouldn't take this as an act of war...And if you say "well he killed our soldiers, we are already at war with Iran" -- then you should demanding that Trump go before Congress (and the American people) and seek an official declaration of war against Iran...

Soleimani was a bad guy is not a good enough reason for declaring war (and the new general will most likely be a bad guy too) -- just like Saddam was a bad guy was not a good enough reason for declaring war on Iraq...which is why he had to claim Iraq was behind 9/11, Iraq had nukes and there was a mushroom cloud waiting to happen in the US, blah blah blah....all bullshit.....

Which is why we still to this day haven't declared war on anyone, except this ambiguous non-entity known as the war on terror -- a convenient way to do anything you want to do as long as you claim its a war on terror....and this goes for Bush, this goes for Obama and this goes for Trump --- the guy who was supposed to be DIFFERENT from the rest of them.

Since I nor any of mine will be involved in it, I say have at it!

There's no way the House democrats will declare war on one of their largest financial backers

Iran has been escalating attacks against the US since Oct.

.And if you say "well he killed our soldiers, we are already at war with Iran" -- then you should demanding that Trump go before Congress (and the American people) and seek an official declaration of war against Iran...

Perhaps Trump's history of ignorance, arrogance, and cowardice will focus the attention of Americans on who pays the price for America's eternal warfare economy?

Colonel Larry Wilkerson was Colin Powell's chief-of-staff in the buildup to the invasion of Iraq, and he's noticed some key similarities to events then and now:

Lawrence Wilkerson - Wikipedia

"On April 2018, Wilkerson explained in an interview with Sharmini Peries of the Real News Network, why he (Wilkerson) believes the U.S. president 'can do anything he pleases with regard to the armed forces of the United States anytime he pleases.'

"That reason, says Wilkerson, 'is because the American people are apathetic' and 'their representatives in the Congress are… cowards' who, but for 'few exceptions like Mike Lee and Bernie Sanders and some of the others,' will not do anything to restrain such exercise of presidential power.

"He also goes on to state that commercial interests related to oil and gas is why the U.S. would intervene in various places overseas including the Middle East and Afghanistan; and that other reasons for justifying U.S. intervention 'is just lying to the American people' and that the U.S. has a long history of lying to justify intervention, giving the examples of the Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan wars."

You have a link to Democrats getting financial backing from Iran...


I'll wait

I know when the leader of Saudi Arabia murdered a US resident -- it was their "financial backing" that lead our president to attempting to try to cover up and then justifying that murder

So how does something Congress passed in 2002 give the President the right to do what he did 18 years later??

Or do you think a president can do whatever he wants when he wants??

Face it, you're just pissed that Trump took the right action.

it is because you were wrong and hate having to admit that a "liberal" was right...…


and the same cheerleading you are doing now -- you will pretend to be against years later when the dust settles......now tell me how this drone strike is resulting in us pulling troops OUT OF IRAQ like Trump said he would??

In other words, you have no evidence...just some shit you pulled out your ass?? cool...

Tell you what....send all of that evidence you have on money laundering over to the DOJ....Trump's DOJ...I am sure they will get right on it...

Or are you going to say that the Democrats are more powerful than Trump and the DOJ?

You do know that money laundering is an actual thing that people who are fairly high up can be arrested for right?? Ask Paul Manafort

If the Iraqi government asks the US to pull out, and President Trump complies, you lefties will be screaming how he retreated and created a void in Iraq which will only lead to more war there.

Even the Donald underestimated the Hussein’s treasonous abilities. The Hussein appeased Iran and did whatever they asked. Yet they still carried out attacks in Yemen, and worked to destabilize the region. It’s almost as if they were emboldened by a weak US President knowing he would do nothing to stop them.

Jim Mattis, the head of Special Operations Command, and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff"

Now I can imagine if our Defense Secretary was killed in a drone strike by any country, especially a Middle Eastern country (except for Saudi Arabia) -- we will take that action as an act of war -- so we can't pretend to be naïve as to believe Iran wouldn't take this as an act of war...And if you say "well he killed our soldiers, we are already at war with Iran" -- then you should demanding that Trump go before Congress (and the American people) and seek an official declaration of war against Iran...

Soleimani was a bad guy is not a good enough reason for declaring war (and the new general will most likely be a bad guy too) -- just like Saddam was a bad guy was not a good enough reason for declaring war on Iraq...which is why he had to claim Iraq was behind 9/11, Iraq had nukes and there was a mushroom cloud waiting to happen in the US, blah blah blah....all bullshit.....

Which is why we still to this day haven't declared war on anyone, except this ambiguous non-entity known as the war on terror -- a convenient way to do anything you want to do as long as you claim its a war on terror....and this goes for Bush, this goes for Obama and this goes for Trump --- the guy who was supposed to be DIFFERENT from the rest of them.

We aren't any more at war with the Axis of Evil than we were last week at this time.

Its my belief that the whacking of Soleimani has reduced tensions in the area and the possibility of war. between the Mullahs and America. Right now, they are shitting themselves in Tehran, they realize there is a new sheriff in town who isn't going to put up with their shit.

If I were advising Khamenei, I'd tell him to work hard to collude with Sleepy Joe to rig the upcoming election, not to fight a war he cannot win. Donald J. Trump is an Existential Threat to Islamonazi Terror, they can't risk angering him any more.

The United States Is Now at War With Iran

As much as Trump campaigned on not getting us further entangled in endless wars in the Middle East; with no exit strategy in sight --- as much as Trump and his cult followers pretend that they were against the war in Iraq all along -- I find it ironic that their authorization for taking out the military leader of a sovereign nation is the same authorization that allowed Bush to invade Iraq 18 years ago.....

Good grief...You progressives let your fantasy world really get away from you....We are NOT in a war, declared, or otherwise, unless you want to just post lies.

So how does something Congress passed in 2002 give the President the right to do what he did 18 years later??

Or do you think a president can do whatever he wants when he wants??

What a dumb comment...You do realize that's like asking how something ratified in 1782 gives the President his powers today right?

Face it, you're just pissed that Trump took the right action.

The reason you dic suckers get so triggered over the war in Iraq isn't because you were against it...…

it is because you were wrong and hate having to admit that a "liberal" was right...…


and the same cheerleading you are doing now -- you will pretend to be against years later when the dust settles......now tell me how this drone strike is resulting in us pulling troops OUT OF IRAQ like Trump said he would??

If the Iraqi government asks the US to pull out, and President Trump complies, you lefties will be screaming how he retreated and created a void in Iraq which will only lead to more war there.

Obama pulled out a significant number of troops because the Iraqi government asked them to pull out.....how did you respond to that??

Graham rips Obama over Iraq troop withdrawal: ‘That’s a bunch of bulls–, pardon my French’


Idiot, I was against the war in Iraq back in 2003...I was against it then for the same reason dic suckers like you claim to be against it now...why the fuck do you think I would change my position on that??

Would the "whacking" of one of generals result in eased tensions or would we see them as an act of war?

This American narcissism we have in the middle east is why we have been at war over there for almost 20 years...because we have this belief that if we do something, others are supposed to react to it in a way that we wouldn't ourselves.....

This is not going to lead to us leaving Iraq...because now we can continue to claim that our troops need to remain there indefinitely because of the "increased tensions" -- that your dumb ass just said eased....
