Will Democrats unfairly exploit the deaths of our beloved 3 USA soldiers who were killed by Iran today?

[SweetTea]

Beloved?
I didn’t know them, don’t have to be a dimocrap to scoff at this.
Trump sacrificed these people for Bibi.

And Obama sacrificed how many people by giving Iran a pallet of cash which they used to fund terrorism?

Spare us.

 

[skews13]

The evil in the Iranian leadership’s hearts is unspeakable. They just murdered three US soldiers without provocation.

Five more were seriously injured, and I hope none of them die.

I hope Democrats don’t use these unfortunate deaths to try to get an advantage in the midterms.

This fallen service members were there for a reason. To protect America.

Spare us.

Whataboutism doesn’t excuse one because of the actions of the other. Spare me your second grade attempt at logic.

I wasn't arguing ANY point about the "13"

Trump is directly responsible for the death of these Service members.
Trump doesn't attack Iran, these 3 are still alive today.

Don't you dare try to SPIN this as anything other than BLOOD on the hands of Trump.
These deaths were 100% Preventable.

This selective tallying of body counts is rather hypocritical. When the right talks about the number of people killed by illegal immigrants, the only response by the left is that Americans kill more Americans than illegal immigrants. Which is true but if we're going to talk about bloody hands and preventable deaths then let's be fair and objective and criticize anyone who has blood on their hands or did not even at least make an effort to prevent needless deaths.

In the view of many on the right, the blood of Laken Riley, Jocelyn Nungaray, et al is on Biden's and Harris' hands. They were unwilling innocents whereas the three people killed in Iran were willing soldiers. This is what soldiers do and they know the potential for combat is always there when they sign up.

They had the choice not to go. They may have been court martialed for it but they had that choice nonetheless. Instead, they went because they knew it was what they signed up for. Riley, Nungaray, Morin and the others had no choice.

So give your analysis of the difference between "The 13" and "These 3"

Netanyahood knows Israel cannot fight Iran alone, he finally got what he wanted which the United States to join his fight.

Under the United States Constitution the president has to receive advice and consent from the Senate. 47 did NOT.

Article II​

  • Clause 2 Advice and Consent
  • He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.

Since when has the limits of the Constitution mattered to any potus? They do as they will as long as they can get away with it.

 

[Dragonlady]

If only you guys took responsibility for all of the deaths domestically due to your agendas. You love you some violence, destruction, arson, murder, assaults, rapes, anarchy, ripping common sense from individuals through propaganda and brainwashing and so much more.

You're delusional. Completely delusional. You know nothing about Americans or the left.

Just pointing out the obvious.

Taking out this regime should have been done a long time ago. Supplying them is beyond stupid. The bottom line is that this was the correct move.

The War Powers Act, passed by Congress, gives the President up to 60 days before requiring congressional authorization. Name the last President who got advice and consent from the Senate before a miliary strike. We had the whole Vietnam War thing happen without advice and consent from the Senate. Three servicemembers dying is three too many. How many died during the Vietnam War? Around 58,000. You're crying about republicans standing up to Trump would carry some weight if you held both sides to that standard. Which you clearly don't.

BTW, Obama went past the deadline of the War Powers Act in attacking Libya. Then we have this from the Sec. of State, Hillary Clinton.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton testified to congress in March 2011 that the Obama administration did not need congressional authorization for its military intervention in Libya or for further decisions about it, despite congressional objections from members of both parties that the administration was violating the War Powers Resolution.

May 20, 2011, marked the 60th day of U.S. combat in Libya (as part of the UN resolution) but the deadline arrived without President Obama seeking specific authorization from the U.S. Congress. President Obama notified Congress that no authorization was needed because it was now a NATO operation.
