House bill would allow Trump to wage preventive war on Iran

[n2doc]

BY BRETT WILKINS

Washington - A joint resolution introduced in the House of Representatives last month authorizes preventive war against Iran to stop the Islamic Republic from developing nuclear weapons.

H.J. Res. 10, the “Authorization of Use of Force Against Iran Resolution," is sponsored by Rep. Alcee Hastings (D-FL) and permits the president to wage war as he sees fit, with the goal of thwarting Iran's alleged nuclear ambitions.

"The President is authorized to use the Armed Forces of the United States as the President determines necessary and appropriate in order to achieve the goal of preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons," the measure states, adding that any such action is subject to the War Powers Resolution, which limits military action to 60 days unless Congress offers the Commander-in-Chief an authorization for use of military force (AUMF) or a declaration of war.

1. Alcee Hastings has been sleaze his entire career. Was impeached and convicted by Congress as a

federal court judge.

15. Congrats, you're apparently the only person so far that recognizes a Democrat introduced the bill

2. These bastards don't realize that Iran isn't Iraq.

This will hurt us severely. And if they use the first "tactical" nuke, all bets are off. The response from domestic protests and international sanctions will end this administration one way or another.

3. What do you mean by "Iran isn't Iraq.?"

IRAQ WASN'T IRAQ!!

[NightWatcher]

5. Iran will put up much more of a fight.

The reasons behind whatever war we start will be all bullshit but it won't be another 100 hour war like Iraq pt 1.

6. Well, that certainly is true...

Plus there are the Russians...

7. trying to be patient and let the rule of law play out...........

but a preemptive war with Iran, especially with nukes involves, would, IMO, require the people to overthrow Trump and Congress.

Obama did a great job getting them to disarm and as far as i know there is no indication iran is renegging on their end of the bargain.

of course obama was called weak for doing that, but rethugs thing anything that doesn't involve carpet bombing is "weak".

9. Hold on, we can do stuff about it.

We have avenues of power and change that just aren't sham elections, we need to start using them.

12. repubs just love war just their little boys don't have to fight

I had better things to do
My boys were fighting .... helping me get elected
One Senator's son becomes liquor officer
One radio host has a boil on his ass so he can not fight

and the list goes on

I wonder if they figure they can survive a limited nuclear war, if they limit it??
