Senate Democrats are seeking to curb President Trump’s war powers in retaliation for his initiation of the drone strike that killed Iranian General Qasem Soleimani.Sen. Dick Durbin and Sen. Tim Kaine are cosponsoring a resolution that would force the administration to withdraw all troops from Iran, unless Congress itself declares war.“I will file a resolution, pursuant to the War Powers Act of 1974, to try to force Congress to have a debate about whether or not it is in the United States’ best interest to be in a war with Iran,” stated Durbin. “We can’t let the president make this decision on his own.”

We can’t let the President do his job. We have to do it for him. Because we are the Imperial Tyrannical Congress that hates America and the Constitution. We want to do things our way. We are Trumps sworn enemy within.

Thinking persons will read Richard Fernandez (posted today) and others… Non-thinkers will take to the streets with homemade signs. And cheer the likes of Dickie and Timmy.

FTA: " withdraw all troops from Iran." There aren't any American troops in Iran. Am old enough to remember when politicians got all worked up that there was no declared war with Vietnam. The American Embassy in Baghdad was attacked by Iranians terrorists. That is an act of war. PT defended our Embassy. Hooray for him.

Democrats become a bumbling "Obstructionist Specialist Party". They just can't seem to be socially and economically productive. They're only good at draining taxpayer's money.

Durbin's recommendation is to apologize, draw a red line, and if Iran crosses it, ship them $20 billion in cash.

Trump didn't do anything any other President didn't do. By the way, where was the concern when Obama took out Qaddafi, Osama Bin Laden or even U.S. citizen Al-Awlaki?

Imagine what it might have meant for the USA if President Roosevelt had been able to take out Admiral Yamamoto BEFORE the Pearl Harbor attack and how that might have changed everything... and what part of Commander In Chief do they not understand? Don't these Demonrats remember Bill Clinton's "Monica missiles?"

The Democrats are wasting their time and will lose in a landslide in the November general election.

He is so successful they don't want him to do anything. It makes all of the politicains look so bad that a politically inexperienced BUSINESSMAN is running circles around every President we have ever had. The Democrats are a bad, bad joke and must be crushed in 2020.

Ya know, for once, I agree with Dickie Durban. I don't think we should go to war with Iran, but we should declare war on our real enemies: The demorat party. When pruning a tree, you don't cut the trunk first, but go after the branches. Since the 'Rats have declared themselves in alliance with the Mullahs in Iran, we should start by eliminating the terror branches in our own country. It will do no good to wipe out the terrorists in Iran when far more dangerous terrorists are operating with impunity in the US congress.

These small-minded fools are too stupid to realize that their shedding tears for the killing of a man with the blood of thousands of people including American citizens on his hands is aiding and abetting the enemy. You heard not a peep from them when Nobel Peace Prize winner Barack Obama was plinking Hellfire missiles on Iraq, overthrowing the government of Libya, and trying to do the same in Syria. The whole lot are nothing but treasonous gasbags.

Draft away, fools. Suppose you pass it in the House. It won't pass in the Senate, but let's get wild and crazy and assume that it passes in the Senate.
Who imagines that Trump would sign the bill? How stupid are they?
And suppose he doesn't sign (100% probability) - do they think that they can get 2/3 majority in each chamber to override? How much crack are these fools smoking?

Draft a resolution to withdraw all troops from Iran? There aren't any troops in Iran. When PT wanted to remove all our military from the middle east, the demonrats had a flaming fit. Hypocrites. Send the demonrat lot to Iraq and let them enjoy the fruits of Barry's policies that they love so much. Let their beheadings begin.

I'd like to see us leave Iraq and Afghanistan. Let the Iranian Shiites and Iraqi Sunnis fight it out.

I really hope that an entrepreneur will take this latest liberal work-product and print it on a roll of soft, perfumed and perforated tissue paper.

That should take a constitutional amendment. Otherwise, it's just talk.
