But there's no other way to say it....we are at war...and the Presidents first and biggest job is Commander in Chief.
He's being personal unless you get all your news via the newspaper like Obama.
Somehow Congress believes they are supposed to know everything...
**************
Congress wants to know everything but never does anything productive with the info it gets. It is just a bunch of blowhards who don’t want the responsibility of doing anything. The senate is nothing more than a debating society.
What too many have forgotten - we have technically been “at war” since 1950 with North Korea. Wile an armistice was signed, setting up the demilitarized zone, there was never a peace treaty or official end to the war - that is why the US still keeps 30-40K military in South Korea.
The Korean conflict really was 3rd World War - as it involved 24+ nations, with North Korea, China and Russia on one side, and 21+ on the other (even though the US provided over 80% of the military might of that conflict).
We should have ended that “war” one way or the other long ago. Our continued presence in South Korea is like a gaping wound that just won’t heal. The NK dictators have been like the seeping puss that keeps the wound inflamed, preventing healing. The necrotic flesh needs to be excised - which means dealing with NK once and for all. The key is getting China to let that happen.
