Iran is providing equipment, high-efficiency explosives, and military personnel to Iraq. Is this not the proverbial casus belli?

Of course it is! But I would say, in terms of warfare, where the goal is to break the will of the enemy to fight, We have lost. The MSM and the Democrat party have carried the water for the enemy and now the American People dont want to fight.

Now, Casus Belli will require the blood and souls of thousands of innocents, not tens or hundreds, to overcome the political hurdle to take out Iran.
