Gabbard blasts Iran strike: 'Trump's actions are an act of war'
The Hill ^ | 01/03/20 | Tal Axelrod

Posted on 01/04/2020 5:41:57 PM PST by McGruff

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) ripped President Trump for approving an airstrike against Iran’s top general, calling the attack "an act of war."

“Make no mistake: Trump’s actions are an act of war,” Gabbard, a presidential candidate, said in an email to supporters. “Taken without any authorization or declaration of war from Congress, seriously escalating this tit for tat conflict, pushing us deeper into an endless quagmire and dangerously undermining our national security.”

Gabbard, an Iraq War veteran, has hinged much of her White House bid on ending America’s military involvements abroad and withdrawing troops from the Middle East.

“We need to get out of Iraq and Syria now. That is the only way that we're going to prevent ourselves from being dragged into this quagmire, deeper and deeper into a war with Iran,” the Hawaii Democrat tweeted Friday.

If she’s a veteran, couldn’t President Trump re-activate her and send her over there alone to attack Iran with a herring?

Tulsi needs to be reminded of the three cardinal rules of surfing.(It’s uncanny how they relate to Islam):
1) The Ocean doesn’t know you’re there and doesn’t care if you die.
2) Never turn your back on the Ocean.
3) Never let your surfboard get between you and an oncoming wave;
it’ll knock your teeth out.

Tulsi, you’re wrong on many things, but you can save yourself: you can repent and come over to the light of Truth and Liberty.

What is truly bizarre is how one Dem after another is coming out and making Soleimani and Iran sound like heroes, being picked upon by that big mean Trump. All that’s left for them to do is go out and start hopping around under a banner saying Death to America. You know, just to show their solidarity.

Taken without any authorization or declaration of war from Congress

He's clearly got the statutory authority to engage in combat in Iraq and the Iranian was a military officer engaged in hostile acts against U.S. forces, he was a legitimate military target under any law of war.

The last declaration of war from Congress was in 1942 so if that's the metric for conducting military action then every president since then has broken the law.

The woman's an AOC level idiot.

Tulsi, Tucker and other like minded fools are not being patriots. Do they think the President dreamed up the actions that our military are taking in the Middle East? Our Generals and others in high level military departments created and implemented the attack on the Iranian General Soleimani with our leader President Trump giving the go ahead. Whoever is attacking Trump for this act is not supporting our military.

“Act of war”
How many Americans have been maimed or killed by Iranians?

Where was Biden In 2008? Tulsi’s playing the Veepstakes as well as anyone, IMO.

When I looked up her history, all I could find was that she was a specialist assigned to a medical unit. The specialty was not defined. The article also said one of her duties was to review daily injury/casualty mists to see if anybody from her unit was on the list. Maybe she actually did was classified.

Tulsa is a typical leftist lunatic . Some have apparently been seeing her as being relatively sane when compared with her more insane fellow-travelers . She is a nitwit,

I don’t know why it would say specialist, she’s an officer.

She has nice hair, but her complexion is horrible without makeup and her thighs are like tree trunks. Not my cup of tea.

And attacking our embassy wasn’t an act of war?

So was attacking the US embassy, Tulsi. Or maybe you think we should spot the Iranians a few hundred more casualties just to “make it fair”?

Attacking our embassy was an act of the DNC. Right, Tuls?
