The War Powers Resolution passed Thursday by the House in an effort to restrict President Trump’s ability to take military action to defend America against attack from Iran is a meaningless political document designed only to embarrass the president.
The nonbinding resolution criticizes the president for not “consulting” with Congress and receiving its “authorization” before ordering the killing of Iranian general and terrorist mastermind Qassem Soleimani. The resolution also orders Trump to stop using military force against Iran until he gets congressional approval.
Trump acted fully within his constitutional authority when he ordered the drone strike against Soleimani, a mass murderer responsible for thousands of deaths – including over 600 Americans – who was engaged in planning additional imminent and ongoing deadly attacks.
President Trump told Fox News’ Laura Ingraham in an exclusive interview Friday that Soleimani was planning attacks on four U.S. embassies.
Nine other terrorists traveling with Soleimani were also killed in the U.S. drone strike near the Baghdad International Airport in Iraq last week.
Imagine how much better off we would be if U.S. forces had been able to kill Al Qaeda leader Usama bin Laden and nine of his fellow terrorist leaders while they were planning the horrific Sept. 11, 2001 attacks that killed nearly than 3,000 people. Can anyone seriously argue that preventing those tragic deaths would not have been the right thing to do if a past president had the opportunity?
We’ll never know how many more people Soleimani would have murdered if he had lived longer, but it’s a safe bet that the number would be a big one, and that Americans would be among the dead. President Trump should be applauded for eliminating this very real threat.

As you know, I love Hans and will one day be, “Mrs. Hans von Spakovsky!” ;)
He’s on our local WIBA AM1310 with ConservaBabe Vicki McKenna from time to time. Smart guy! :)
Bump, and thanks!
[[Hey I’m all for congress directing all war activities,]]
Except that what Trump did in taking out soleimani wasn’t war- it was self defense- which is NOT under the wear powers act- He has a right and obligation to protect this nation from terrorists without approval of congress given the rapidly evolving circumstances of tracking and taking out terrorists-
No way am i for the war powers act begin expanded to require the taking out of terrorist mass murderers be run through congress before a president can act when the opportunity presents itself- that is just madness to suggest he should have to do that
I love it and congrats! ;^)
“Can anyone seriously argue that preventing those tragic deaths would not have been the right thing to do if a past president had the opportunity?”
Does anyone remember the ‘Crickets Chirping’ from the Enemy Media when the FIRST WTC was bombed on Clinton’s watch?
I remember. I remember a LOT that the Enemy Media wishes I didn’t. B@stards.
That said, the ‘Little Libertarian’ in me kind of rails against this form of ‘thought crimes’ but not too much if the crimes are going to be directed at ME or America. ;)
I trust our Military Intel and it has been IGNORED for far too long. Democrats and Terrorists? Not so much!
Well said, right on! I remember too.
IranocRATS are the ones who should be embarrassed. The whole thing is meaningless. It’s”non-binding”. One great big harumph. And they didn’t even get a harumph out of 8 IranocRATS. Although they did get one out of 3 Republicans.

Yes indeed.
You're right - excellent piece.
I saw a clip of Pelosi being asked if Obama needed Congressional approval before bombing Libya, no, was her short and only answer. No follow up questions from the press.
