Another useless Middle East War???????

The president is bound by treaties approved by tbe US senate

But he is not bound by executive orders issued by a previous president

Every federal judge who does not know that should be impeached

 

Why do you insist on running around in circles? State your point.

 

Already did, you are the one running around in circles.

 

That's not even close to the truth. Democrats are smarter than that. NOBODY wants a *******ned war in the Middle East and to suggest that is shear lunacy. That would be devastation for everyone, including the US. Stop being so tribal and use your common sense just once, when it counts the most.

 

Then, what is your point? Just say it, clearly, state your point.

 

Now claiming ignorance of your incorrect claims and trying to bait me to explain to you AGAIN, your error. Funny that.

 

I will repeat, what is your point, if you even have one?

 

"Presently, there is no official Supreme Court ruling on whether the President has the power to break a treaty without the approval of Congress, and the courts also declined to interfere when President George W. Bush unilaterally withdrew the United States from the ABM Treaty in 2002"

 

A treaty signed by the executive branch and approved by a 2/3 majority of the senate is a law that future presidents must obey

 

I'm glad that the nation, in general does not want another military conflict in the Middle-east

 

I just showed you that it isn't so. Google it. I did and that is where I got that quote.

 

Well, thanks to you I learned something

But I dont think its right for the president to have so much power

 

You can blame Congress for that. They continued through the years pushing off difficult decisions to the Executive because hard decisions might affect their votes for re-election.

 

I totally agree

We dont call them swamp rats for no reason

 

Congress pushes off difficult decisions onto the President? Nah, The president makes decisions, many of which have to be approved by Congress. Don't forget that the president also faces reelection.

 

Tried North Korea and he didn’t have the balls only the opposite. Tried Venezuela but didn’t understand the people. So yea let’s do Iran everyone hates a Muslim right? But yet pulled back the order. You can’t play at war monger its all in or **** because the effect of just talking usually translates to war anyway a war of attrition

 

Well, you are not even aware of legislative history.

 

Sure, blame the cop rather than the criminal. Iran has committed so many provocations that any other country would have bombed the **** out of them years ago. During the Obama administration, Iran seized a US war vessel and held our sailors captive. That is an act of war, and yet we did nothing. Now they have shot down a US military drone over international waters. That, too, is an act of war, and yet we do nothing. If war comes, you can't say Iran didn't ask for it.

 

Trump is hardly the person who should be acting like a cop. He is irrational and a blowhard.

 

Trump is not the cop, America is.

 

He is the cop chief at the moment and is steering the ship.

 

Trump is not going to war. He is more interested in bravado and grandstanding. As long as he can fulminate against Iran and get cheers, it’s a win for him.

 

You mean cheers from his base because his blustering is upsetting to the rest of the world.

 

No argument from me

 

Good post. I'm in complete agreement.
