What do you folks read into this? Special interest groups playing with fire by proxy? Or is it a case of noble, misunderstood men doing the tough work that must be done for America....and the world. Something else entirely perhaps?

I am not sure what to think regarding motive, but i don't like it. An outgoing administration behaving like this is tantamount to weird as fuck. Obama looks headed for victory......This is a headfuck.

This is a hot potato.

That encampment was five miles across the Syrian border. The enemy based there were coming across the Iraqi border in successful attempts to kill our military men. For Joe Biden's and Sarah Palin's sons ... I say good job special ops!

It's pretty hard to believe that in 7 years of war, there have been less than hundreds of opportunities similar to this one that haven't precipitated military action. Why now? :?:

Man, I can't believe how obsessed people are about America's stature in other nation's eyes. Seriously, this isn't highschool. Popularity isn't everything.

Congressional authorization - if you read Section 3, paragraph B, Bush was required to prove to the Congress that Iraq was in violation of UN Resolutions by still being in possession of weapons of mass destruction, and secondly, that Iraq was behind 9-11. Both claims have since been disproved and discredited, and appear to be created by the Pentagon

I don't wish to be rude, but that is not a smart comment. :roll:

===============================================

This is overdue by about 5 years, but still worth doing! Even the Iraqi Govt. has had enough of Syria. The Syrian airport has been a entrance point for hundreds of suicide bombers.

I say well done. About time. :blsmoke:

It wasn't an illegal war, there was still a state of war between the United States and Iraq from 1991 when we went in under the UN mandate. That war never ended in a peace treaty, but just in a cease fire.

Much like the Korean War, which also ended in a cease fire and not a peace treaty (thus the continued presence of US Troops on the Korean Peninsula)

Of course, both of those actions were undertaken under UN Mandates, so it is questionable as to whether or not the US should have gotten involved.

The issue with the current Iraq war however is clearer, because the President was authorized to use military force in Iraq, which is, using common sense, the authorization to engage in war, or military operations, and thus effectively a declaration of war.
