    WHO "Declared" War?

    It was O.K. when Bill Clinton did it, right? It was O.K. for Obama to threaten (but never
    act - like the coward he was), Right?

    But let a Republican act, and all of a sudden it is a "Declaration of War"?

    That is a stretch. A huge stretch.

    Not Ok when any president does it.
    Congress has constitutional war powers not Trump... or Obama or Clinton or Bush.

    So just to be clear, if Syria only used a few missiles to hit DC and New York, or just struck a couple U.S. chemical weapon stocks, it would not be war either? right?
    Of course it would.

    "As You know"....Ok...


    I just wish Putin would look at the big picture and get his act together....By understanding `we` dont need to hurt "each other" ....and should.... together.... look at the CANCER of Islam as the main problem affecting "both of us" and the civilized world...

    Whatever... I can't see it... I'm no longer on twitter. I've been banned for saying muslims throw homos off buildings.

    Just one more glaring, blatant example of you fascist democrats and your war on the 1st Amendment and the truth.

    One would hope. Fact is, he's probably still laughing. If it was anybody but us, I would be.

    This is an example of your media feeding you lies. Sorry -- but it's a fact.

    We're getting a military 'debriefing' broadcast from America, as I speak (relayed to us by BBC News). The account given says that nothing at all was hit either by Syria or Russia .. in fact, I've yet to hear anything saying that Russian munitions were even involved; it appears that none were !! Apparently Syria launched some missiles .. we think they were unguided (!!) .. and hit precisely nothing. At least, nothing they were intended to hit ! As has been pointed out, those missiles must've come down somewhere. Hopefully not on civilian populations (?).

    Aerial photos have been shown to us, which show the obliteration of our intended targets. The allied mission was, clearly, a resounding success.

    I'm staggered to learn that Russia intends to take this matter to the Security Council ?!? On what possible basis ?? Had Russia lived up to its responsibilities and - instead of allowing, and approving of, the use of chemical weapons by Assad, and even BY THEMSELVES .. this current mess wouldn't even exist today.

    Instead, all we get from Russia is ever-more belligerence.

    The UN Secretary General - unfortunately - is correct. The Cold War 'is back with a vengeance'.

    We have some truly staggering levels of Russian belligerence to thank for it. It's belligerence they could, even now, back away from. But ... will they ?

    I won't be holding my breath on that one.

    You've something against the English language, now ?

    Interesting, Pete. Can you perhaps list a collection of 'banned phrases' that the Left doesn't want others to use ?
