Many among the left behaved as if the general that was killed was “the victim” and that President Trump was the villain. (r\/The_Donald)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

President Trump took a series of actions that needed to be taken last week. This included the drone strike that killed Gen. Qassem Soleimani and a militia commander. The Iranians appointed a replacement and declared that they would retaliate. President Trump reminded them of what could happen if they do decide to retaliate.<\/p>\n

However, Democrats in Congress are introducing bills that would limit the president’s ability to pursue his strategic policies relative to Iran. Nancy Pelosi announced that she would start the process in the house. There is a parallel effort in the Senate.<\/p>\n

From Fox News:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

“This week, the House will introduce and vote on a War Powers Resolution to limit the President’s military actions regarding Iran<\/strong><\/span>,” Pelosi wrote in a letter to fellow Democrats, referring to a similar Senate resolution to be introduced by Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va. “It reasserts Congress’s long-established oversight responsibilities by mandating that if no further Congressional action is taken, the Administration’s military hostilities with regard to Iran cease within 30 days.<\/span><\/strong>”<\/p>\n

The first War Powers Resolution was passed in 1973 in an effort to prevent presidents from using the military without congressional approval. Since then, questions of presidential compliance have become common, with controversy stemming from President Bill Clinton’s actions in Kosovo and President Barack Obama’s operations in Libya.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, the White House sent Congress formal notification of the drone strike under the War Powers Act, a senior administration official told The Associated Press. The notification, required by law within 48 hours of the introduction of American forces into an armed conflict or a situation that could lead to war, had to be signed and sent to Congress.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Leave it to the Democrats to try to pull defeat out of the jaws of victory. In the last decade, they tried to scuttle resources and efforts needed for the Iraq War.<\/p>\n

In 1973, after combat troops pulled out of Vietnam, there were provisions in the treaty that allowed the US to take certain courses of action in case the Communists renewed their attacks. The Democrats chose to defund the effort and prevent the US side from providing the support that South Vietnam needed.<\/p>\n

During the Cold War, voices from the left argued for the United States to engage in “one-sided nuclear disarmament”. The common trend? When it comes to strategic matters, the Democrats seem to work towards America’s defeat.<\/p>\n
