Past presidents (D and R) had the option but never went that route. They would not even give Israel the green light to take him out.

really well written article by Holman Jenkins

Would also like to point out that if you follow what has been happening in Iraq, you would know that any advantage we used to have by having a presence in Iraq, has been slipping away. Therefor concern about upsetting the Iraqis is really a non issue. In fact Trump probably welcomed it .

Can we agree the WSJ is left-wing and anti-American? @zagguru

The smarter cable TV commentators spent Friday patiently disowning any particular forecast or insight into how events in the Middle East would play out now that the U.S. has assassinated Iran’s terrorist chief, Qasem Soleimani, with a drone strike on his car as he was leaving Baghdad’s airport.

Can we at least agree that Sanders and other left-wing politicians calling it an "assassination" is just wrong and anti-american?

Trump is an idiot for threatening cultural sites. Besides the ethical issues and how it blurs the separation between us and ISIS, it is a great way to mobilize the Iranian public behind the current regime in any conflict.

The threat itself is problematic.

Keep enabling him.
This is who he is, a complete ego maniac idiot. He thinks he knows more than all our great military minds.

I think he said cultural targets, not necessarily sites
ayatollahs would be cultural targets, no?

Every president since the passage of the War Powers Act over the veto of President Nixon has maintained that it was unconstitutional and that the president has the right as commander in chief to act unilaterally.

This is besides that action against Iran can easily be included in Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Terrorists[/size] from 2001.
