The idea that we can "easily" overthrow the regime in Iran is a fantasy of people that have never served. Afghanistan is back in the hands of the Taliban after 20 years of slaughter. Iraq still isn't peaceful. Libya is a war zone that's been in civil war since we dropped bombs. History is screaming!

The Trump administration told us that Iran was days away from having a nuclear bomb. That was their whole reasoning for getting involved. Now they say they'll make a decision on if they're going to take military action in two weeks. Which is it?

Half the Republicans for war are telling me it’s necessary because Iran might get nukes soon, which they’ve been saying for 30 years, while the other half say we have to go to war to help Israel or God will condemn us to Hell.

(D) Sen. Tim Kaine's resolution on war powers is an important reminder of the constitutional role Congress plays in the declaration of war. This shouldn't be up for discussion, per the Constitution only Congress has the power to declare war. No war!

For those unconditionally cheering the attacks on Iran, remember that our early strikes in Afghanistan and Iraq were “successful”. But we ended up getting dragged into costly wars that created more terrorists than we killed. The American people haven’t forgotten that.
