If the Democrats wanted to impeach over something, this is it. The POTUS unilaterally assassinated a foreign general on Iraqi soil without trial and without a declaration of war from Congress. It was wrong when Obama did it and it’s wrong now. Why anyone is comfortable with this, I’ll never understand.

Unbelievable.

Bin Laden was a Saudi. I don't seem to remember a declaration of war against SA when he was taken out. I am ok with this operation just like I was ok with that one. Just another terrorist getting his just desserts.

He was actually a designated terrorist and the Qud Force was designated as a foreign terrorist organization by the United States government.

In this situation, Trump actually couldn’t ask for better coverage.

By the same people that told us Iraq had WMDs. The same people that couldn’t find Bin Laden for a decade. The same people that got our ambassadors killed in Libya. The same people that have lied to us for a decade about the situation in Afghanistan. The same people that whiffed on 9/11.

The POTUS just assassinated a foreign political figure without trial. Obama used the same executive powers to execute and American citizen in Yemen. It isn’t right. They don’t have this power Constitutionally. It’s illegal.

So Congress declared war on Iran? No? Unconstitutional.

So, he was convicted in an international court in abstentia? No? Unconstitutional.

No one should feel comfortable with our gov’t killing people without trial or declaration of war.

What tf do you not understand about “He was labeled as a terrorist”? Do you think we have to go and get approval from Congress every time we drop a hellfire on a terrorist target?

Yes, the same people said there were WMD’s and etc., but that doesn’t change the fact that he was still designated as a terrorist. Geez, stfu already.

You were ok when the magic black man did it though, right. Killing American citizens without a trial?

Also, it isn’t as if his being labeled a terrorist is new.

The Quds Force has been labeled a terrorist organization since 2007.

Got put on 12 hr timeout by Twitter because I was defending Trump against Blue checkmark in the comment section.

These frickers really melting over the fact American blood hasn't been spilt.

Substantial rebuttal.


It’s amazing to me that half the board is perfectly OK with the POTUS acting unilaterally without Congressional approval and without the backing of a court of any kind to assassinate a foreign general in a blatant act of war. When Iran inevitably responds and we get into a shooting war, it will be because the POTUS declared war via executive order.

We got congressional approval in 2003? To invade Iraq and we've never left.

Do we need approval approval, sympathizer?
