Lawmakers on Capitol Hill fear members of President Trump’s inner circle are pushing the commander-in-chief into starting a war with Iran and they’re taking steps to stop it.
A small group of lawmakers is arguing that President Donald Trump does not have the power to launch a new war against Iran without first getting permission from Congress.
Seth Moulton said at a news conference. "We will fight Iran again if we have to. But war right now is not necessary. None of us underestimate the threat that Iran poses. None of us would hesitate to use force if it led to a lasting peace.
We know war would be bloody and young Americans in the community we represent would pay the highest price.
Veterans groups have long called for Congress to re-examine the authorizations for military force passed nearly 20 years ago before the Afghanistan and Iraq wars, which have been used to justify other military actions in Syria, Libya, and elsewhere.
Where were these politicians when Obama/Clinton went on a war spree in Syria and Libya? And which war that lead to a lasting peace? Just a thought.
