   “Only Congress can declare war!”

   True.

   But let’s clarify:

   Obama (2011) – Bombed Libya w/o approval, claiming it didn’t count as “hostilities” under the War Powers Act

   Clinton (’99) – Bombed Yugoslavia after Congress voted against it. Also struck Iraq, intervened in Haiti.

   Reagan – Sent troops to Grenada, Lebanon, armed Central America factions

   H.W. – Invaded Panama w/o Congressional OK

   This isn’t defending Trump. It’s about clarity before spin sets in

     @flexghost there are so many more that were "legal" because of the stupid pre authorized nonsense to fight against "terror".

     I have been supporting murder and calamity with my taxes for 35 years now. I'm getting tired
