Within minutes of Saturday night’s successful U.S. strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities, the jihad wing of the U.S. Democrat Party threw a public wing ding, threatened to impeach the president, and one of them was given a star turn on Tehran TV..
There is serious concern following the air strike on the three nuke sites, of course. And, naturally, the question is: what happens now? But, frankly, reactions by the Hamas wing of the Squad were a little pat — hoping to gin up some outrage and score political points. They face political headwinds in a country in which 79% of their fellow Democrats overwhelmingly oppose a nuclear Iran.
If the strikes were as successful as advertised, then Trump just solved that problem.
Now, the Squad wants to lynch him.
Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D-Mogadishu) issued a statement claiming that the strikes “mark a dangerous and reckless escalation of an already volatile conflict in the Middle East.” She added, “Military strikes will not bring peace. They will only provoke more violence, destabilize the region, and endanger U.S. troops and civilians.”
Furthermore, she claimed that no effort at diplomacy had been taken, saying, “We’ve seen what happens when diplomacy is sidelined in favor of bombs.” She apparently doesn’t remember that the mullahs left the negotiating table in Europe.
Sounding a little like Trump, Omar said, “The American people are tired of endless war. We need to end this madness before more lives are lost.”
Statement from Rep. Ilhan Omar on U.S. Bombing of Iran:
“The strikes on Iran, ordered by President Trump and executed without congressional authorization, mark a dangerous and reckless escalation of an already volatile conflict in the Middle East.
“Military strikes will not…

Omar’s remarks were featured on Iranian TV (probably because she was the only member of the Squad appropriately attired for the mullahs’ 7th century sensibilities).

The mission was flawlessly carried off because nobody leaked the details, whispered to a reporter, or dropped a dime to a mullah. But Omar was joined by Michigan’s Rashida Tlaib (D-Gaza), who demanded to know why they were not told the details of the mission and allowed to give their consent.
She wrote that the limited U.S. strike was “an act of war” and unconstitutional.

She rightly worries about the U.S. allowing itself to be dragged into another endless war in a 7th century hellhole.

Massachusetts Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley wants Congress to take immediate action “to rein in Trump.”
This is a violation of the Constitution that is risking innocent lives.
We do not need another deadly, endless war.
Congress must act immediately to rein in Trump. https://t.co/g5JqDOrKdh

Representative Pramila Jayapal (D-CHAZ), an unofficial member of the Squad, took a minute off from celebrating another day of PRIDE to sing from the Squad’s song sheet.
The authority to declare war belongs solely to Congress. Trump’s unconstitutional and escalatory strikes risk drawing US troops and the American people—who are overwhelmingly opposed—into another forever war. Congress must immediately exercise our duty to restrain this President.

Texas Democrat Jasmine Crocket (D-Crazyville) scolded the president: “Here is yet another reminder that the Constitution is not optional…Congress must authorize military force before any president—including Trump—launches a strike.”

The only one who didn’t stick to the talking points was New York Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who added that she wa Trump to be impeached, too.
The President’s disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers.He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations.It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.

As I’ve long maintained, this was the correct move by @POTUS.
Iran is the world’s leading sponsor of terrorism and cannot have nuclear capabilities.
I’m grateful for and salute the finest military in the world. 🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/YZ0pIaunff

We’re sure the lawfare crowd will try to tie up Trump in the courts over this issue. The Authorized Use of Military Force doesn’t include Iran, according to Just Security, but there is room under the Constitution in which the president may use force “to protect an important national interest.”

What Iran has done to Americans without nuclear weapons has been bad enough. Just look at this list:
Dear Iran,
This is for storming our embassy and kidnapping our diplomats.
This is for the US Marines that were killed in Beirut.
This is for the 600+ Americans you have killed.
This is for Hezbollah.
This is for Hamas.
This is for the Houthis.Fuck you.https://t.co/3jPxbXu8m4

Now, imagine Iran with a nuke.
