Sanders introduces measure to block funding for Iran strikes
« on: January 05, 2020, 12:03:39 am »
 By Andrew Blake - The Washington Times - Saturday, January 4, 2020

A bill announced Friday by two progressives on Capitol Hill would prohibit funding offensive U.S. military action against Iran or its leaders without obtaining prior authorization from Congress.

Sen. Bernard Sanders, Vermont independent, and Rep. Ro Khanna, California Democrat, announced the measure hours after a U.S. airstrike killed a top Iranian official in Iraq.

The Department of Defense said President Trump authorized the airstrike that killed Gen. Qassem Soleimani, the head of Iran’s elite Quds Force, to prevent future attacks.

This is a great idea.  Tell Iran ahead of time that they can do whatever they wish, and we won't retaliate.

Brilliant.

Funding.   Trump doesn't need no stinking funding.  Sanders is a communist fool.

Brilliant.

Look at the language. "offensive".  Doesn't say the President can't  make them glow as self DEFENSE.

Whatever you say, Scooter.  We'll just let the adults deal with Iran, mkay?
