Are you feeling well? Because frankly, you sound a little...off. Furthermore, do you have any idea how wars are fought? Do you think soldiers storm the battlefield with handcuffs to arrest the enemy and bring them to trial?
Well, the biggest difference is that one boat was full of fish and fishing gear, but all the boats that were destroyed appeared to be full of drugs and no fishing gear. By the way, did you ever find any evidence that any actual fishing boats were attacked? I really want to know why so many people are insisting that Trump is blowing up fishing boats.
That's not hear say. There isbvudeo evidence of the strikes. There is testimony from those involved. That is not hearsay.
The first strike was on Sept. 2. That is over 90 days. He is outside his timeframe.
No one is saying there weren't strikes. What testimony of those directly involved? And testimony given to the court? Like you said this is why we have courts.
I will take it that you admit that the president can use military force without congressional approval?
A war on organized drug crime will be over just like that?
According to you they'll be arrested and placed into those handcuffs if they cross that invisible line into US waters. Safe at last! Nice cosy cell. Maybe bail. Chance to get home and try again. Or worse case...a few years locked up. What about all the people you say they are killing?
Okay. You have convinced me. We cannot possibly allow that to happen. So it is probably best to blow them up in international waters before they enter the country. After all, terrorists aren't murdered in international waters just like children aren't murdered in the womb (so I am told). Ironic seeing how both are done to potentially save the lives of young women.
With cooperation from the host nation, these wars can end rather quickly. That's what happened with the drug cartels in southeast Asia.
Ah, I should have been more specific and detailed for any born-yesterday folks out there. Since Trump says he's never gone to war and ended servral wars, any time he does anything that involves the military there's an outcry from his detractors. In this case Trump in an approximation of what he would say is, they're going to know now for sure that whenever they use boats to smuggle drugs into the United States, we're going bomb the tar out of them. Which in theory will put a swift end to that problem.
The Admiral testified before Congress. Other military men have retired and spoken as to this being the cause. I haven't said they testified in court, yet.
He can do lots of things but that doesn't make It legal. Getting Congressional approval would remove the legal issues domestically but there is still International law.
Those were different times before so much enabling passive liberalism had permeated congress and the senate.
Oh, please. Do not try to convince us that you needed to be convinced. You have made your position just about as clear as it can be. Someone who not just excuses but celebrates the execution of defenceless men in the water is not going to have any qualms about it being done on terra firma, whatever the alleged crime. So spare us the pseudo sarcastic agreement.
