Interesting.
I'd thought I'd heard it all from these leftists, but this is a new one.
Slinging bomb-laden cruise missiles at a foreign country that has not attacked us, is no longer an act of war. It's now merely "degrading the capacity of a man".
Maybe he's using that phrase, because "overseas contingency operation" and "workplace violence" were already taken?
There will be no "boots on the ground", after all.
BTW, I guess that means that the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, also wasn't an act of war. It was, after all, only a "limited air strike" aimed at "degrading the capacity" our Navy in the Pacific ocean
True also for the 9/11 attacks. No boots on the ground there, remember.
I'm so glad this administration is there to give us the REAL definitions of these things. Think how confused and misled we'd be without them.

"Hes simply saying we need to take an action that can degrade the capacity of a man whos willing to kill his own people by breaking a nearly 100-year-old prohibition, and will we stand up and be counted to say we wont do that."
