Iran-Contra. Tell the Iranians and the Nicaraguans that that wasn't a war.I think left wingers are OK with it so long as no one starts a war who has a "R" by their name. The funny thing is, "W" was the only Republican since Lincoln to over see a war.
What about Bush Sr. and Gulf War Episode I?
It's also really convenient that Congress just votes to give the Executive the authority to do as he pleases with the military instead of actually declaring war.
First of all, I could care less about Bush and his war that the democrats in Congress voted to engage in.
Secondly, I don't support all of these "conflicts". However, Obama did not even consult Congress for going to war in Libya. He even violated the War Powers Act by not consulting with them in a 60 day period. His response that all the fighting was not really a war.
