Honestly, I never heard of a President going to Congress for approval like that. He is CinC.
When was the last a high profile member of another country's military was taken out in such a manner by the US?
what difference does it make?
A lot actually. It is one thing to take out someone like OBL who was a terrorist and had been hunted by the world for decades. Soleimani was a member of another country's military. If Iran had taken out Gen. McKenzie in the same manner we did to Soleimani, we would have considered it an overt act of war.
And I am not saying that we should not have taken Soleimani out, but so far all we have is the Admin's word that he was a threat...and for some of us that is not really good enough....no matter who is sitting in the White House. Our government has a long history of lying to us.
in the case of Soleimani ---I do not think that he needed to be hanged was in
question
And what do you base that on? On what our government has told us. This might be a shock to you...but they lie to us all the time.
