No, the War Powers Resolution doesn’t give the president 60 days of free war

The Constitution clearly grants Congress, not the president, the power to declare war.

Trump, forever wars, and Iraq Syndrome

Don’t give Europe or Turkey a say in Iran’s reconstruction

Hand it to European leaders. They are akin to diplomatic poker players who have mastered the art of demanding a cut of the pot without ever offering up their ante in advance.

Iran’s Epic Fury response is pushing neighbors toward Israel

If the United States and Israel’s joint military campaign against the Islamic Republic succeeds, it could forever end the threat Iran poses to the U.S. and its allies.
