I Know Why

 

Why didn't POTUS tell Congress?

So they wouldn't tell Iran the exact moment it was going to start.

But, OK, Tom, the president needs Congress to approve of a war.  What are you waiting for?  Tehran to get nukes and make a parking lot out of NYC?

Iran has been pushing for this fight for nearly 40 years, where have you been on stopping it?

Go on, Tom, tell me you would have authorized these strikes if you'd been asked.

But we both know better, don't we?

You've a stated position that the US should do nothing militarily until Congress votes.  Regardless of how timely that vote might be.

I read your bill.

The bill that failed.

Stop acting like it passed and was signed into law.
