They launched at least a dozen ballistic missiles from Iran. Killing a general from another country is considered an act of war. Unless Congress starts asserting its authority to declare war, we are going to continue to have the Executive branch overreaching. This is not only my opinuon, but that of several Senators including Rand Paul.

FFE, splash over. Splash out.

I really don&#39;t think our generals had a chance to war-game the scenario and possible consequences. We shot from the hip.<br /><br />The missile attacks might be a face saving operation. No US SMs wounded or killed - no harm no foul. It is up to us now with a response if any. Having said that, if I was an Iranian military planner I would say those SOBs will pay for it one way or the other by further supporting terrorists and insurgencies, which is of great value to them as the US has spent a few trillion dollars for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

If this is the extent of Iran&#39;s response to the death of Soleimani then they have capitulated. Iran does not want war with the US and Trump wants to bring home the troops. Hopefully, cooler heads will prevail. Washington and the press seem to be the only entities interest in a war.
