On Monday, the president’s lack of a plan in Iran was outlined in stark terms in a letter to Congress obtained by CBS News officially informing lawmakers of the strikes.

“Although the United States desires a quick and enduring peace, it is not possible at this time to know the full scope and duration of military operations that may be necessary,” Trump said in the letter.

U.S. forces “remain postured to take further action… to address further threats and attacks upon the United States or its allies and partners,” he continued.

The letter was sent under the War Powers Act, a 1973 resolution requiring the president to notify Congress within 48 hours of deploying U.S. forces if Congress has not declared war. The deployment cannot last more than 60 days without congressional approval.

      Do you have something to say there wasn’t planning? Because that’s your claim with 0 evidence, which beats their something.

        Sorry, my argument depends on reality that someone who isn’t a moron can observe. If you haven’t been able to discern a lack of preparation from all of the available evidence that we have been bombarded with over the last three days then nothing I say is going to pull your head out of your ass for you.

          No your point is that your trying to be the loudest voice.

          All you have are insults instead of anything of substance.

          Have the day you deserve.

            Sorry you are too fucking stupid to have a conversation with normal people. I hope you go away and never come back. Oh wait, that is achievable. Buh bye.
