January 7, 20205 yr On 1/3/2020 at 3:04 PM, pawnman said: Why couldn't they deploy to Iraq for six months without a new AUMF? As long as they don't start firing across the border, I don't see why the current AUMF wouldn't cover it. My reading of the current AUMF is that it covers individuals and groups responsible for the 9/11 attacks and "associated forces." So I'm curious: my non-lawyer (moron pilot) reading of the language in the authorization seems to not pass muster for us attacking anything Iranian. I'm sure there are rooms of lawyers that have crafted obtuse opinions justifying this crap, but I can't see for the life of me how it isn't a violation of the warpowers act. Hopefully somebody who flunked out of law school before they went to UPT can explain it to me. Not saying this guy doesn't totally deserve what he got, but if the Iranians got off a rocket attack that purposefully targeted and killed the Chairman of the JCS, it would be an act of war, right?

I get we'd need additional authorization to strike Iranian targets. I just don't think Trump would need any further authorization to preposition more forces in the area.

I think the key difference is that this knucklehead was in Baghdad when he caught a warhead. I’d also be willing to speculate that there was pretty good intel linking him to the embassy shenanigans .... or ... he was getting a little too popular / powerful back home and we got tipped off. (retired ... don’t actually know anything ... free to wildly speculate)

January 8, 20205 yr I know the default public answer will be “Americans did this”; but I’m betting money that this was an accidental shoot down by Iranian IADS...Honestly though, a f’in Ukrainian airline, and they’re not turning over the black box to Boeing or US for examination, this is such a surreal time.
