If U.S. *is* bombing Iran, what justification do they have?

Are there any outstanding U.N.S.C. resolutions or Congressional Resolutions that allow it?

Or would it be completely illegal.

Is anyone else outraged that the U.S. could be presently engaged in an illegal war in Iran?

1. Retribution for the 1996 Khobar Towers attack?

But, I don't know if there are any outstanding UN resolutions against Iran.

There are DOZENS against Israel, we should be invading them.

4. Do the majority of Americans know we are bombing Iran?

Not a peep of it anywhere, especially in Congress.

5. None

They don't need any, bcause they use London-based terrorist groups with local ties. The "El Salvador" option. They will just deny having any connection to them, if anyone should have the audacity to ask.

9. Exactly. That's why we need the bases in Iraq. We need a

certain degree of control there to export terror to Iran, Syria and eventually, Saudi Arabia.

Just as we used Guatemala to control terrorists in El Salvador, Nicaragua, Honduras.

6. P-N-A-C.

They did push through some resolution pertaining to regime change sometime ago; however, I doubt they could successfully argue that the resolution granted them authority to wage another war.

BUT, hell, you know these guys,...they don't merely push the envelope they burn it.

10. No justification, and yeah I am sure it's our Special Forces that are

doing it. We've been on the ground in there for months.

15. Any Justification the USA's Dear Leader gives is proof enough

to bomb the hell out of any damn country he chooses. Don't you realize that we were reminded again on C-SPAN that * was selected by God! So step in line Christian Patriot. We haven't killed them all yet. The Rapture is a coming! :sarcasm:

They will bomb because Iran is harboring Osama.
