The House passed two measures aimed at restricting the president’s war powers, including a bipartisan amendment sponsored by Reps. Ro Khanna and Matt Gaetz.
The assassination of Maj. Gen. Qassim Suleimani may be President Donald Trump’s most reckless foreign policy move to date.
The continued self-confidence of neocons like David Wurmser is odd given how all their beliefs were proven disastrously wrong in Iraq.
But the measure includes an exception for situations when military force is “necessary and appropriate to defend against an imminent attack” on Americans.
The legacy of the Iraq war, and Donald Trump’s assassination of an Iranian official in Baghdad, has the potential to transform the Democratic primary.
A path forward exists: the path of a solidarity-oriented mass movement coupled with direct action.
When Trump was told that Qassim Suleimani “runs the Quds Forces,” he responded: “I think the Kurds, by the way, have been horribly mistreated by us.”
An Iranian intelligence document describes a meeting between Iran’s Quds Force and the Muslim Brotherhood in a Turkish hotel. It didn’t go well.
Iran was the great beneficiary of the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq, which created an opportunity for Iraq’s Shia majority to gain power in Baghdad.
