VDH: The Left Called Trump’s Iran Strike ‘Illegal.’ Their History of Inconsistency Says Otherwise

The Left has no ground to stand on for ridiculing President Donald Trump’s strike against Iran’s nuclear facilities.

President Obama Barack did not seek formal congressional authority to bomb Libya in 2011, nor in January 2017, when he ordered B-2 bombers to strike ISIS targets inside the country, one of his last acts as President.

President Trump has seemingly quelled the concerned of many on the MAGA Right, making certain that last Saturday’s strike was a ‘designated, finite’ act, and not a pre-requisite for a protracted ground invasion, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”

“They have concerns that this "America First," MAGA agenda does not want to get into optional wars in the Middle East. But this is not a 1991 preliminary to an invasion, 2003 preliminary to invasion, 2011 preliminary to Gaddafi regime change. This was a designated, finite act. And now it's over with and it's up to Iran to do what it wants. It can either negotiate and become a peaceful presence with peaceful nuclear power or it can continue its terror. But it has no terrorist appendages to hurt us, really. And we'll see.”
