If you have no legitimate reason for an unprovoked war, you must invent one:
Republicans, by contrast, have largely sidestepped the renewed war powers debate, many of them echoing Mr. Trump’s justification for resuming the fight.
“The fact of the matter is, President Trump is the first president dealing with what has been the status quo for decades — which is Iran attacking everybody’s ships, everybody’s navy, everybody’s anything going through the Strait of Hormuz,” Representative Brian Mast, the Florida Republican who chairs the Foreign Relations Committee, said on Friday during an interview on Fox News. “After this escalation from them, we are now the United States of America that says this is not going to be the status quo. It’s going to change.”
It’s not just that these “attacks” have not been “the status quo for decades,” the attacks on :everybody’s anything going through the Strait of Hormuz” happened only because of the war that Mast supports. Alas, it’s not like there’s any better defense of the war.
