The Truth About the Second Strike on the Drug Boat Begins to Emerge

Well, one thing we do know: you pretty much can't believe anything negative the Washington Post says about the Trump administration.

   Nevertheless, it does seem like a second drone strike was conducted, and it sounds like the intent was to kill the two survivors of the first strike. And they were out of the fight, clinging to wreckage.

   But it now sounds as if Hegseth did not specifically order that strike, and not for the reason in question.

   It still sounds like a war crime to me...or would...if this were a war...which...well...it doesn't sound like it is...

   I guess I'm going to have to--finally, reluctantly--start taking this stuff seriously.

   Let me go back to one of my very old gripes: 

   [1] Congress needs to start declaring wars again

   [2] We need to terminate the AUMF of 2001.

   Trump could still have ordered the initial strikes. But he couldn't just keep doing it without Congressional approval.
