Chickenhawks squawk: 'This was an act of war'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

WASHINGTON — Lawmakers quickly reacted after Iran fired more than a dozen missiles at U.S. troops and coalition forces in Iraq on Tuesday, an apparent retaliation for a U.S. drone strike days earlier that killed one of Tehran's most powerful generals, Qasem Soleimani.

On Fox News, Senator Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., stated that he "just got off the phone" with Trump about the situation and that if Iran continues "this crap" they are "going to wake up one day out of the oil business."

“This was an act of war, Sean, by any reasonable definition,” Graham continued, before declaring that “the President has all the authority he needs under Article II to respond. How he responds is yet to be determined.”

Marco Rubio, R-Fla., tweeted that "#Iran is now openly calling for American’s to turn on each other. The time will come to debate U.S. policy. Tonight American & allied troops have come under direct attack by a nation-state & Americans must come together to support & protect them & respond appropriately."

The busiest oil shipping route on the planet.

They could mine the Strait of Hormuz with speedboats.

Irresponsible rhetoric from a sycophant.
