I think a few posters are missing a point on the `Congress seeking to limit Trump's war powers' angle.
Who says he's looking to go to war? A few MOPs dropped on Fordo and Natanz is not war. He doesn't need Congressional approval to do so - just needs to tell them within two days of doing it and wrap it up within 60 days.
I think the positioning of US forces in the region may be to help shoot down a furious Iranian ballistic missile response if he does so, and to protect US bases from any retaliation.
Were he to want to respond medium term if Iran does target US forces and bases in the region - might be a different story - that's looking more like war.
Anyways, I think we'll see TACO rather than any decisive action - I hope I'm wrong.
He's just loving the drama and being the centre of attention - but this isn't an episode of The Apprentice.
