The Japanese conducted a limited Air Strike only.....no Boots on the Ground attack a while back at a place called Pearl Harbor as I recall.

I spent the evening watching the Senate Committee hearing that led to the 10/7 Vote. I also watched the Committee debate amendments to the Senate Resolution.

Rand Paul and some others made very good arguments.....Menedez quite plainly is manipulating the process to favor Obama. He tabled an Amendment that would have forced a debate on exactly what powers a President has re initiating Military Attacks and if it is possible to engage in War like activities without Declaring War on the Nation being attacked.

The Democrats very much do not want to go there.....as that would effectively kill this proposed venture by Obama.
