Issues Under Fire: The Air Strikes: Were They Legal?




Issues Under Fire show

Summary: Despite the fact that no loss of life was reported and damages appeared to be minimal, the U.K.'s Prime Minister Teresa May and French President Emmanuel Macron are facing tough questions from their respective Parliaments. Not so in the U.S.; the U.S. Congress is virtually silent. May was criticized for not seeking parliamentary approval for the coordinated attack and Marcon was accused of engaging in an "irresponsible escalation" that did not have European or French parliament support. But considering the United States is being led by a pathological liar, Congress' silence is deafening. And that makes the least sense of all. That's why I'm asking the questions.
