Re: Iran War Resolution May Be Passed Next Week

Quote:
House Concurrent Resolution 362 contains no such language (concerning the use of U.S. military force).
Actually, yes it does. See the last paragraph right before you get to the proposed resolutions by Congress. It reads, "Whereas nothing in this resolution shall be construed as an authorization of the use of force again Iran..."

Regardless, I see both resolutions as strong precursors to a possible invasion on Iran. The arguments used in both resolutions are nearly identical to those used to invade Iraq. Only this time, there is positive proof of Iran's nuclear enrichment/weapons manufacturing program(s), as well as their threat to use same against the U.S. and their foreign interests.
