As Twitchy reported earlier, Iran launched missiles at an American air base in Qatar in retaliation for the Trump administration's bombing of Iran's nuclear enrichment sites Saturday night. Fortunately, the United States reported no casualties. President Donald Trump said on Truth Social that 14 missiles were fired, 13 were shot down, and one was "set free" because it didn't pose a threat. Word is that the Trump administration isn't considering responding to the attack in Qatar because it considers Iran's missile strike "symbolic" — they knew they had to do something to answer the bombings.
Sen. Chuck Schumer, who was informed of the strike on Iran in advance, is complaining that Congress wasn't informed ahead of time and hopes that the Trump administration doesn't "make the same mistake it made this weekend by launching strikes without giving any details to Congress."
Chuck Schumer (@SenSchumer) ~ I’ve seen press reports that Iranian missiles are targeting U.S. military bases in the Middle East—putting the lives of thousands of American servicemembers at immediate risk.
I’ve asked the Trump administration to give me a classified briefing to lay out the full threat picture, the intelligence behind Iran’s retaliation, and the details, scope, and timeline of any U.S. response. Most importantly, I’ve demanded they lay out exactly what measures they’re taking—right now—to keep our servicemembers safe.
The Trump administration should not make the same mistake it made this weekend by launching strikes without giving any details to Congress.
The law requires the Trump administration to consult with Congress. The Constitution demands it. And the American people—especially the families of those in harm’s way—deserve nothing less.
The same mistake it made this weekend? You mean not informing Congress and having them leak the details of the strike to the media and, thus, Iran? The mission was a resounding success precisely because Congress wasn't given the opportunity to undermine it.
Awww, Chuckles - you buffoonish dumbf**k - you're bitching about having some sort of say in protecting Americans from impotent Iranian fireworks, and meanwhile, President Trump is already announcing a ceasefire. BWHA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!! You're a day late and a trillion dollars short, jackass.

~ JJ ~ (@jnicolem) ~ {Replying to @SenSchumer} You were briefed on the operation this weekend prior to its start. Don't act like you didn't know about it.
