The Boland Amendment was actually a series of amendments passed in the 1980s
that eventually banned any money from the US Government being spent as military aid to the Contras in Nicaragua.We need a new one, only this one should be
to ban the spending of any money by the US Government to fight within the territorial limits of Iran. We might stick a two year time limit on it since any other administration wouldn’t be crazy enough to do it barring a real provocation. Right now, it is very plausible that this administration and it’s willing enablers like Lieberman will create a provocation to attack Iran-something that can only result in a complete disaster for the entire region, if not planet.
This is insane, if it is written in such a way that America could not defend itself against an attack, then it would be treason - which it sounds like anyway. If it is written in such a way that America could respond to an attack on itself, would it block actions taken in response to an attack on Iraq. If so that would be traitorous. If an attack on American or Iraq forces or interests allowed action to be taken, and the writers believe that the President and others are dishonest enough to take illegal means to provoke an attack, then why bother writing the law. This is stupid empty political theater.
