[Marxism] Congress goes on vacation without acting onH.Con.Res.362 (naval blockade of Iran)

[S. Artesian]

Marvin,

As I said before you really need to pay more attention.  This thread began 
with Fred posting an article on Bolton's threats, with the self-proclaimed 
ruthless critic questioning warlike intentions when major ruling class 
interests are so opposed to such action, and my response that major 
interests are in favor of military action, while at the same time, no matter 
who wants what, what matter is what capital requires.

You then entered, doubting also the interests of the ruling class in 
military action, and I responded including in the response characterization 
of the HR as "carte blanche"  which you found to be grossly misleading to 
say the least.

Now you dismiss the escalation of military actions against Hersh.  That 
escalation is the point of Hersh's article, in that congress has 
allowed/sanctioned/funded  a qualitatively different type of engagement, 
including bypassing the military command structure, and approved "defensive 
lethality" without any understanding what that means, or so the elite eight 
claim, but that's just diversion.  Everybody knows what killing is.

Fred and I have maintained focus on precisely the substance of the issue. 
You apparently can't even be bothered to read about it.
