Senate Votes to Repeal 2002 Authorization for Iraq War -- Finally

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

38% : Our President's response to this escalation seems to have been to pull his punches and let Tehran have the last word.
34% : "After a small initial response from the Biden Administration, Iran launched yet more attacks over the weekend, aimed at killing even more Americans.
30% : An Administration that cannot even deter Iran from openly attacking U.S. servicemembers is not going to be able to deter the People's Republic of China.
27% : AUMF is still being used to justify military action in places like Somalia, Yemen, and Syria, where Iran and ISIS are still attacking Americans.
22% : Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said in a statement, "our terrorist enemies aren't sunsetting their war against us.""While the Senate's been engaged in this abstract, theoretical debate about rolling back American power, Iran has continued its deadly attacks on us.
17% : The 2001 AUMF is broad enough to authorize military action against Iran as a sponsor of terrorism, so even though military action against Tehran isn't imminent, there is nothing to prevent the president from going to war with Iran if circumstances warrant it.
