WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans rejected a pair of Democratic-backed resolutions Wednesday that would have put a check on President Donald Trump’s power to use military force against drug cartels and the nation of Venezuela.

Democrats forced the votes using war powers resolutions as Trump has stepped up his threats against the South American nation and Congress has questioned how the U.S. military is conducting a campaign that has destroyed 26 vessels allegedly carrying drugs and killed at least 99 people, including an attack Wednesday. The legislation would have forced the Trump administration to seek authorization from Congress before continuing attacks against cartels that it deems to be terrorist organizations in the Western Hemisphere or launching an attack on Venezuela itself.

Rep. Gregory Meeks, the top Democrat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, argued that Trump’s aggressions in the region were really because “the president is coveting Venezuelan oil.”

They were the first votes in the House on Trump’s military campaign in Central and South America. A majority of Republicans in the Senate had previously voted against similar resolutions, and Trump would almost certainly veto them if they were to pass Congress. But Democrats forced the votes as a way to bring up a debate about the military campaign and force Republicans to go on the record about supporting it.

Republicans forced the far left Democratic/Socialist/Communist loons to vote against stopping Narco-terrorists from flooding our country with drugs and killing our citizens, including children.

Maduro is bringing China and Russia into South America. That is not in the US best interest.

Maduro is selling cheap oil to our advisory China and selling drugs into the US and Europe neither is good for the US.

Remember when Saddam was providing a haven for radical Muslim extremists? That is why we went into Iraq. Oh, wait or was it WMD? Or was it to liberate the people? Or was it, if we fight them there, we won't have to fight them here.


You fools are going to get us into another never-ending war, arent you?>
 
Venezuela expropriated the oil industry in Venezuela from American companies. International courts ruled that it was illegal. It is time we repossess it back.

Sounds awful similar to the late 19th Century, except at that time it was the American Fruit Company

Not really war for oil but more war to prevent a dictator from harming Americans. Stopping foreign leaders from harming American is what the military is for. Getting our property back is just a good side effect.
