attack against the President on this site. Strong criticism of policy or lack of it is not a personal attack. Currently, the President has declared a unilateral right to attack a sovereign nation that poses no threat to the United States, without the consent of Congress, the UN, our allies or the will of the American people. Such an act is without precedent, is illegal, and rises to the level of an impeachable offense should it be implemented. That is not a personal attack. It is a statement of fact.
