Does anyone else wonder if Iran used the money Obama gave them in cash to purchase the drones used against Saudi Arabia?

2) The attack presents no clear threat to US forces in the region to the extent that would justify US military response without prior Congressional authorization;
3) This attack upon the Sunni Muslim Kingdom of Saudi Arabia by the Shi'ite Muslim Islamic Republic of Iran cannot conceivably fall under the aegis of the Global War on Terror declared by Congress in 2001 against Sunni Islamist extremism;
4). Any US military action against the Islamic Republic of Iran in response to this attack absolutely requires prior declaration of war by Congress (which currently lacks casus belli, as I've demonstrated above).
