Commentary by Hugh Hansen

It is universally agreed Iran cannot be allowed to have nuclear weapons. Contrary to Mr. Corbett's assertion, the president's messaging has been neither clear nor consistent. 

Nor, indeed, truthful. 

The War Powers Resolution gave a specific time frame. The political will to pass it came in the aftermath of the long conflict in Vietnam; that is utterly unrelated to its legal requirements.

Hansen is a contributing pundit for The Hustings.
