A bold prediction and/or very well considered one?

My reaction was when they delay something they really want to pass it but do not want to face the backlash so they wait for a dead news time like Xmas or overwhelm the public when a lot of news is happening.

My problem is with or without AUMF, Congress dies not spend much time on why we intervene or how to win. We need to fight, because we are being fought, but there is no real acknowledgement that we are in harms way.

China is at war with Australia right now, It is a grey war, but it is war nonetheless.
