B-Man Posted 52 minutes ago Posted 52 minutes ago The Democrats’ Latest Faux Scandal By John Hinderaker Here are my thoughts on the controversy: 1) The story is based on anonymous “sources,” i.e., deep state leakers. Unless and until someone steps forward, identifies himself, tells us what he knows and how he knows it, and takes responsibility for his statements, I assume everything in the story is probably a lie. 2) Given the lack of regard for the “law of armed conflict” that is consistently shown by our enemies, my reaction is: boo hoo. 3) Is there really a “law of armed conflict” that says you can only shoot at a target once? And if someone escapes an initial bombing, or burst of fire, or whatever, he is home free and can’t again be targeted? I’d like to see that law. I haven’t seen any news source cite to it. 4) If such a rule exists and applies in the present context, it is stupid. If it applies, and one were determined to follow it, it would incentivize a massive first strike that would eliminate any chance of survivors. And would also increase the risk of collateral, unintended damage. Meanwhile, it appears that the Trump administration may be intent on bringing about regime change in Venezuela. If armed conflict develops, the fate of the narco-traffickers will soon be forgotten. https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2025/11/the-democrats-latest-faux-scandal.php 1
