@rgoodlaw @SenDuckworth @steve_vladeck @just_security Not sure apples 2 apples. War w/ Iran q's usually about bombing nuke sites, not defending US troops deployed to Iraq under AUMF-02.* Whether it authorizes the former is a separate analysis from the latter, no? * putting aside whether secret intel actually supports that rationale

@rgoodlaw @SenDuckworth @steve_vladeck @just_security If the US deploys armed forces to country X under an AUMF, does their attendant right to self-defense derive from that AUMF or Article II? Kinda both, no?
