Keyword "introduction", not "hostilities" (Score 1)

The legal question relates to the wording in the War Powers Resolution (linked to by the NY Times article). Do drone strikes constitute an introduction of US Armed Forces into hostilities (or imminent hostilities)? The key language for me is "introduction of Armed Forces", not "hostilities".

It is arguable that "introduction of Armed Forces" refers to servicemen & women being within danger of attack from a hostile force. The context of the War Powers Resolution (passed in the Vietnam aftermath) justifies this interpretation, not merely that we have fired weapons against a troublesome dictator.

Assad, you're next!
