From the tone of your responses, I gather most of you disagree with Rep. Hunter's view on this humanitarian venture.

Please, if you will, try to project the policy that's been implemented into the next six months, year, or until the end of 0bama's reign on Jan. 20, 2013. More of these interventions are likely to occur unless Congress gets up on its high horse and puts a stop to them.

It's not a question of who we are supporting or whether the country in question is run as a dictatorship. And it's not whether it's a "humanitarian mission" to save lives.

It's whether the President, all by himself, has or should have the power to initiate war on another sovereign nation. That's what the Founders of this country were most concerned about, and the reason for that line in the Constitution, Article I, Section 8.

War is a serious--the most serious--act a nation's government can commit to. It is not something you would want one person, no matter how well-liked or experienced or knowledgeable in military matters, having power to declare on another nation.

It's time for a serious discussion about how far afield we've gone from the days when Congress had the powers--and only those powers--delegated to it in the Constitution.

Your points are well taken but will be lost on the American people who not only do not understand the Constitution but do not CARE. Only a few of us whackjobs even have a clue.

Another huge problem unaddressed by the Treason Media is how is this legal even under the NATO charter? Since no NATO member was attacked by Daffy what gives the organization the authority to do anything against him? NATO forces are in Afghanistan because the US was attacked. It is illegal from a national and international perspective. Obama is now a WAR CRIMINAL.
