And you fail to understand that the law says at his discretion the president can attack organizations or persons he deems connected in any way to those that perpetrated 9/11.

Unconstitutionally vague. There is no AQ citizenship. There is no membership list. By that standard of association, the President could kill any Muslim he desires.

The president’s authority is a closed question given that law.

You wish.

You are correct. According to that law, and the way it is written, the president can kill anyone he deems connected to Al Qaeda or any of its aiding organizations or persons.

And after 9/11 the nation clamored for and applauded this joint congressional action. At the time they were probably right, but they didn’t put an end date on it.

And the assassination of our ambassador and seals in Libya is evidence that the war continues, despite the CinC’s apparent inactivity in saving our people.

I really don’t care if people pretend this wide open authorization isn’t there, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t there. It’s in black and white. It’s in the congressional record. It is public law duly passed by our Congress.

So, as they say, “read ‘em and weep.”
