Congress rethinks 9/11 law on military force
AP News | May 16, 2013

"The testimony prompted incredulity from Sen. Angus King, I-Maine."

""I've only been here five months, but this is the most astounding and most astoundingly disturbing hearing that I've been to since I've been here," King told the witnesses. "You guys have essentially rewritten the Constitution here today. The Constitution Article I, Section 8, Clause 11 clearly says that the Congress has the power to declare war.""

"King complained that the administration was reading the authority of the law to "cover everything and anything.""

Unless we fight them with impunity, derision and extreme prejudice and then close these borders down we will fight them forever or until they win.

Evil never rests, only regroups.

Only 20 years? Obama’s just not that old. I guess the half-life of a dicator isn’t what it used to be.

The US is no closer to the end of its “war on terror” than before, even after having beheaded al-Qaeda in the 2011 operation that wiped out the terror group’s leader Osama Bin Laden. Now a senior Pentagon official has predicted another 20 years of the mission against al-Qaeda

Al Qaeda is a euphemism for fundmental Muslims who follow the Koran and Hadiths as written and therefore want to kill us Infidels and introduce Sharia.
The deception is to make it sound like if we neutralize Al Qaeda the Muslim problem goes away.
Importing Islam into our society is like importing cancer into your body. I don't care how healthy or athletic you are, in the long run cancer will kill you. Islam will try to do the same to an Infidel country.
If we don't face up to that fact our country dies a slow death. . - Tom

If I'd been president in September, 2001, there'd have been no so-called "War on Terror." I'd have launched a retaliatory strike against Islam, and that would have been the end of jihad.

20 years? Sen. King obviously does not know anything about or understand islam, does he?

Sorry, Sen. Unless you wipe 1 billion people out, this pestilence is with us forever. Or at least until all middle eastern oil reserves are depleted in 400 years. Because, at that point, what of value can they offer the world for cash? Sand?

There is no war on terror or terrorists or enemy warriors.

The criminal acts will be decided in a court room because the war on terror de facto ended on 20 January 2009.

If the war continues it is because of an 8 year hiatus during the Obama years.

It is now an iron clad certainty that the greatest enemy of America is the Dempcrat party.
