U.S. Amb. to U.N.: Time to Act Outside Legal Framework

The Weekly Standard ^ | Sep 9, 2013 | DANIEL HALPER

[Eric in the Ozarks]

NPR recognizes UN’s oversight of the US...
What does that tell you ?

[hal ogen]

So the next time I get a traffic ticket I should say to the cop “I guess it was time to act outside legal framework”?

[Tilted Irish Kilt]

Yes , all three ,death by hanging (oct 16th , 1946)
Alfred Jodl tried to defend himself by saying that "he was only following orders"
He had requested firing squad , but was hanged instead.
He was convicted during his Neuremburg trial of not following the international rules of war .

they should have at least given her a TelePrompter - really looks lame reading from index cards.

really seems determined to flaunt everything and everyone........

well, Bubba set the precedent. He got away with it scot free...his pathetic tactic to try to push his fun & games off the front page.

and yet when 800,000 people in Rwanda were being slaughtered - one faction committing genocide on the other - bubba wouldn't even allow his ‘cleaning lady’ to call it ‘genocide’ - and did nothing.So why shouldn't this lawless gang get away with it - and they aren't just trying to cover up the gun running to the 'rebels' they hate America and are dedicated to the MB and Al Q

Not if you go before a "Hanging Judge "
or have out-of-state license plates !

[Logical me]

Only law is the law the communists network make and to hell with the Constitution. America is finished and after WWIII there will be a foreign Government running Washington. Then all the freeloaders on government taxes will lose their income. And rioters will be shot.

[Pan_Yan]

It’s not an illegal war; it’s an “undocumented military action.”

[Logical me]

And rioters will be shot.

and beheaded.

And the collective reaction of Congress is: Who cares? So long as I continue to get my perks, I don’t give a damn if a few peons get killed. If I happen to be a Democrat, they will vote for me after they are dead, so, again, who gives a damn?

[sport]

I took it to be a metaphor.

[M Kehoe]

Notice to Samantha Powers: Ivan has many assets and personnel in the theater of [proposed] operations. What happens Samantha, if we sink a Russian ship, or kill Russian personnel at their new AA sites in Syria?

Think about it, or not. No matter, Putin ain't playing no games.

Sheesh, we've either got amateur hour in the White Hut, or you people just don't understand geopolitical strategies (cultures, alliances, etc.). Then again, you egg heads (who have never worked in the private sector), might actually be planning WWIII.

Fasten your seat belts gang, its going to be a very bumpy ride...

If there’s any comfort in this it’s that I get to mock my liberal friends for calling Bush a reckless cowboy. “Gosh, things sure were better when we had a President who respected the UN and international law” will make some veins pop around here...

Yeah, all those Ivy League law graduates sure have no patience for building legal consensus do they? The tolerant left...

[GOPJ]

“act outside the legal framework”??

Isn’t that what people used to call “committing crimes”?!

Nailed.
