Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Kaine said in an interview published Monday that, if elected, Hillary Clinton would quickly ask Congress for fresh legal authority to make war on the so-called Islamic State and other terrorist groups around the world.
“Hillary has said that that’s something she wants to do very early in her administration,” the Virginia senator said. He made his remarks in an interview with “The Axe Files,” hosted by David Axelrod, a former top adviser to President Obama.
Kaine said the former secretary of state will press lawmakers to rewrite the Sept. 14, 2001, Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) that set the stage for the invasion of Afghanistan and has underpinned the entire war on terrorism. Obama has invoked the measure to argue that his undeclared but escalating war on ISIS is legal, a position Kaine had previously dismissed as an “Alice in Wonderland” strategy.
Clinton believes that “it’s time for us to take that now-outdated authorization, and really think about what we are confronting, and work together to reach some legislative-executive accord about what it is we’re doing,” Kaine told Axelrod. “It’s time for Congress to get back in the game and refine and revise that authorization.”

What are you going to fight with, you stupid b*tch???
Obama and you have decimated our military...
You going to stab the enemy with your Epipen???
Oh, my. Hillary the Warmonger wants to get an early start. Well, at least Yahoo is reporting this.
G.H.W.B?
“The media just loves the old Goldwater “Daisy” ad.”
Trump should cut an ad like that for H...or maybe he already has.
War, socialism, Muslims and racial unrest. A fabulous program! /s
free college via the GI Bill
If an enemy can not be found Hillary will create an enemy.
(what difference does it make?)
Reagan, Bush senior, Bush junior?
(...thanks to Drudge for the pic...)
I hope she’s soon in a position to petition the Prison Commissary for free Depends.......
The “woman president” mantra is particularly apparent in the liberal Philadelphia and Boston suburbs.
"according to some calculations, the Uranium One deal, involving top Clinton donors Frank Guistra and Ian Telfer, has transferred as much as 50 percent of projected American uranium production to Kremlin control."
***********************************************
RUSSIAGATE
Who paid Bill Clinton's $2.5 million commission and $500k speaking fee for brokering the sale of 20% of America's uranium deposits to Russia?
You are speaking about a really interesting deal that ended up giving Vladimir Putin and the Russians control of one-fifth of all uranium production capacity in the United States.
Since uranium is considered a strategic asset, with implications for national security, the deal had to be approved by a committee composed of representatives from a number of United States government agencies. ..."
Yeah, well we know what the Dems definition of terrorist groups are, don't we?
Perpetual War for Perpetual Peace.
The Military/Industrial/Intelligence/Homeland Security is drooling over the $$$$$$$$.
So is Hillary.
How about we rescind the War Powers Act and let the President prove every case to the American People and force the Congress to grow a backbone and do their jobs on behalf of America!
Also Trump needs an act to require Congress to present a budget on or before October 1st every year for the President to sign or forfeit all pay and benefits for the previous year and work without pay and benefits until a budget is signed every year!
Another act to do away with all congressional retirements and lifetime benefits immediately and end said same for former members of congress immediately.
Just as the nation is supposed to have no standing army in the beginning of the nation, we should desire and demand a return to the citizen congressional politician!
Term limits for 12 years max for election to congress in total whether as a House or Senate member.
Pray that millennials and those "suburban moms" wake up on time. What the Trump campaign needs now is a harsh ad about how what hillary does "for the children" is to wage wars in which people are maimed and killed.
In OH, now the Hillary ads are all sweet and cooey about how her whole life has been, and always will be, devoted to her love and caring for children. It would be funny if there weren't a percentage of idiots who believe them.
And because she says Trump supporters are terrorists...
... if elected, Hillary Clinton would quickly ask Congress for fresh legal authority to make war
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
dear Lord, please do not let this evil woman be elected.
But maybe the echo chamber is so strong that they don't know how this looks.
Keep it up, Kaine!
