According to all the "keyboard" JAGs here, Admiral Mullen could easily have ordered 40,000 extra troops to be sent over without asking higher ups??
Wasn't Lt. Col. Lakin a part of of those 30,000 that finally were approved by the illegal alien C-i-C???
When Fundamentally Fair was there to keep things accountable, they stopped saying that the authorization didn’t have to come from the CINC or SecDef.
I posted an article which showed the deliberations regarding the troop request by McChrystal; Joe Biden never approved of the surge. According to the 20th Amendment Joe Biden is the only one who can “act as President” since Obama failed to qualify by Jan 20, 2009. And Biden did not approve the surge. The surge deployments and movements were coordinated within the computer system on the basis of a presidential directive that came from somebody BESIDES the only person the Constitution allowed to act as CINC.
