Totally meant Bahrain. You’re correct on Yemen. Is there a side we can back? Nothing good can come out of that nation. we’re better off letting the islamofascists take over and kick their butts afterwards.
Good analysis of the present and seems probable. (Hopefully)
Thank You for the provided information.
That effort (spoken of) by the House had
slipped by me. Thanks for the reminder!
Obama is President. The only effective checks on his power are Congress and the next election. That's the way the Constitution is written. Unfortunately, modern party politics largely take Congress out of the game which means that the next election is the only meaningful restriction on Obama’s power.
Conservatives can't waste time and effort squabbling about trivia that has no potential to hurt Obama at the ballot box. This is no time to go for the capillary. Obama just isn't vulnerable to the argument you want to make. Move along and focus on what matters instead of what doesn't.
Not “full blown” hostilities? Seriously? We’re BOMBING THEM. It doesn’t get much more hostile!
**I never thought that I would utter the words Dennis Kucinich & correct in the same sentence!**
and have to and another even more unsettling word in that sentence ... AGREE
OMG ..I agree with KOOKCinich?? Just SHOOT ME!!!
As always Leni, a great little ditty. Might see you next week.
It's never been about US interests, it's always been about Obama's interest.
Obama gave $Billions to Egypt and the Muslim Brotherhood for their takeover of that country.
Obama is using the US Military to put Al Qaeda in a position to take over Libya.
Obama coincidentally wants Israel to go to pre-1967 borders so the country cannot be defended.
QUESTION: Do YOU think this is just a coincidence OR is Barry really a Muslim plant here in the US to do as much damage as he can before we try him for treason?
Before you answer take into consideration that Barry embraces every policy that will hurt the US from minimizing US oil drilling, open borders, a health care bill from hell etc.
Can you find anything this clown has done to help the US? Since he is doing everything he can at the EPA to hurt America, do you think he might be doing it on purpose?
In the case of the Libyan incursion, Obama's commitment of American forces serves no identifiable purpose other than to further strain our military capabilities at a time of growing international unrest, largely driven by the expansion of radical Islamic forces and the socialist/communist organizations with whom they have made common cause.
The correct Constitutional response to such an executive action is to remove all funding for the operation and set a date for withdrawal, absent a showing of why the Libyan military action is in our national interest. Refusal on Obama's part to comply should result in an article of impeachment.
The Constitution (Article II) does not give very much power to the president - he is the executive, he carries out the will of congress, and if he does not, can be impeached and removed from office. Article II, Section 2 gives the president only four powers, two are mediated by the Senate.
The war powers act does not include a definition of “is” either.
You misapprehend these zombies, are you upset when a worm acts like a worm, a skunk like a skunk, a snake like a snake? Cool off, it is their nature.
The provisions of the NATO charter obligate us to treat an attack upon a member State as an attack upon the USA.
After an attack upon the USA (like at Pearl Harbor, or 9-11) Congress is still the possessor of the power to declare war.
They are the only ones with this power under the Constitution.
