We are soooooooooooo screwed
Isn't this literally treason? I mean, isn't the Defense Secretary literally telling Congress that he answers to the UN over them?
WTF?
I pray for our military. Panetta is such a parrot. I suspected Panetta was an Obama ‘WATER CARRIER” but hoped the office would wise him up. I guess painting a zebra blue doesn’t make it a dolphin.
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
What if the UN votes for the US military to attack the US?
Anyone who says that is a traitor to the Constitution!!!
If our Congress had any balls it would not matter what Panneta said. Congress controls the purse. Planes do not fly without cash. Bombs are not dropped without cash. Cut the funds and you end the nonsense. But alas we have a Congress with no balls no spine and no common sense..........
There you go. J.F. Kerry’s infamous “Global Test” has finally arrived. (That gaffe played a part in his 2004 defeat, in the good old days when Rove was a magnificent bastard.)
Just like the legal permission we got for taking out Bin Laden in Pakistan? Rumor is him and Gates pushed Obama into it over Vlerie Jarrett’s objections. That’s why Obama was pulled off the golf course halfway through and was wearing his golf shirt in the Situation Room.
Congress, by subletting it’s responsibility to the President, rather than declaring war, which is the duty of congress, as required by our Constitution, has created this crisis.
Is Sessions finally awakening to this Constitutional crisis? What took him so long?
Bottom line, congress is to blame for shirking it’s responsibility, decades ago.
This is what happens when the War Powers Act is ignored, and when the feckless GOP does not defund military operations or throw up barriers to military actions.
Libya was illegal, but the Dems wanted it and ignored the laws.
But when we wanted to go into Iraq, we had to spend 6 agonizing months getting the permission of Congress and the UN, all the while the WMDs were shipped to syria under our noses.
Then we have complete A-holes like John McStupid saying “WE HAVE TO ACT!” to which I say “FU JMCCain! We don’t have to do anything for Muslims in Syria! Get us the hell out of Afghanistan!”
I like Jeff Sessions. I would have liked it more if he dressed down Paneeta, an old Clintonoid hack, and reminded both him and that dumpkoff bootlicker Dempsey that the President does not have unlimited powers of war.
The GOP better find their balls before we find ourselves in Syria and Iran at the same time, just becasue the usurper President wants another term in office.
BS,
Scary stuff.
We so need Leadership such as Newt can offer; John Bolton; Lt. Col. Allen West; Marco Rubio and that of any bold Republicans; and Military - and great citizens - who are not 'vision impaired'; per the task required.
Am wondering too; 'who' is the Military (Advisor/Lawyer?) sitting behind Perp/Aid, Leon Panetta - whose glibness along with that of General Dempsey is a message in itself.
(hate the repetition per 'thread error'; but. . .)
and if international agencies start dictating other rules to us, such as signing cap and trade, paying global taxes on financial transactions, upping our tax dollars to the IMF, putting our troops and politicians on trial before international courts, and banning guns religious practices and free speech, I guess that also trumps Congress
It's ignorant lemmings like yourself that have allowed this Nation to slide into the tyranny we find ourselves in.
Our forces now work for the UN, but we are required to pay for it. This is their global Government agenda (NWO)
Israel is on it's own and they know it.
You have GOT to be sh*tting me!
Then they tried to rename it kinetic military action, R2P...They let this set a precedent to make congress obsolete , and move more power to Obama/UN/soros. Being complicit is helping advance their power grabs. Players are in both parties.
