That was what made Bosnia illegal, but didn't stop us there or in Iraq.
Well then. My mind’s made up. If this violates UN sanctions - THEN BOMBS AWAY!!!
War is hell. Calling it 'legal' or 'illegal' does not change that fact. If governments have blundered themselves into a position that war is the only option; or if one is attacked or threatened so that war is the only option - then it is war. Trying to wrap such a disaster up in a ribbon and stamp it with some Tribunal's Good Housekeeping stamp of approval is a perverse mental exercise.
Regarding Syria - just walk away (and stop arming the Al Queda/Muslim Brotherhood group).
"And the bombing will continue until the polls show that no one is paying attention to all those republican congressional hearings."
Normally, I would not be an adherent to the ICC and its prosecution of war crimes and criminals. But, in this case, I'd be fully for the extradition of any head of state responsible for such an act as this against Syria, with the backdrop of lies and apparent use of chemicals by the rebels.
even if the criminal happened to be in possession of the Nobel peace prize.
I have been burning up the airwaves to Washington, begging, pleading and downright telling these people DO NOT INVOLVE US IN SYRIA. WE DON’T HAVE A DOG IN THIS FIGHT. THERE ARE NO GOOD GUYS IN THIS FIGHT, AND WHOEVER WINS WILL BE JUST AS BAD AS THE ONE THEY REPLACED.
Please, I’m begging every FREE PER to burn the airwaves to Washington and telling anyone in Washington that still has a pair of cojones to stop these people, cause they will just get us into a WW3. Russia and China has already warned us not to get involved with Syria.
Get a formal declaration of war from Congress. No Presidential work-arounds that have been going on since Truman. Roosevelt was the last President with the fortitude to ask for the support of the nation. He was also the last President to win a war. Note to Obama see how Truman, Johnson, Bush, Clinton, and Bush made out.
Have you never read The Prince ???
There are those who can do things with immunity that other lessor men would be condemned for
kinda like the thinking of the main charactor and his experimentation in Crime and Punishment
not saying Barry is of The Prince quality..
more of a perfect fit into the C&P shoes...
Why would this clown care he does what he wants and most of it is illegal.
On one hand the spectacle of the Nobel Peace Prize Laureate sending the bombers in is too delicious.
Bosnia was the first time we bombed Christians to support Jihadis. We are still paying for that stupidity.
By the way, the Bosnian war placed George Soros at the forefront of RAT foreign policy. He’s been there ever since.
Notice how the Obama-Drama in all of these conflicts follows the same pattern?
He shows hesitancy to the public but then “reluctantly” gets drawn into the conflict.
But he always jumps in on the side of Al Queada, the Muslim Brotherhood, or some other muslim terrorist group.
Hiostorically, whenever Israel and the muslims go to war, the US jumps in and “brokers” (forces on Israel) a cease fire as soon as Israel starts wiping the muslims out.
But in all of Obama’s “Arab Spring” revolutions, and in this Syrian civil war, there has not been the first mention or effort by our worthless leaders to broker a cease fire.
The first concrete step our government has taken in each conflict is to funnel weapons surreptitiously to the rebels while lying about it to the American public and the world.
The second step is to trump up some excuse to jump in on the side of the rebels and start bombing the government forces until they fall to the rebels.
So the once highly-esteemed Christian Science Monitor can no longer afford an editor? How about "right to be cautious" is that what he meant?
If Obama starts this, I don’t EVER want to heard another Democrat whine about the “Gulf of Tonkin” nor any of Bush’s “illegal wars” ever again....
“US is signatory to the UN Charter which gives to the UN the responsibility to verify and enforce violations of international law regarding war. That was what made Bosnia illegal, but didn’t stop us there or in Iraq.”
Treaties have the force of federal law and do not trump the Constitution. What made Bosnia illegal was the lack of a Congressional Declaration of War, not anything the UN did/does.
Get your head straight.
