PeeWee Herman is on notice. “No big tent for you!”
Left meets right.
Ok, Calypso Louis, Grayson, now Chomsky, we’ve officially hit the trifecta.
But despite my opposition to the bombing...Screw the UN, just the same.
being Noam Chomsky is a war crime
Old Noam is overdue for his close encounter with a speeding bus
and the UN would magically transform this ‘war crime’ into a sanctified thing of great Beauty, or what?
no, the UN is not holy nor does it have Divine powers. Rather, it is like a new, debased Midas...who turns everything it touches into sh*t
I gotta agree with the old quantitative linquist slash marxist on this one.
Good thing for Soetoro Saul Alinksy is dead.
Somebody should ping George Soros and see what he thinks of all this. Is he happy with what his money is buying?
Ping.
Chomsky: An Attack On UN Without Syrian Support Is A War Crime
Yep, the voice of the anti-American left is getting around these days.
If he meant to say that military action without UN authorization would be a war crime, that is to deny the sovereignty of the United States and to defy the United States Constitution which vests the power to declare war with the Congress, the responsibility to pay for the war with Congress, and the power to conduct the war with the president. The Constitution does not bring the United Nations into the process and to do so distorts the Constitution. Those powers vested as they are in the Article I and Article II branches of the American government are vested solely in these branches and it is unconstitutional to divest any portion of them and put it in any other entity such as United Nations, especially an entity which is not even American.
Chomsky is a moron. The US does not and never has needed
the permission of the UN or ANY OTHER GROUP besides Congress to take military action.
The ONLY group that can legally authorize this country to
go to war is Congress....and they have abstained from doing their duty for many many years now.
The old git would probably take a swing at me for suggesting it, though. But I do agree that if 0bama starts lobbing missiles into Syria with no more formality than he has already taken precious golfing time to follow, then he is certainly in contravention to the Constitution and, for whatever it is worth, international law as well. That his current actions show his earlier sanctimony against Bush's policies to be the expedient hypocrisy that they were is sweet but purely incidental. This is war, people are going to die, and I'd like to think it were over something more significant than empty posturing.
No, it would not be a war crime, but it would not be in our national interest.
Got “global test” John Kerry?
