More proof that the Democrats don't care for the sovereignity of the US and want to sell us out to the UN "new world order".

Especially those in Congress are supposed to be representing the American people, NOT the rest of the world, and do what is in OUR national interest, NOT what the UN wants us to do.

there has been no request by the Security Council.

accused the president of "going it alone" and lamented that the war had isolated the United States from its European allies.

Which Euro allies? All of them? Levin is a complete moron. Dangerous or just stupid.

Might as well go ahead and go. It's the only way to get people to quit talking about those 16 words in the SOTU speech.
