    Plus, he said he doesn't need congressional approval. He legally didn't have to get permission to start a war.

    If he starts lobbing cruise missles without congressional authorization, I say impeach. He is out of control.

    we should have impeached a few scandles ago......I didn't vote for him I'm happy to say :mrgreen:

    Clinton gets a blow job (big deal)
    Nixon gets busted on a few recorded phone calls...
    and obama is implicated in the IRS and binghazi mess and then says syria is our responsibility not his, the guy is paving his way to dick-tator-ship.

    and the world will hear this false statement...and believe it.

    the world holds the views of our elected leaders - as extensions of ourselves.

    rightly so.
    live and let live...unless it violates the pearligious doctrine.

    Thank you representative Jeff Duncan of South Carolina.
    Hopefully there will be a YouTube video of his questions to john Kerry. They are the exact questions that needed to be asked and of course, Kerry sidestepped them.

    Soooo, for those unaware, the President CAN do airstrikes w/o Congress declaring an act of war.

    The War Powers Resolution requires the President to notify Congress within 48 hours of committing armed forces to military action and forbids armed forces from remaining for more than 60 days, with a further 30 day withdrawal period.

    Assad Unable To Convince Putin That He Used Chemical Weapons On Syrians
    News • Syria • World • politicians • world leaders • News • ISSUE 49•36 • Sep 4, 2013

    MOSCOW—Despite Syrian president Bashar al-Assad’s flat-out admission to the Russian leader that he was responsible for an August 21 chemical weapons attack on a suburban Damascus neighborhood, Russian president Vladimir Putin confirmed Wednesday that al-Assad has yet to provide a convincing case that he carried out the assault. “Given the information I’ve seen at this point, President Assad failed to show me clear, substantiated evidence that he used chemical weapons against the Syrian people, regardless of how many times he says ‘I, Bashar al-Assad, President of Syria, am the one who did this’ while showing me videos of people dying of Sarin poisoning,” said Putin, adding that he remains extremely skeptical despite phone conversations in which a reportedly frustrated Assad repeats, over and over again, the step-by-step account of how he authorized the use of nerve gas to kill over 1,400 people. “We need to know all the facts before we act. I don’t care how many autopsy reports, laboratory tests, or pictures of Assad pressing a button labeled ‘chemical weapons launcher’ he sends me—before we have conclusive proof that he and not the opposition forces did this, we cannot say that Syria is in violation of international law.” Putin went on to confirm that until Assad proves beyond a doubt that he carried out the alleged attack, Russia will continue delivering components of a surface-to-air missile defense system to the Syrian government.

    If people actually read the Constitution, they'd understand this.
    The last war declared by Congress... World War 2 when they declared War on Japan (German declared War on the U.S. a few days later). Since the Korean War, the Executive Office has been enforcing foriegn policy. The War Powers Resolution came in 1973 so we wouldn't end up with another Viet Nam on our hands.
    And even if the President does not receive Congressional approval, he can still use military action to enforce foriegn policy by declaring the action is needed to provide National Security Interests.
    ...
    In this case, those National Security Interests are the big investments on Wall Street.

    I'm not disagreeing with you one bit. I've been a staunch President Obama supporter since his days in the Illinois Senate, but I do not agree with getting involved in Syria. I do not believe Syria will be another Grenada,Nicaragua, Kosovo, Afghanistan or either Iraq wars, but I'm failing to see how this helps the investments of Wall Street.

    apparently, this administration thought chemical weapons would be enough to sway public opinion ... clearly - someone needs to connect syria to 9/11 ... that worked wonders for Iraq ...

    It would be ironic if we started leveling buildings in Syria a week from today.

    A Senate panel voted 10-7 to give President Barack Obama the authority to use military force against Syria.

    not likely ... all one has to do is consider this:

    what do the wealthy of the wealthiest want? ... obviously, more wealth and more power ... but at what point does their strategy of fake wars and scheming actually upset their end game? ... WW3 does not benefit these guys ... they wouldn't be able to fly to monaco on weekends ...

    no ... it will always be just the way it needs to be ... that is until the people finally wake up but i don't see that happening any time soon ...
