International security/ Rethinking America’s role in the world
What does all
this mean? It just means that (as I said before) “ . . . the people who control
him and the government want war.” It's all about the money, and nothing else.
Back in September 2014,
I wrote an article asking if President Obama had
sold us down the river by deciding to go against ISIS (or ISIL) without seeking
congressional approval. I wrote: “Although supposedly Americans are in
favor of taking military action against ISIL, President Obama’s decision to go
forward without congressional approval and a vote makes little sense, either
politically or strategically. The War Powers Act clearly states that
the President may act unilaterally only if there is imminent danger to the
United States (“a national emergency created by attack upon the United States,
its territories or possessions, or its armed forces.”) In the
absence of such an imminent threat, the President may act unilaterally for only
sixty days and must thereafter wait for a congressional vote.”
