International security/ Rethinking America’s role in the world
FRONTLINE "Dreams of Obama"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.”
