Obama going to war without congressional approval AGAIN

Obama going to war without congressional approval… AGAIN. He changes his justifications like other men change their underwear. This time he’s claiming Congress authorized a 2014 campaign against the Islamic State in 2001, when they authorized President George W. Bush to fight the Taliban and al Qaeda. That’s his story and he’s sticking to it. For now.

  • Wow, the New York Times is attacking Obama. The New York Times which practically created the guy and up until now practically idolized him:

    "PRESIDENT OBAMA’s declaration of war against the terrorist group known as the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria marks a decisive break in the American constitutional tradition. Nothing attempted by his predecessor, George W. Bush, remotely compares in imperial hubris. Mr. Bush gained explicit congressional consent for his invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. In contrast, the Obama administration has not even published a legal opinion attempting to justify the president’s assertion of unilateral war-making authority. This is because no serious opinion can be written."

    • The Slimes is just upset that he didn't ask them to make the case for him.
      Either that, or they're ISIS sympathizers, and don't want him trying to stop them.

    • It's not about war, it's about sending in the FBI to conduct law enforcement people to investigate shit going down in terrorist crapholes. Clinton started doing it, & Obama has amped up that idiocy. Obama & the MSM didn't take Islamic State seriously until they beheaded to journalists & then posted it online.

  • let him run with it! The rinos need to step away and let this asshole and HIS party go to war. The republican tactic of getting all in a huff in front of the cameras has never stopped President Assclown, the democrat party and the media they control, from doing as they please to this country. And it never will EVER. When it goes to shit, and it will, THEN they can scream it form the mountaintops. Might make for effective campaign ammunition. Would be nice to get hilarry on record too!

    • The RINO strategy is to have a war against some third-world country only once they are in power. They know that the liberal medias and education will use it well, it allows the RINOs to lose the White House to the democrats will retaining control of the party.

      Hovewer, allowing Obama to get involved into one might mean that the democrats may become unpopular and hand the White House back to them in the 2016 elections, hence the RINO doctrine dictates that in this case, Obama must indeed be stopped.
      The 2011 military intervention in Libya was an exception because it was not costly enough to threaten Obama´s fraudulent re-election.

  • Wasn't just a month ago that Obama wanted the congress to rescind the authorization of force for Iraq?

    Lord I loathe this insipid man-child.
