Panetta: 'Int'l Permission’ Trumps Congressional Permission For Military Action
« on: March 08, 2012, 08:12:35 AM »
You really need to take the 7+ minutes to watch this.

Obama Admin Cites 'Int'l Permission,' Not Congress, As 'Legal Basis' For Action In Syria

It is clear to me exactly what Panetta is not saying here -- that if the president decides it's in the national security interest of this country to initiate military action elsewhere, Congress has no say in the matter; it's International "authority" he will seek.

Jeff Sessions behaves as though he can hardly believe his ears.  So.  Now, what does he intend to do about this.

What will Jeff Sessions do?

Piss himself, express some deep concern, maybe write a stern letter. Probably some of the same things Saddam Hussein's parliament did right before he started having them taken out and shot.

Michele Bachman has been trying to get some answers to her questions about why we have troops in Africa, to no avail.

There was a news promo on Fox (local or cable?) concerning The Lord's Resistance Army last night
and all the horrible things it's been doing for the last thirty years.  Is this the most artful propaganda
yet?  The only thing for certain, unless you believe the MSM is that they are fighting Muslims.
