Obama Has No Authority For War In Syria, Congress Hasn’t Authorized it and an Unprovoked Attack Would be an Impeachable Act.

(Before It's News)

 

Whether saber rattling or not, word is out that the White House is “rethinking its options” on intervening in the Syrian war.

America’s passion for being the “Policeman” of the world us only understandable if there is a ‘clear and present danger’ to American sovereignty. There is none in Syria; Israel perhaps, but then they are mostly the aggressors and out best reps in the gun-running business - Tom Dennen

The collapse of John Kerry’s Geneva 2 talks between the rebels and regime, the lengthening casualty lists from barrel-bomb attacks, and a death toll approaching 150,000, are apparently causing second thoughts.

All the usual suspects are prodding Obama to plunge in, if not with troops, at least with a no-fly zone to prevent Bashar Assad from using his air power.

Our frustration is understandable. Yet it does not change the reality. This is not America’s war. Never was. As Obama said, it is “somebody else’s civil war.”

Still, the case against intervention needs to be restated.

First and foremost, Obama has no authority to go to war in Syria, for Congress has never voted to authorize such a war.

  • yeah, yeah, along with all the other impeachable offences he has committed, no one is ever going to stand up to him, or take action, and because of that, he will turn it on you…..yes you, reading this, and your children. By not taking action, you have the blood of the syrian people on your hands, the hands you have been sitting on for the last 5 years. I am so sick of the bleating about Obama, no one does anything, all you do is intellectualise and argue with each other. Wait till he comes for you, no one is going to care, because you placed yourself leaders who have destroyed millions of lives, not risen up as a nation against it before it got out of hand and KARMA IS A BITCH
