Democrat’s Need A Lesson On The US Constitution
Democrats (and their media puppets) always seem in need of a serious tutorial on the very US Constitution they took an oath to protect. The Senate Dems are tring to play Commander-in-Chief (those silly egoes of theirs!) and direct the use of our forces in Iraq.
Four years ago, Congress passed legislation authorizing President Bush to go to war in Iraq. Now Senate Democrats want to take it back.
Key lawmakers, backed by party leaders, are drafting legislation that would effectively revoke the broad authority granted to the president in the days Saddam Hussein was in power, and leave U.S. troops with a limited mission as they prepare to withdraw.
Officials said Thursday the precise wording of the measure remains unsettled. One version would restrict American troops in Iraq to fighting al-Qaida, training Iraqi army and police forces, maintaining Iraq’s territorial integrity and otherwise proceeding with the withdrawal of combat forces.
Congress has no such power. Time to time an overly excited Congress thinks all they need to do to change the Constitution is pass a Bill the normal way. We all know that is not how it works, and here is what the Constitution says about who directs the military:
The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States; …
No caveats or conditions or limitations. None. Here are some historical annotations to these clear Consitutional Powers:
n 1850, Chief Justice Taney, for the Court, said: ”His duty and his power are purely military. As commander-in- chief, he is authorized to direct the movements of the naval and military forces placed by law at his command, and to employ them in the manner he may deem most effectual to harass and conquer and subdue the enemy. He may invade the hostile country, and subject it to the sovereignty and authority of the United States. But his conquests do not enlarge the boundaries of this Union, nor extend the operation of our institutions and laws beyond the limits before assigned to them by the legislative power.
The Congress cannot rewrite the Constitution by normal Bills. So this is another wasted, useless, ego-trip by one of the worst Democrat Senates in America’s history.
Cheney did NOT lie about the WMDs at all!
Excellent reading of this book, a collaboration of articles written by different people, such as Bat Ye’or, Ibn Warrag, Mark Durrie:
The Myth of Islamic Tolerance: How Islamic Law Treats Non-Muslims (Hardcover)
Also, read Robert Spencer’s book about Mohammed, Islam, and Crusades. He spent time comparing the book of Qur’an, Sura, and Hadith against the New Testament.
The Politically Incorrect Guide(tm) to Islam (and the Crusades (Paperback)
His work, with the aid of a well-respected Arab translater and confirmed by others, showed how the New Testament is NOT violent compared to the book of Qur’an, Sura, and Hadith.
Funny how a orthodox Jew went to Iran as part of the Holocaust Denial Convention and how he believed that Israel should not exist because he believes that Israel is not run by “clean Jews”.
More charitable? So you have no qualms about Mufti’s connections with Hitler and the Nazi movement?

Have any qualms about FDR’s siding with “Uncle Joe” Stalin?

the Jewish community upon his return.

Cheney’s war lies in part outlined here.
Current times:
Relations Worsen Between the Egyptian Regime and the Muslim Brotherhood
Hitler wrote Mein Hampf using Protocols of the Elders of Zion:. Mein Hampf is one of the most popular books sold in the Middle East.
Protocols of the Elders of Zion is a forgery started in Russia.
I’ve already given you links showing that Cheney did not lie about the WMDs. Enough!
No qualms about FDR siding with Stalin if it would help us win WWII.
“Mr Cordesman’s gloomy conclusions about British defeat are confirmed by a study called “The Calm before the Storm: The British Experience in Southern Iraq” by Michael Knights and Ed Williams, published by the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. Comparing the original British ambitions with present reality the paper concludes that “instead of a stable, united, law-abiding region with a representative government and police primacy, the deep south is unstable, factionalised, lawless, ruled as a kleptocracy and subject to militia primacy”.
Local militias are often not only out of control of the Iraqi government, but of their supposed leaders in Baghdad. The big money earner for local factions is the diversion of oil and oil products, with the profits a continual source of rivalry and a cause of armed clashes. Mr Knights and Mr Williams say that control in the south is with a “well-armed political-criminal Mafiosi [who] have locked both the central government and the people out of power”.
Al Banna – a devout admirer of Hitler.
Stalin killed more than Hitler so your tautologiocal defense hinging on past American Empire policy “success” negates any
ethics in your linkage of the Mufti to Hitler, amoral imperialist.
You side with a twenty million killer, he with a “six million”
killer.
You side with imperialist invasion responsible for killing 600,000 Iraqi civilians (Lancet Report verified by Johns Hopkins).
Actually Hitler killed far more than six million Jews. He killed millions of non-Jews. He killed just about as many as Stalin did or more.

DEMOCRATS AT DELPHI
Written by Dr. Jack Wheeler
Friday, 23 February 2007
A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself.
For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murder is less to fear.
Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC) spoke those words in the Roman Senate over two thousand years ago. But his words could be addressed to Traitor John Murtha and the leadership of the Democrat Party today.

Most of the 600,000 Iraqi civilians were killed by the terrorist organizations.
Anthony Cordesman appears to be a left-winger as per the Google engine. Not a surprise.
SED, thanks for the post, aptly timed.

no, he’s too sympathetic to McCain and against Lancet for that-he’s just got to admit the truth.
of copurse to you “truth about Iraq” is “left”, which is why you discredit the legimitate right..eg Hagel.
