<\/a><\/center>\nYou know you’ve lost the country when the New York Times<\/a>‘s Editorial Board turns on the Democrat President and criticizes him for his rush to war;<\/p>\n
The administration…claims that the airstrikes are legal under international law because they were done in defense of Iraq. In a Sept. 20 letter to the United Nations, Iraq complained that the Islamic State was attacking its territory and said American assistance was needed to repel the threat. But the United Nations Security Council should vote on the issue.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Congress has utterly failed in its constitutional responsibilities. It has left Washington and gone into campaign fund-raising mode, shamelessly ducking a vote on this critical issue. That has deprived the country of a full and comprehensive debate over the mission in Syria and has shielded administration officials and military commanders from tough questions about every aspect of this operation \u2014 from its costs to its very obvious risks \u2014 that should be asked and answered publicly.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
I don’t agree with them at all, by the way, just like I didn’t agree with Obama Administration while it sat on it’s hands for six months while ISIS\/ISIL\/Islamic State cut it’s bloody swath across Iraq and Syria. The president should have acted without the UN and Congress back in January when IS captured Fallujah and maybe it wouldn’t have reached the crisis tipping point where we are perched now.<\/p>\n
But at least everyone is finally admitting that President Bush had authority for war in Iraq. But, something I’d like to point out; this whole idea about preempting an attack on the US by the use of force is all part of the “Bush Doctrine” that was derided, by the Left – including the current president.<\/p>\n
So, I’m watching the President addressing the UN General Assembly and there’s hope for him yet. He just told the assembled delegates that there’s no reasoning with the Islamic State – that the only thing they understand is force. I may be ready to support him at this point, if his actions match his words.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
