Topic: Barack Obama is a War Criminal

In 1973 the War Powers Act said the President could order military operations anywhere for 90 days then he has to ask Congress for authorization

In 1999 Bill Clinton started bombing Serbia, went over 90 days and never asked Congress for a vote

House Republicans sued in US federal court to make him stop

US court said the Congress could vote to stop him if it wanted

Democrats controlled the Senate and refused to vote.

Under US law the President can wage war on any country as long as he likes until and unless both chambers of Congress order him to stop

However under German law it was legal for the Fuhrer to invade anybody he liked, and that argument didn't sell at Nuremburg

United States Government recognizes Bashar Assad as government of Syria

United States Government does not recognize anybody else as the government of Syria

UN hasn't called for military operations against Syria

Syria hasn't violated an armistice it got in the last war justifying renewed war on Syria

Nobody is invoking an existing treaty demanding US war on Syria

We're not invited to help defend any government from Syria

We're not defending any recognized government against Assad

US Congress hasn't voted to approved military operations on Syria

Barack Obama is misusing the resources of the United States of America to wage a pirate war against a recognized government

Barack Obama, John McCain and their supporters are guilty of crimes against peace and waging a war of aggression

please arrest them

Re: Barack Obama is a War Criminal

Some of you may wonder why I of all people promote this

whatever you thought of the prudence of the Bush wars, they were acts of state based on legalisms

Old man Bush went into Iraq in 1991 to restore Kuwait, a member nation of the UN who was obliterated by Iraqi conquest
that war ended with a conditional armistice
Bush, Clinton and W Bush argued continually that Saddam broke the armistice
W Bush argued the penalty for violating an armistice and shooting at aircraft was renewed war

Throughout the US Congress voted to approve their logic
they continually got authorization

It was an act of State and all parties in America shared in the choice to begin and continue the conflict.

What Obama is doing is acting like Supreme Warlord, and relying on bizarre American tribal law that says he can wage war anywhere on anyone for as long as he likes and it is the Congress that has to jump through hoops to stop the war.

This is contrary to international law, the laws that sent Jodl and Von Ribbentrop to the gallows at Nurnberg.

Syria is nothing in and of itself.  It is the first step and we can stop this thing here before it explodes.

In America it is dirty and rude and crazy to talk about consequences and precedents.  It is the "slippery slope fallacy".  People have to be "realistic".  They have to defer to corrupt leaders and talk about how things failed in the past, how they won't work in the future, is disrespectful and "divisive".  People are supposed to be "reasonable"-- they are supposed to have a price and sell out for it.  There is no such thing as "duty" for politicians.

This sloppy warmongering will continue and there will not be any checks on it from the American political system.

It is up to the rest of you
