According to various sources, including Annie Flaherty’s article today in Townhall online at:
http://www.townhall.com/news/us/2008/07/08/panel_calls_for_new_war_powers_legislation?page=full&comments=true
the National War Powers Commission, made up of the “usual suspects” for all so-called bi-partisan “blue ribbon” panels, commissions and the like, have released their report, available at http://millercenter.org/policy/commissions/warpowers/
This report, as usual, calls for more legislation, more study, more endless yapping among the pointy-shoe crowd. All at the expense, of course, of the stupid, overburdened, and unprotected taxpayer.
Just what we need! A bunch of unstoppable mouths – former Secretaries of State, etc. – telling the President what to do, instead of vice-versa.
We the people didn’t elect many of these dipstick-lomats to public office. Our system, thank God, was set up to make the President the Commander in Chief – not a bunch of striped pantywaists, who think that EVERYTHING can be solved by chatting until the enemy has buried the last American.
These pusillanimous procrastinators, who could NEVER actually make a decision on anything, except to talk about it some more, do not have the courage, the intelligence, nor the decision-making ability to pronounce that the Commander in Chief MUST beg Congress how to wage a war, in order to protect our country and our citizens.
If they paid any attention to anything, except how their makeup looks for their press conferences, they would have seen that Congress IS NOT TO BE TRUSTED. During the war in Afghanistan and the war in Iraq, every time ANY sensitive information was shared with Congress, it was leaked by one of those traitorous cowards, if not for political advantage, then for their own personal aggrandizement.
When these lily-livers state that the present laws have “failed to promote cooperation between the executive and legislative branch”, they are totally out of their league and out of their minds. If the President had to give any more deference to Congress than under the present law, the enemy would have the detailed battle plan in their generals’ war room before the first shot has been fired.
This moronic “bipartisan plan” looks as if it had been written by the New York Times, Michael Moore, Benedict Arnold, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Baba Wawa. The entire list of characters behind this piece of utter garbage reads like a Who’s Who of self-appointed permanent governmental elitists, who will stop at nothing until they have turned the entire world into a two-class caste system consisting of the governing Brahmins (parasites) at the top and the tax-paying general public (hosts) at the bottom. The term “Public Service” must now be removed from the dictionary.
If we do not put a stop to this madness, America will be burning, while the next President tries to get emergency war authority, while the enemy is marching us around the countryside, bound in chains.
