    Nato, UN trumps Congress

    Nato, UN trumps Congress' War Powers Act says Defense Sec Panetta.

    While this shit has been going on since before I was born, to flat out tell Congress the Defense Department's authority comes from Nato or the UN is shocking. Hopefully this wakes some of them up. Call, mail, fax and email your Senator, Congress critter asap.

    This is not good. Not good at all.

    The US military has been USED for the better part of a century now for purpopses other than defense of the homeland. General Smedley Butler (two time Congressional Medal of Honor recipient) preached about this but no one listened.

    Panetta really didn't handle that very well. He should have known that type of question was coming and should have prepared something better than that.

    The US can only fight a war if the US congress declares it. Military action is another thing.

    All he would have had to say is that world bodies do not have veto power over the US using force? Would that have been so hard to say???
    The Second Amendment ACKNOWLEDGES our right to own and bear arms that are in common use that can be used for lawful purposes. The arms can be restricted ONLY if subject to historical analogue from the founding era or is dangerous (unsafe) AND unusual.

    It's that simple.

    It is when you are a progressive globalist. At least he is honest and saying what he believes.

    Disturbing, but certainly nothing new. As far as Panetta goes, he has to blow his boss to keep his job (meant as a euphamism and metaphor and not to be taken wholly or partly in context with actual performance of oral sex).

    He said what he believes in an accidental moment of honesty.
    He is a transnational socialist. His world view is exactly what he stated to Congress.
