For all of you 9/11 conspiracy theorists
 

That believe the President ordered the attacks so that he could use our military, are you not aware that under the laws of the US and Constitution the President of the United States can order the use of our military to invade any country of his choosing, at any time that he chooses, for any reason that he chooses, without the approval of the Congress or the American people or anyone in the world and without the notification of same except that he must notify the Congress within ninety days from the time that he ordered the use of our military.

Bottom line the President did not have to have a 9/11 to engage our military in Afhganistan or Iraq.

Wow that is one big long sentence!

thanks God he summarised it later ;0

Charlie Sheen and Ben Aflick did it to promote there up comming movie.

The fair and Balance

but that wouldn't mean that he had the support of the people to restrict their freedoms.

the best way to control people is through fear. same reason people believe a magic kingdom in the sky awaits them when they die.

you should see v for vendetta it actually is real similar to what is believed to have been done by the government on 9/11

pls don't bug their minds that much, they'll black out

You might want to check your facts before you post stupid shit - like Article 1 Section 8 of the Constitution and the War Powers Act of 1973 which both lay down the exact requirements the President must follow in wars.

I dont know where you got your misunderstanding of the law but its way off base

Of course every president that has been involved with a war since Truman has neglected to follow the Constitution - most of them got around it by never actually declaring a "war"
Also your "fact" about the time requirements is wrong - if the President does use force he must inform Congress within 48 HOURs and Congress must then either declare a war or disapprove of it within 90 days - again something they havent done but thats just because most Americans are just as misinformed as you are

Thank you for that..

Some folks just throw stuff out there without thought.. or knowledge..

First of all, the conspiracy theories tend to revolve around the belief that he knew about it, had a hand in it or some other variation... not that he ordered it himself. He's way to dumb to order anything himself, much less come up with some organized attack.

Secondly, in case you haven't noticed, Bush doesn't really seem to have much regard for the Constitution, much less it lets him or doesn't let him do.

I am cognizant of Article I Section 8 and I am cognizant of the 1973 "resolution" known as the War Powers Act. The War Powers act is a non binding "resolution" as is the nature of a "resolution". Many constitutional legal scholars believe that the "resolution" is not within the Constitutional powers of Congress and I would assume that is why it was passed as a resolution. Many constitutional scholars maintain that the Congress does not have the power to over ride Article II Section II of the constitution which designates the President to be the Commander in Chief of the military.

Maybe you can point out the "48 HOURS" that the "resolution" states as I cannot seem to find it.

As for me being misinformed, maybe you should rethink that position.

Bump for Linkster.

Yea but you don't go to war for fun just like that... you gotta have "reasons".

It's always better to have the support of a people behind you. Plus...he needed to win the next election. DUR!!!!!!!!!! HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MORON!!!!! RE-ELECTION??????????????

Bump for Linkster.

That was very long!

The key word is "war". Only the congress can declare war.. The President can use the military though. i.e. North Korea etc. were "police actions". Thus congress passed the War Acts Resolution. It's true that it may be unconstitutional, however evey president to date has followed it while at the same time wording things in such as way as to not agree that it's constituational. There are also legal scholars that feel that any military action taken without congressional approval is unconstituational but that hasn't been resolved either.

Section 4 contains the 48 hour part.

I saw the reference to 48 hours but I do not read it as being the President has to report within 48 hours.

Regardless of the fine print...
A war of aggression is illegal.. and this was/is a war of aggression..

I think you came close to setting the record for most spelling errors in one sentence, on an errors-per-number-of-words ratio.

Then again, this is GFY, you probably didn't even come close.
:pimp

Shhhh you'll ruin it for all the liberal morons.

We declared a "War on terror!"

Which if you think about it is as descriptive as declaring a war on air. All posturing but no actual declaration. It's great for rmarketing.

Thanks Karl Rove.

a law can say anything, you are correct.. its getting the people behind it that matters.. We're the real power, and the real fear of the elite.. the people.. An awake, aware, itelligent populace is the worst enemy to government... Which is why they want us believing one thing, while they do another under the guise of FREEDOME FIGHTING.. Problem, reaction solution. :2 cents:
