President Trump gets sucked into
an unconstitutional war in Syria
an unconstitutional war in Syria
By Gary;
It's Deja Vu all over again . . . . now in Syria and also in Yemen.
Trump is rightly suspicious of foreign entanglements. But my gut feeling is the Military-Industrial Complex is feeding him the usual line of crap that if the U.S. is not bombing or invading some place then the entire world could collapse any second. The opposite is closer to the truth.
The latest report is that without a constitutional declaration of war Trump is pouring troops into Syria.
Almost 1,000 U.S. troops are in Syria as part of the ongoing
preparation for the fight to oust the Islamic State group from its
self-declared headquarters of Raqqa. Around 500 soldiers were
deployed into Syria with heavy artillery guns, senior U.S.
official said Wednesday. According to the Pentagon, an
additional "400 or so" Marines and Army Rangers
have arrived in the last few days.
I have Blogged over and over that Syria and the Middle East have somehow managed their own affairs without American "help" for the last 10,000 years. Let the Arabs be the boots on the ground. It is their homeland.
Eternal War
Congress and the Military-Industrial Complex have rigged the system to have eternal war.
In the olden days the Constitution had Congress openly debate and vote on going to war against Britain, Mexico, Spain or Germany. But then the war ended when a peace treaty was signed. Hostilities were ended and now there was no need for big spending on war related businesses.
George Orwell hit it on the head in 1984. Orwell said war must be eternal to keep the Sheeple public in a perpetual state of fear and to keep the money flowing to the Military-Industrial Complex.
That brings us to the so-called "War on Terror".
No debate was held on this "war", no enemy was identified and no vote ever held. With no enemy identified there is no one to talk with about signing a peace treaty.
Islam has been "terroristic" for 1,400 years. The Military-Industrial Complex has chosen the perfect enemy, and that is why the CIA has been arming Islamists.
Now Trump is invading Syria with its dozens of Islamist factions. Will Syria ever be "safe enough" to withdraw our troops. See Afghanistan on that subject.
Welcome to Eternal War.

Meanwhile we are running 15 years on in Afghanistan and the problem is still not "solved". (UK Independent) |

Sheesh Gary - you're anti-war, pro-market, pro-liberty, and you don't call yourself an Austrian anarchist? You're citing the same thinkers they do.
John I don't like labels in general.
Simply I am ME. If I call myself anything it is a Hamiltonian Constitutional Federalist.
