U.S. deeply involved in deadly Yemeni strikes - Washington Post- msnbc.com

U.S. deeply involved in secret Yemeni strikes

have we declared war on Yemen? no
has the UN approved? no
Did congress give Authorization? no
Is is an illegal war and action? We are acting unilaterally why is that?
No allies are helping us.

Try Obama as a war criminal

I know you oppose just about everything America does, but it is not war since US troops work WITH Yemeni troops. If we attacked Yemen and fought against the Yemeni troops, then it would be called war.

It does not need Congressional approval since it is not war. We are helping Yemenis fight terrorism. Too bad if you have a problem with that

We work with the Yemeni government to assault the people of Yemen. Don't you know that is not a war? Besides Senator Lieberman said we must because the Yemenis threatened the Zionists and Connecticut needs more military spending.

The President is the commander of our military.
He has made a good decision, for once.

Yes. Right after 9/11, the Congress gave the Commander in Chief a virtual carte blanche to pursue terrorists wherever they go. That authority was not rescinded when Barack Obama took office nor should it be.

The President can send troops anywhere in the world, as he sees fit.
He does not need congresses approval.
