We aren't attacking Yemen. We are searching out and killing people who are planning to kill Americans here and abroad. We are killing those that want to kill, and do kill members of our military, State Dept. staff and our citizens. They are people directly and indirectly connected to the people who attacked us on 9/11. They publicly call for another attack on us. Even before 911 we have had the War Powers Act. It gives the President authority to take action to protect the nation when it is needed to protect us.
As another poster suggested, it's sad that there are those that dislike the President so much that they would challange him about how he goes about killing our enemys. For some odd reason there are folks that get angry when we kill terrorist. They attempt to make killing our enemys a debatable political issue. This is actually aiding the enemy. It makes them safer as those chasing them down have to follow more and more rules. It makes if harder to select and get permission to execute operations. Sometimes the terrorist will get away because of the timing issue.
By your fucked up logic, you'd have no problem with the Yemeni government sending aircraft into America to bomb US citizens they believe may do harm to their people...cuz that wouldn't be an act of war.![]()
Yea, pass.
The Constitution requires war be declared before attacking another nation. That meddlers from both parties have ignored the law of the land does not make it right.
Those that attack the President and our military for attacking terrorist are helping the terrorist. Got that? You are walking a fine line between being anti-American and terrorist supporter,s or traitors.
Because you say so?![]()
Except we have the support of the Yemeni government and indeed our operations in Yemen require on the ground support and local intelligence gathering for target generation.
The government there generally cooperates with us privately, in fact, until Wikileaks spilled the beans they were openly taking credit for our strikes as a cover.
Sound like war...which Congress has not declared.
