Reply #78: AUMF's

[EVDebs]

The AUMFs, authorizations for use of military force, made supposedly under compliance with the War Powers Resolution of '73 (and embedded w/in the AUMFs) actually don't comply.

The War Powers Resolution of '73 requires "clear" (translated TRUTHFUL) "situations" and "circumstances". That alone needs to be investigated by Sen. Leahy's Truth Commission. 9-11 was an inside job and with Iraq, that was entirely based upon trumped up WMDs etc. du jour.

Once you go into the investigation that Leahy proposes everything else falls like a house of cards.

Turley seems to forget that those AUMF's language give Bush war powers "as he determines". That is being used as the justification FOR EVERYTHING. Once 9-11 is reinvestigated properly, you will find that the AUMFs were made fraudulently.
