This not only is a clear truth, but should also put to rest the notion that the UN can "take guns away" from American citizens. The UN cannot supersede the US Constitution.
Even if they could do it on paper -- who would do it in fact? The UN has no army. In fact, the UN has about enough authority to order coffee for the ambassadors, if they can come up with the money to pay for it...
NATO and the UN are outdated. We should shut them both down.
@Towncrier123 But we are paying for and putting BOMBS on the ground. To what end? The claim is that we are NOT trying to remove Qadaffi, so what are we doing.
We had no "boots" on the ground in the first days of the Gulf Wars either...
Obama is guilty of war crimes, crimes against humanity, bombing civilians, destroying the US economy, killing border agents with an illegal gun-running program, redistributing other peoples wealth to drug addicts and welfare queens, racism against whites, Liberal plantationism against blacks, destroying healthcare, and exposing the Left for the "hope-and-change and shit for brains" traitors they really are.
Obama has acted beyond his authority. We don;t even KNOW if we have "boots on the ground" as there are repeated rumors of US "advisers" (usually spelled CIA) helping the rebels.
The French had no "boots on the ground" until the 4th year of the American Revolution, but were selling arms to the Americans since about 1775 and legally as of 1778. Spain had no "boots on the ground", but was allied with France and the Spanish and French navies were key to the American victory.
@Soyuz59 if we are dropping bombs there are boots on the ground...they are needed for target aquisition and targget designation. after the bombs fall they do bomb damage assesment. the types of units deployed are called marine scout sniper teams, army ranger and long range survalience units (LRSU) as well as army special forces...
i know this for a fact becouse i am a 20 year army vet, most of which was spent in the airborne, special forces, and on LRSU teams.
I do not disagree with you at all. After all, despite the fact they contributed no troops, Spain effected the outcome of the American Revolution.
But we likely have "advisers" there as well, which I can state because I served in a similar role for the USSR before I defected, having grown sick of helping a demented system survive so long.
@Soyuz59 oh yea advisors from both our countries were the first pawns to go into harms way...doesnt matter if it was us army special forces or ussr spetsnaz. both systems are / were crooked as a dogs hind leg and run by meglamaniacs....we worked for the same people they are crazy as hell and totaly ungreatful.
@abntemplar82 Of course, spetsnaz. was separate from KGB. It was done so to create a counterbalance.
Even today, the Russian Federation has a stake in Libya, both in terms of investment and a relationship with the leaders.
The people cheering Obama on fail to remember how Iranians brought down their tyrant -- only to replace him with another. This is not a lesson lost on many Russians -- who replaced a monarch with a dictator.
@Soyuz59 i am right there with you brother, the problem is in the last 35 years americans have not had to study our history as i once did. they have no concept of what this country is or stands for. they vote party lines and nothing more. they have no clue about the responsability of citezenship. when you mention iran and the 78 revolution, the shaw of iran was put into power by a military coup, orchastrated by the united states cia and brithish mi 6, replacing a democraticaly elected pres.
@Soyuz59 yea it seemed to me at times that our s.f. was in the pockets of the cia. they controled our movements and operations as if they were really in the chain of command. officially the cia has no military authority either unfortunetly it never works out that way in real life. i cant of course comment on the spetsnaz and how you guys worked but that was what i saw in speical forces.

One cannot impeach Obama because he is NOT the President - so says the United States Constitution. Period. Obama MUST be arrested. Period.

YES but even when Bush did this, within 60 days HE DID get congressional budget approval.
OBAMA has not brought ANY resolution to get approval from congress.
