I am totally confused.... Cause I see it as a statement of fact regarding the Constitution. So if the Constitution includes that statement he did NOT lie.

Now is he in violation of the Constitution....seems so. But then what he is doing is unconstitutional but still NOT A LIE.

Do I like what he is doing....nope I never like putting American servicemen and women in harms way when it does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation.

And now a plane is down.....

Without naming any names what other administrations have been in violation of this policy. So I will start with Kennedy and Johnson. (Vietnam war)

Please join in...................
As usual, you twist in order to make YOUR point and ignore what is typed !

I simply stated that the man made definitive statement...I did not question that statement or its constitutionality, and pointed out his actions were not consistent with that statement.

You and others have just got to make the comparison....enjoy

Oh, but he did get the permission of the Arab League just not the congress !
