Obama Tells Congress To Respect His Authority - Caption Contest

Tyler Durden's picture




 

The White House says President Barack Obama has told congressional leaders he has the authority he needs to take the action against the Islamic State militants that he will outline Wednesday night, according to AP. Following the meeting, the White House said Obama still welcomes action by Congress that would "aid the overall effort" and demonstrate to the world that the United States is united in defeating the threat from the Islamic State. So that's that then... does he also have 'authority' to fund the $5bn (or more) he needs for this crusade?

 

Uncomfortable much?

As Ron Paul noted earlier, The Imperial Presidency continues...

Five bi$$ion a lot of scratch!?!?!?!?

I rather think not.

Why just a few years back, Goldman Sachs convinced AIG to sell it puts against the latter's debt.  The former then shorted the latters debt, putting the puts far into the money.  When Goldman couldn't collect from AIG because the former had driven the latter into bankruptcy by shorting the latter's debt - perhaps an unintended consequence -  it went to collect the $20 bilion from the US Treasury, which after all exists not to manage the day to day cash flows of the government, but to act as a public exchange backstop to private entities which never pay it any insurance premium.

So no, $5 billion is not a lot of change.  Nor is $20 billion. Turbo Timmy whipped out his pen and phone and did that w/o consulting Congress.  You know - petty cash drawer. Now $2-3 trillion buying wothless MBS is real dough.

I call Treasury all the time wanting to get made whole on my bad business decisions.  They never answer my calls or send me a check.  Just sayin.

Congress hasn't done a fucking thing to curtail this idiot and his unconstitutional Presidential Orders, nor do I expect that they will. As bad as Obama is, the senate/Congress is just as bad. Anyone of those fuckers could hold a press conference and denounce Presidential Orders. The House could pass a law that strips the president of these powers. BUT, none of that happens because the vast majority are ALL in on the scam.

you know the intelligence community will determine
the best use of the money must be to give it
to the "terrorists". "they" may become underfunded
due to other considerations and 5 billion to them
will justify 500 billion to combat them, given that
all parties are significantly savvy to leverage the base
money 100 to 1, it should all work out really well?
keep the faith and wave a flag has worked in the past.
.
the "terrorists" need a satellite program, global seas
threat and informational world wide web presence,
please help by supporting the intelligence and
defense funding. if o man need act alone, so be it.
the war must continue for the sake of the warriors
and the economy money system, to deign otherwise is

Sure would be fun to follow each of those dollars.  How much of the 5 billion will be spent for "administrative overhead" in Washington?   Then how much goes to payoffs and bribes of local governments and tribal authorities.  Not much left to weaponry.  No doubt the accounting for this money will be completely opaque so that nobody really ever will know.

Administrative overhead -- $1 billion

Weaponry -- $.1 billion

Miscellaneous -- $3.9 billion

The Jihadis Return: ISIS and the New Sunni Uprising

In June of this year, the United States sent more troops to Iraq and carried out airstrikes to stop the advance of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, known as ISIS into the Kurdish capitol Erbil. However, a more complicated situation has developed in Syria. The U.S., Western European, Saudi, and Arab Gulf policy is to overthrow Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, which is also the goal of ISIS and other jihadis in Syria. ISIS’s membership is between 10 and 17 thousand. We talk today with veteran Middle East correspondent Patrick Cockburn about his new book The Jihadis Return: ISIS and the New Sunni Uprising, about the origins of ISIS. We’ll also talk about the role of Saudi Arabia in the larger picture and in funding part of the Sunni terrorist groups, which was exposed by Wikileaks.

Patrick Cockburn:

The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, which has turned into the new caliphate in western-northern Iraq and western Syria. It has come out of Al-Qaeda in Iraq.
This organization that was linked to Al-Qaeda but not formed by Al-Qaeda after the invasion of Iraq in 2003 is very anti-Shia, Sunni fundamentalist is extremely violent.
What makes it so effective is its a mixture of religious fanaticism and military efficiency.
Some of the senior people of ISIS are former security officers and special republican guard officers from Saddam Hussein’s time.
ISIS is led by a core of people who fought the U.S. in Iraq, fought the Iraqi Army, this is after 2003 and then after 2011 fought in Syria.
So, it’s quite an experienced group.
It had been growing stronger in Iraq over the last 3 years. It launched a series of campaigns, one of which to break its members out of prison.
It had taken over quite big territory in Iraq then it had moved into Syria.
It’s present in both countries, but its main effort was in Iraq this year.
It always had strength in Mosul City, even though the Iraqi Army was in theoretically in charge but it would still levy protection money on people.
Maybe 8 million dollars a month. I know contract men there paying half a million dollars a month.
It’s final take over was swift and devastating. I can’t think of an example in history when 350 thousand men in the Iraqi Army, 650 thousand police simply disintegrated under an attack from under 3000 ISIS fighters.
What really changed in 2011 when you had the uprising in Syria, primarily the Sunni Arabs of Syria, Iraq politicians said it would spill over into Iraq.
The U.S. and its allies to a substantial degree were responsible for this. They backed the uprising against Assad. Even when it was apparent in the last 2 years that Assad wasn’t going to go.
Wahhabism is the Islamic variant practiced in Saudi Arabia.
There’s always been an alliance over the last 300 years between the preachers of this very puritanical, fanatical, violent and bigoted variant of Islam and the House of Saud.
What they believe is not that much different from what ISIS believes. It’s very anti-Shia, the Shia seen as heretics worthy of death. It’s anti-Christian, anti-Jewish and deeply intolerant.
Without the policies of Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, there wouldn’t have been a 911.
Bin Laden was part of the a Saudi elite.
Rather amazingly, the Saudis were let off scott-free.
Kuwait has been a major financial supporter of the Jihadis, so has UAE, so has Qatar, the gulf monarchies as a whole if you like and so has Turkey.
The problem with Obama and the U.S. is they have to decide what side they’re on. In Iraq, they’re supporting the government against ISIS, they’re supporting the Kurds against ISIS.
But in Syria, the main opponent of ISIS is the Assad government but the U.S. policy is to weaken and displace that government.
In a way, (the U.S. policy actually assists ISIS)

Query for the board:  Who in their right mind would want to "defeat" ISIS.  ISIS can't be defeated the way the Viet Cong couldn't be defeated, or the Russians defeated in WWII, the Americans in 1776, or the MAericans today should somebody be foolish enough to invade (illegal aliens notwithstanding).  No, you can't win a war against guerillas.  Have to treat it like cancer.  Beat it into remission with a bunch of cruise missiles.  Expect it o come back then send in a few more drone with the hellfires.  No need fopr boots on the ground.  Take away their income source and let them till the desert.

Prima facaie case that Obama is an idiot: he didn't bomb the ISIS captured refineries nine months ago.

Query 2 for the board:  Why are crude prices down $10. After all thee is war in the Middle East.  I read that Venezuela has become a crude importer - that hope and change and ObamaProduction is working real well in their oil fields.  Could the answer be that ISIS is dumping crude/products on the market for whatever they can get?  Is Obama not bombing the refineries because the election is coming up in eight weeks?

So exactly where does Obamao get the "authority" to wage a war against ISIS.  Is he claiming that the Congressional vote to authorize military action against Saddam Hussein is still in effect and can forever be used to intervene in Iraq?  Even then, Congress didn't bother declaring war, which is its friggin' duty.   So a single vote by Congress for specific action at a specific time can now simply be morphed into a permanent state of war whenever a president feels like it?   Is there no role for the Supreme Court to rein in these imperial presidents?  Balance of power my ass.

What our Imperial leader is confronting, has been going on since the early 1930s-- since Middle East (ME) oil became vital after WWI and especially during and after WWII to present!

Quote [Chapter #9/ii ]::    "Iraq and the Arab Countries"

it was only after the second war that the pan-arab sentiment of the educated public diverged from official policy. the first king faisal led a revolt in the hope of creating an inclusive arab state and he pursued it to the end of his life. in the 1930s, iraq, as the first arab mandatory state to gain her independence, became centre of pan-arabism and a refuge for palestinian and syrian nationalists, to whose cause successive governments gave support. the palestine problem was of particular concern to them; in 1936 nuri al-said, and then king ghazi himself, mediated informally to end the arab strike there, and in 1940 the iraqi government was prepared to offer full belligerency on the allied side in exchange for a solution acceptable to the palestine arabs. with saudi arabia and with egypt, which in a political sense was hardly yet considered an arab state, iraq maintained amicable relations. in 1936 she signed a treaty of brotherhood and alliance with saudi arabia, which was joined by yemen the following year.

when in 1941 the british gov't promised to support any generally approved scheme for strengthening the political ties between arab countries, it was nuri al-said who took the initiative; he had been tireless in attempting to gain concessions for the palestine arabs and had in 1940 tried to establish a common policy with turkey in case syria and lebanon gained independence. in 1943 he circulated a proposal fo a league of arab states to comprise, in the first instance, iraq and a greater syrian state consisting of syria, lebanon, transjordan, and palestine. the scheme gained little arab favour and the egyptian gov't, apparently with iraqi and other encouragement, initiated the negotiations which resulted, in 1945, in the foundation of the broader and looser arab league.

the creation of the league marked a transfer of arab leadership from iraq to egypt. this was inevitable as soon as egypt egypt interested herself in arab unity, for her ambitions were supported by political sophistication and a long history of nationhood, apparent prosperity, industrial development, manpower, metropolitan grandeur, a central geographical position and undisputed cultural supremacy in the arab world. the years that followed have been marked by conflict between hashimite states-- iraq and jordan-- and egypt, each side with its own interpretation of arab unity: on the one hand a close unity of the 'fertile crescent' would be an obstacle; egypt accordingly opposed it with the assistance of political allies in syria and her influence over the arab league, which became increasingly an instrument of her policy. saudi arabia was in her active ally, for, however formally good her relations with the hashimite countries, she had no wish to see their power consolidated and extended."    end quote         http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hashemite

cont.:      the struggle was essentially for syria, and of the two hashimite states it was jordan, under king abdullah, who first sought union with her. his persistent efforts to effect it with himself as head aligned syria with egypt against the hashimite states; the division was confirmed by the treaties with turkey which iraq and jordan ratified in 1947. as the palestine situation deteriorated king abdullah transferred his attention there, with the idea of incoporating as much of it as possible in his own state; egypt responded by supporting the 'mufti of jerusalem' against him. the mutual suspicion with which the arabs fought the palestine war in 1948 was largely responsible for their failure. when jordan finally incorporated eastern palestine in 1950 egypt and syria attempted to expel her from the arab league, but were prevented by the opposition of iraq and yemen.

even before the assasination of king abdullah in 1951 iraq had replaced jordan as a potential partner of syria, but with considerable caution. 'abdullah's ambitions had been approved neither by part of her ministerial group nor by much of her public; and iraq advocates of union realised that differences of government and foreign policy could be reconciled only by patient negotiation. within syria herself there was a considerable body of support for union, and when colonel husni zaim assumed power by military coup d`etat in march 1949 he was initially in favour of association with iraq; but while the iraqi gov't was considering his limited advances, egypt and saudi arabia intervened swiftly to win him to their side. colonel sami hinnawi, who displaced him in a second coup d`etat in august 1949, represented the supporters of the union, which seemed likely to be approved by the syrian constituent assembly; this prospect probably provoked the third military coup d`etat, of abid shishakli, in september 1949, after which union with iraq was put aside and close political, economic and military relations were established instead with egypt and saudi arabia. relations with iraq were strained, particularly in february 1954, immediately before the fall of the shishakli regime, when iraq was accused of intervening in syrian internal affairs. in the course of their rivalry over syria, iraq's relations with egypt had also worsened , the continuous vituperation of the egyptian radio playing no small part. one group of iraqi statesmen was particularly anxious to restore amity, and in 1950, muzahim al-pachachi, foreign minister in the cabinet of 'ali jaudat al-ayyubi, visited cairo and agreed that iraq should deter any plans for union with syria; the cabinet was forced to resign in consequence. shortly afterwards egypt proposed an arab collective security pact, which was clearly designed to discourage such union; iraq joined it only in modified form, jordan not until king abdullah's assasination. in 1954, after the fall of shishakli, the iraqi prime minister, dr. fadhil al-jamali, submitted to the arab league a proposal for its transformation into a federal sate, which failed for want of support.

from 1952 onwards the rivalry between egypt and the hashimite kingdoms assumed a new form, to which growing wealth of iraq and her economic development, in contrast with the precarious economy of egypt, added bitterness. against the material power of iraq the egyptian military regime was able to pit the force of the new nationalism, of which it had appointed itself the standard-bearer, and to convert a competition between governments into one also of ideologies. it thereby won the support of much of the politically dynamic public in other arab countries, including the hashimite states thenselves, and was strengthened by the triumph of a similar ideology in syria. the new nationalists, in iraq as elsewhere, pointed a contrast between the spectacular agrarian measures in egypt and the slow progress of land reform in iraq, and between evacuation of the suez base, the soviet arms and economic agreements, and the nationalisation of the canal of the one hand and, on the other, the alliance with great britain and turkey in the baghdad pact.

What would that be? Kill 10,000 and bury them inside of pigs, in the desert without markings. Didn't hear a fucking word from them from that point on did ya?

The President does not have the authority to act against ISS since it would be an act of war which must be approved by the Congress. Legal scholar Raoul Berger has written and documented a President's limited role as the Executive branch. His book  " Executive Privilege, A Constitutional Myth" is a primer on the subject. But Congress has to challenge him and threaten to launch an impeachment proceeding to stop him. Or as someone else has stated refuse to release funds for any combat action
