Strikes against Syria: Did Trump need permission from Congress?

President Donald Trump after speaking at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Fla. AP Photo/Alex Brandon Launching 59 cruise missiles at a Syrian military airfield in response to a Syrian chemical weapons attack that killed dozens of civilians raises important questions. Does the president have, or should he have, the authority to use military force without the explicit consent of Congress?

US airstrike on Syria: What next?
David Mednicoff, Assistant Professor of Public Policy and Director, Middle Eastern Studies, University of Massachusetts Amherst at Politics + Society – The Conversation - 6 hours ago
Make no mistake. The April 6 U.S. airstrike on Syria following Bashar al-Assad’s chemical weapon attack is a remarkable shift in President Donald Trump’s – and Washington’s – past policy. As president-elect, Trump’s Middle Eastern concerns centered on defeating the Islamic State and depicted Syria’s millions of refugees as potential extremists and a threat to U.S. borders. The president now justifies American attacks on Syrian airfields as a “vital national security interest of the U.S.” Trump himself said that Tuesday’s ghastly chemical attacks changed his mind on the Assad reg... more »

On April 6, two U.S. Navy destroyers in the Mediterranean Sea fired 59 Tomahawk cruise missiles at Shayrat airfield in western Homs province in Syria. The strike purportedly came in retaliation for the Syrian government’s use of chemical weapons in an attack in Khan Sheikhoun earlier in the week. According to the Pentagon, the strike targeted aircraft, hardened aircraft shelters, petroleum and logistical storage, ammunition supply bunkers, air defense systems and radars. The intent was to minimize civilian casualties and comply with the Laws of War, according to the Department of... more »

America First?- So Donald Trump said. America first was not apparent in the strike on Syria. *Globalist, Bankers, Israel first looked more to be the reality.* Yes, Israel, that’s what struck me about this US attack. This move echoed the usual Israeli airstrikes that benefit the terrorists in Syria. Was the US acting to benefit Israel? To take the heat off of Israel’s constant support of terrorists?

The last time Syrian dictator Bashar al Assad supposedly used chemical weapons, the story quickly collapsed under scrutiny.

SourceWatch: A Website For Political Conspiracy Theorists
In today's hyper-politicized culture, honest disagreement is a challenge. Social media, which has become a sewage pipe of blatant political partisanship and unscientific propaganda, has accelerated this disturbing trend. If two otherwise intelligent people disagree on something, accusations of being a liar, fraud, or paid shill are often quick to follow. read more
China Urges Restraint After Last Night's US Missile Attack On Syria
*L.A. Times*: *China urges 'restraint' after U.S. airstrike on Syrian airfield* China on Friday warned against “the escalation of tension" in Syria after President Trump launched an airstrike on a Syrian government air base, adding a surprise twist to his two-day summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping. The U.S. launched 59 Tomahawk cruise missiles at the base late Thursday in response to a chemical weapons attack in Syria earlier this week that killed dozens of people in a rebel-held area, many of them children. *Read more* .... *WNU Editor:* The Syrian missiles are distractio... more »

Life's too short
If you’ve got a spare 5 minutes, listen to caller “Caitlin” spout handfuls of cliches and meaningless banalities in a quavery voice on the Stephen Nolan show. You’d get a better picture of the programme, which was about the Livingstone affair, if you heard the whole thing, but you might feel life’s too short. Towards the end of the show when the torrent of falsehoods reaches a crescendo, Nolan silences Douglas Murray. “Let Caitlin speak!” So Douglas was prevented from putting matters straight. What unsatisfactory chairmanship. A truly pathetic way to chair a phone-in.

Lorry rams crowds
It’s terrible to hear about another vehicular attack; as someone online laments: “and Sweden isn’t even *involved* in fighting ISIS!” The BBC says: “Stockholm lorry rams crowds, killing at least three people” and tells us that Swedish officials are calling it a terrorist attack. At the bottom of the page they have this “Timeline”: Oddly enough, it seems like only yesterday when the BBC reported another vehicle ramming. Oh yes, it *was* yesterday. Why does the BBC think car-rammings in Israel are somehow not worth including in their "Vehicle ramming Timeline" ? All 57 of them?

"The Authoritarian Impulse: Getting What We Really Don’t Want"
*"The Authoritarian Impulse: Getting What We Really Don’t Want"* by Fred Reed “As a society crumbles, as bitter divisions grow and disorder spreads and nothing seems to work, anger comes and people begin to want a man who will say “Enough!” and slap down the malefactors–by any means necessary. A man who will make the trains run on time. A man who will make it safe to walk in the parks. This is the authoritarian impulse.

Because Congress has not declared war on Syria, multiple legal experts and lawmakers suggested the newly started war is illegal and unconstitutional. Form... more »

Military And Intelligence News Briefs -- April 7, 2017
*FOX News:* *About 20 Syrian jets destroyed in missile strike, defense officials say* The U.S. missile strike targeting a major Syrian air base in Homs early Friday destroyed about 20 Syrian jets, two senior defense officials with knowledge of the strike told Fox News. None of the jets managed to take off and escape before U.S. missiles hit the target, the officials said, adding that all of the destroyed aircraft were jets -- not helicopters. No Russian aircraft were at the Sharyat airfield. The U.S. launched 60 missiles in all. It was believed that one missile failed and likely... more »

Global Finance Needs Our Schools to Fail
by Alison McDowell @ Wrench in the Gears April 7, 2017 Yesterday Peter Greene expanded on an idea I’d put forth a few months back that Competency Based Education (and really all digital curriculum) was a way of gradually turning neighborhood public schools into charters from the inside out.

Are The Democratic Party Elites In DC Playing Right Into Trump's Little Fascist Hands?
Writing at the *Intercept* yesterday, Mehdi Hasan asserted that "it isn't only Republicans, it seems, who traffic in alternative facts. Since Donald Trump’s shock election victory, leading Democrats have worked hard to convince themselves, and the rest of us, that his triumph had less to do with racism and much more to do with economic anxiety-- despite almost all of the available evidence suggesting otherwise."

DONALD TRUMP WAS NEVER AN ISOLATIONIST AND HIS FANS DIDN'T THINK HE WAS
President Trump ordered an airstrike on Syria last night. If you listen to mainstream pundits, you probably assume that this could be unsettling to Trump's most passionate supporters, who thought he was an "America First" isolationist. But the pro-Trump media doesn't think this is going to be poorly received by the fans. Here are the headlines at Breitbart: Here's Fox: Here's the U.K.'s *Daily Mail*: There won't be any cognitive dissonance for Trump fans.

Unapologetic Ugliness
There are those who claim that Donald Trump is a new kind of Republican. Paul Krugman isn't so sure. When it comes to governing, Trump keeps repeating Republican boilerplate -- and getting nothing done -- because Republicans don't know how to generate policy: Mr. Trump’s first great policy and political debacle — the ignominious collapse of the effort to kill Obamacare — owed almost nothing to executive dysfunction. Repeal-and-replace didn’t face-plant because of poor tactics; it failed because Republicans have been lying about health care for eight years. So when the time came t... more »

The Most Stubborn American Labor Force Issue
There is one stubborn issue in the American labor force that the Federal Reserve has been powerless to fix with their monetary alchemy; the disappearance of prime working age men from the workforce. What is particularly interesting is that this disappearance has continued, unabated during both economic expansions and economic contractions, crossing the boundaries that separate generations of workers. Hereis a graph from FRED showing the labor force participation rate for men between the ages of 25 and 54 going back to 1948: At 69.3 percent, the current male labor force participati... more »
