The Senate has passed a bill to fund President Barack Obama's troop surge in Afghanistan. The almost $60 billion measure passed by a bipartisan 67-28 tally. More than half of the funding would go to the Pentagon, mostly to support Obama's influx of 30,000 troops to Afghanistan. There's also $5 billion to replenish disaster aid accounts, as well as funding for Haitian earthquake relief and aid to U.S. allies in the war on terror. The bill includes legislation to allow the Coast Guard to receive advances of up to $100 million from the oil spill liability trust fund to pay for the federal response to spill in the Gulf of Mexico. The House has yet to approve the war funding measure, which faces opposition from many anti-war lawmakers.

How obscene. The 67 "For" Senators and all the Representative who will vote "For" funding this undeclared war should be put on the Ashcanistan fields with rifles and let them fight whoever they think needs to be killed.
God, I hate these bastards. And all the yokels that lent their applause and gave their votes to that long-eared Harvard phony who promised them he'd end the wars - I have nothing but contempt for them. They get what they deserve.
Had Congress stood up to Truman in 1950 and SAID NO WAR WITHOUT OUR APPROVAL, we would not be in this fix.
Too late. They had already given up our sovereignty.
Congress voted for WW2. They did not vote for Korea. Congress by the Constitution, not by any treaty, funds all wars. No money no war, just as we have seen today.. Without the money Obama would be FORCED TO WITHDRAW.... It has nothing to do with sovereignty, treaties or anything else. No one stands before Congress and dictates passage of any money bill.
They voted to fund it.
I think that was my point from the very beginning, funding is not authorizing.
Sometimes, Cynicom, you are all wet ... kinda like a limp boiled noodle. You are diametrically wrong. As an example, how on Earth did GWBush get authorization to commit ground troops in IraqII?
Saddam Hussein threatened Israel, hence, The New Hitler had to be removed by all means and we (America) do all the fighting for Israel:
The Cold War completely collapsed the US Constitution. Why do you think you see the rapid changes in America, today? Actually, it works well within the US Constitution since treaties may modify the same. And no amendment process is required at all. It is all written in the "living" and "breathing" document.
And no amendment process is required at all. It is all written in the "living" and "breathing" document. That is "UNTIL" the so-called governing force loses the consent of the governed. At that point we have to consider the options. The entire world is close to rebellion. The entire world is demonstrating less tolerance with respect to being fucked around by the arrogant PTB (currently). G-20 spending a BILLION for security is an indicator.
