58. The Constitution says that ONLY Congress can declarer WAR nothing on your list is a war.
Sun Sep 2, 2012, 09:32 PM
Sep 2012

Viet Nam and the Iraq fiasco were both based on lies.
IF the traitors who created the pretense for Nam had been dragged before the court and prosecuted maybe
they would not have had the temerity to continue lying to the US population promoting their illegal wars for profit.
The indictment list is for the persons responsible for lying us into war and or violating the law.
Remember when we were a law abiding nation in theory?
Remember when we were obliged to follow the Geneva Convention?
Remember when we prosecuted people for torture?
Being lied into supporting a position or casting a vote is not a criminal offense.
