79. too funny

an intelligent and honest deconstruction of what GG wrote would be -- "in an effort to inject "imminence" into the bombing equation, and to at least attempt to satisfy the "legality" requirements under domestic law via the WPA and 2001 AUMF grounded in it, a "group" was disclosed..." He's not saying that bombing that group was the sole reason for all the bombing, nor that it's the reason why ISIL was attacked, he's saying that they've both been wrapped up into an appealing enchalada warmonger apologists are likely to swallow whole because the attack on the AQ-related group provides the tasty seasoning known as "imminence" that makes the entire effort palatable.

I'm sure GG is as bewildered -- as any intelligent and honest person would be -- as to how that made bombing inside another country "legal" under international law, when neither the bombing of the Taliban nor the SH forces in Iraq were on the same grounds -- a lack of a UNSC resolution authorizing it. Syria's gov has no more of a role in the efforts of those bombed than the Taliban did with the actions of AQ here.

But I suppose that attacking GG is more important than taking license with the law in this instance, since it's a dem pres, no?

GG didn't "Lie", he just apparently uses rhetoric some have difficulty properly deconstructing, or in the alternative, lack sufficient objectivity to even try due to GGDS.
