Yesterday the House Voted Support For US Troops Attacking Iraq. Council on Foreign Relations member Richard Gephardt, House Democratic leader said, "We must send a strong message, the strongest possible message, to Saddam Hussein that domestic politics will never, ever affect our resolve" This summer Council on Foreign Relations member Gephardt told an American Television audience that the day was soon coming that the United States would have to become part of an international regime. Council on Foreign Relations member outgoing House Speaker Republican Newt Gingrich said, "No matter what our debates at home, we are as a nation prepared to lead the world," I rise to say today to Saddam the United States can both govern itself and lead the world simultaneously." The resolution passed 417 to 5. Council on Foreign Relations member William Clinton and his fellow CFR members planned and carried out the Iraq attack to coincide with the Holiday season. America's Council on Foreign Relations, Britain's Royal Institute of International Affairs, and their branch organizations in other nations don't want Peace on Earth, they want a state of perpetual warfare to maximize profits from media, medicine, munition, energy, and food industries directed by members of the Council on Foreign Relations and their branch organizations in other nations. American's are being fed pap. We are told that "our" government is taking into consideration Iraq's religious observance. Why isn't "our" government taking into consideration America's religious observance? Why are we sending American troops to kill and be killed at a time when they should be home with their families observing their own religious beliefs? We are told that the Iraq attack is necessary to protect America's "national security interests." Isn't the threat to our "national security interests" much greater than just Iraq? Aren't China, Pakistan, and North Korea, a part of the same threat? If President Clinton is so concerned about the development of weapons of mass destruction why did he sell Communist China key military technology? Shouldn't the "threat" be debated in Congress, and clearly defined? Shouldn't alternate solutions to the "threat" be discussed and placed before the American people, so they understand exactly what the "threat" is and what options are available? If military action is necessary, shouldn't such action be debated and voted on by congress? Has Iraq attacked America? What National Emergency allowed Clinton to Declare War on Iraq without the consent of congress? The war powers clause of the United States Constitution, Article I, Section 8, expressly requires authorization by Congress before the President can engage in acts of war, unless there is a direct attack upon the United States. Clinton violated the War Powers Resolution of 1973 that was enacted by Congress over President Nixon's veto to prevent a repetition of the Vietnam War scenario, where Americans were misled by repeated presidential lies, misrepresentations, deceits and falsehoods. If the House really wanted to support American Troops they would vote to bring them home and add an Amendment to the Articles of Impeachment to the effect that Clinton should be impeached for violating the War Powers Clause of the Constitution and the War Powers Resolution of 1973 and is therefore in violation of his constitutional oath required by Article II, Section 1 to faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States and, to the best of his ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States. If the House really wanted to support American Troops it would add an Article of Impeachment, that the role of other Council on Foreign Relations members in President Clinton's administration in aiding and abetting the President in violating his constitutional oath to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States, be investigated.
