Yes you heard me.
If Congress had done its job with a formal deceleration of war and a simple bit of regulation that falls in line with the treaties we signed all of this trouble could have been avoided.
I’ll show you with a from Section 8 - Powers of Congress — relevant parts are bolded

This “drug em” idea is basically a recipe for an instant sociopath.
Anyone with a basic knowledge of humanity can see this is a terrible idea.
The last thing we need are people who have killed women and children ,maybe raped tortured and murdered for an illegal war coming back to out [...]
I am usually reluctant to chime in on the Iraq other than to say I think it was wasteful and stupid and I want the troops home.
That being said I want to talk about the surge.
The surge is a very simple to understand.
Put more troops in a given area, insurgency goes down. The [...]

Rape without consequences on your own people .
As for the arbitration mentioned in the article. Don’t make me laugh. I’ll direct you to my previous article on that topic.
Really if the State Department wanted to deal with this they could arrest the persons holding her captive as terrorists under the Patriot Act [...]

Either charge them with a crime and get them to trial or treat them as a prisoner [...]
Absolutely Hilarious. Bill Maher has his own TV show and a number of books. Even if you disagree with him as I do on the issues of religion he is worth a watch.
Here is one of his “New Rules” this one on the Iraq War
New Rule, in two parts: A) You can’t [...]
I enjoyed this coldly logical article at McClatchy.com on the recruiters struggle to find quality recruits. I think the idea that the people can’t parse the risks is absurd.
Its not about being dead or maimed but about at least a 17% chance of coming home, maybe as high as 25% (peer reviewed American [...]
There were a couple of Pro Immunity editorials today, one at Opinion Journal and another at the Washington Post.
My reply is simple.
If you could be trusted with our liberty I might be inclined to let you slide. Your willingness to embrace the current administrations distaste for freedom tells me that this so called vital [...]
Government Executive.com has an interesting article on the Diplomat Draft, aka the Mandatory Iraq Service Requirement.
The attitude of the folks at the State Department tells me a lot more about whats going on in Iraq than any press conference would.
If you have to force your people to go with threats of being fired, than [...]
