War Is Never Over. <<< "I think in the crafting of the AUMF [authorization for use of military force,] all options should be on the table, and then we can debate whether we want to use them,” [Gen. Martin] Dempsey said in an interview with an in-house Defense Department reporter published last week. “But the authorization should be there." Dempsey’s comments were also echoed by Secretary of State John Kerry, who said THERE SHOULD BE NO LIMITS ON POSSIBLE ACTIONS BY THE PRESIDENT. HE ADDED THAT THERE SHOULD BE NO TIME LIMIT ON THE USE OF FORCE, according to the Detroit News. The lack of authorization didn’t stop Obama from launching the campaign against ISIS over the summer. More than $1 billion has been spent fighting ISIS since then, including conducting 1,700 airstrikes and sending 3,000 U.S. troops to Iraq to assist Iraqi forces fighting the militant group, according to the Huffington Post. >>> #AbolishThePresidency #AbolishCongress #USOut
