OBAMA WANTS PERMISSION

"To seek international permission to engage in combat then to follow with congressional approval" as said by Leon Panetta with orders by Barack Obama. To follow is reply  by Republican Senstor Jeff Sessions " Let me for the record be clear again," he replied. "When it comes to the national defense of this country, the President of the United States has the authority under the Constitution to act to defend this country and we will."  Ifthe delay in obtaining permission threatens operational success, we should be prepared to proceed without it. The U.N. and its Security Council are composed of countries that are hostile to the U.S. and seek to frustrate our policy. We should never concede that they have a check on our power to act in our interests. The only legal check on our military power is the one our Constitution gives to our Congress.
