• It Is Unconstitutional to Attack a Country that Did Not Attack US, Says Rep. Yoho at House Hearing!

  After over four hours of a House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing on Wednesday, Rep. Ted Yoho (R-Fla.) made the clearest statement in the hearing.
  –
  “I cannot, I will not, I shall not support intervention in this conflict,” Yoho declared. “Our action would be one of attacking a sovereign nation, a nation that did not attack us, an act of war. And if we start war, we invite war, do we not? And I view this as unconstitutional, to attack a country that did not attack us.”

  Shortly after Yoho’s comments, in his closing statement, Secretary of State John Kerry disputed both Yoho (and implicitly Gen. Martin Dempsey), in denying that attacking Syria is an act of war.
  –
  “I don’t believe we’re going to war,” Kerry declared. “I just don’t believe that. Going to war is mobilizing a force, asking people to join up, fighting a long campaign, committing your troops on the ground, fighting to win, and so forth. That’s not what we’re doing here.”
  –
  A second gross blunder, or worse, by Kerry, was when he said that he has been assured by Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov that there won’t be a war, that “Russia doesn’t intend to fight a war over Syria,” and both Lavrov and Putin “have indicated that Syria doesn’t rise to that level of potential conflict.”
  –
  This is exactly that which Lyndon LaRouche warned against, in his  Aug. 29 7-point statement, when he stated: “Claims that the Administration has understandings with Russia and Iran to prevent any such escalation must be dismissed as unreliable, particularly when weighed against the threat of military action leading to world war, and the likelihood of the use of thermonuclear weapons.”
