Rep Walberg Responds to Sec. Panetta's Statement on SyriaBy JGillman, Section News
Panetta give a clue as to what is inside the heads of progressives and world apologists in our federal administration:
"As you go forward, will you consult with the United States Congress?" Washington, D.C.- U.S. Rep Tim Walberg (R) MI-7 released the following statement after Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta's testimony before the Senate Armed Services about indicating that he would "seek international permission" before any action relating to Syria rather than asking Congress for such authority. "I believe Secretary Panetta's comments to the Senate Armed Services Committee were telling. This Administration doesn't appear to believe Congress is to be consulted when it comes to military intervention. As we learned in Libya, the President did not deem the Constitution, the War Powers Act, or the U.S. Senate as a check on his ability to go to war. The President should remember that he is bound by the legal authority of the United States, not the "permission" of the international community that the Secretary alluded to in his testimony. I'm glad that Secretary Panetta has since clarified his remarks, and I hope that before engaging in any future military conflicts the Administration puts our country ahead of the interests of the international community."
