House Dems protest GOP’s plans for permanent war against terror

Nearly three dozen House Democrats are calling on Republicans to withdraw a section of the 2012 defense authorization bill that they say would effectively declare a state of permanent war against unnamed Taliban and al Qaeda operatives.

A Tuesday letter from House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers Jr. (D-Mich.) and 32 other Democrats argues that affirming continued war against terrorist forces goes too far, giving too much authority to the president without debate in Congress.

Their letter cites language in the authorization bill that incorporates the Detainee Security Act, which affirms continued armed conflict against terrorists overseas.

“By declaring a global war against nameless individuals, organizations and nations ‘associated’ with the Taliban and al Qaeda, as well as those playing a supporting role in their efforts, the Detainee Security Act would appear to grant the president near unfettered authority to initiate military action around the world without further congressional approval,” Democrats wrote. “Such authority must not be ceded to the president without careful deliberation from Congress.”

The specific language in the bill is found in section 1034 of H.R. 1540, which affirms that the U.S. is “engaged in an armed conflict with al Qaeda, the Taliban and associated forces.” It also affirms that the president has the authority to detain “certain belligerents” until the armed conflict is over.

“Al Qaeda, the Taliban and associated forces still pose a grave threat to U.S. national security,” the bill says. “The Authorization for Use of Military Force necessarily includes the authority to address the continuing and evolving threat posed by these groups.”
so is this a ploy for us to vote fro dem's or is it to late???

It's the beginning of hte end. OUr country will continue to bleed money and we will continue to pump up our military as we're projecting our failures onto enemies abroad. Soon the rest of the world will lose trust in us. Russia will react by by becoming more aggressive. Either way, with climate change and population issues, the future is looking very messy from where I'm standing. I don't think it'll be near as bad as I fear, but it won't be too far off from the truth.

The world is moving towards a world government but it will require some time to form. There need to be more wars and cultural revolutions first. Borders need to come down. More equality is desired so that poor nations can stand on their own. So much. No telling 50 years or 500.

To me we are already in WW3 and we have been in this war for nearly 10 years....Nostradamus in one of his quatrains said this war would last 27 years.......many of his predictions have come true.....

The quatrain is No. 77, Century No. 8. the quatrain says:

"The antichrist very soon annihilates the three,
twenty-seven years his war will last,
the unbelievers are dead, captive, exiled;
with blood, human bodies, water and red hail covering the earth."

the war we are in began in 1993 with the fist bombing of WTC, but if you read the full text of it Century VIII quatrain77, it could be the start date of may 2 2011 when OBL was killed line 4 tells how he is to be buried, at sea and he was, so then the war has begun a new war that will last 27 years 2038 is when it comes to a head, did not mean to get off topic,
but then again where is section 1034???? did they just pull it from the bill??? did they not include it in the first place???? if so should this not be in the you know what bin???

You know what makes it so hard for me to believe anyways? The words "certain belligerents." The term belligerents is used by a neutral nation when other nations are at war.

YES! Last time I checked we can still vote the belligerents out of office right? Then we can repeal and replace this non existent section 1034. I wonder if CIA-16 (code name Oahu) had anything to do with this?

This isnt breaking news. The Patriot Act circumvents the Constitution. Perpetual wars? We are in three unconstitutional wars as we speak,and we havnt declared war on ANYONE since WW2,but have been in countless wars. I goggled "Congress Will Vote To Declare World War 3",and you are spreading this on countless sites. "A" for effort,but none of this is breaking news,IMHO. When you talk WW3,your talking the WHOLE "world" involved. I havnt heard of ANY other nation, backing this,or getting involved in this.


Well China, Russia, Libya, Syria, Cuba, North Korea, Venezuela are all pretty much unhappy with us and im sure there are others too. Here we have our government saying we can declare war on terrorists and anyone who helps them ( a profile for which there is zero legislation stating their rights, as opposed to POW's and the geneva convention) while it is pretty public knowledge (at least ATS wide) that China had heavy ties to Libya and Russia in Syria likewise. So, these other countries are opposing us to a certain degree. Shoot, even Russia's prime minister called out Nato asking who gave them the right to kill Gaddafi. Now weather or not they did is another discussion, point is he publicly made a statement on Russian news that will alter the perceptions of the russian people against the ideologies of America. Not to mention Russia and china both warned the west to stay out of the libya no fly zone issue.

Its not far of a stretch, considering these events, to spectate on the idea that sides are already being picked for a huge multi nation war. The "WHOLE world" doesnt need to get involved, in previous W.W.'s there were a handful of neutral countries, we were one of them for a period of time.

Shouldn't the title be something like, Congress votes or proposes to grant full war declaration powers to the President? The title is a bit mis-leading and speculative on your part Op.

Point made however, they should not change that part of the constitution imo. That particular part was written in specifically so that the people of each state would have a say in whether our country goes to war or not. IE Your say wont matter.

Yeah, i thought that at first too, but I read the blog and he links directly from the legislation and provides opinions from credible sources that have also been linked in this thread.

I am glad you are so sure, I however am not. I know people who have bit the hand that feeds whilst finding a new hand to beg at. This happens in society because of people, I dont find it too impossible for the people running our governments to do the same. If it doesn't happen, id be glad to be wrong.

The majority of people walk around in a mindless daze, worrying about the newest 'celeb' gossip. We become divided as a race and subject ourselves to influence by a corrupt and immoral society so we may 'fit in'. Divisions in humanity, divisions in the social structure, division even in a childhood playground. The powers that be have very clear motives, and they clearly are motivated to end you. The more and more the illusion becomes transparent, the harder some begin to turn the other cheek. Life is so good in that fake bubble, everything is just peachy. Why bother facing the reality of the world?

The days go by, whatever freedom each of us have is corroded away by pens and paper. Freedoms that are taken from us by our 'elected' officials, that so dearly hate us. The days go by, but everyone is idle. The days go by, and the seven-headed beast opens its mouth to devour us all, while we willingly become enslaved. The powers that be were waiting for this. They were waiting for the day you were too stupid, too lazy, too ignorant to defend yourself.

Perpetual war leads to perpetual death. Death leads to hatred, resentment, which turns to revenge. Revenge turns to war, war turns to death. Will you just watch it happen, without resistance?

The days are still going by, but they are numbered now. Once the countdown is reached, you'll have to make the inevitable choice. Will you become the fuel the war-machine needs to perpetuate itself, or will you stand against it?

SPREAD THE NEWS EVERYONE! Alert your family, your friends, your neighbors, that person that's working at the grocery store, whoever you can tell!

It's not too late. It's never too late. As horrible as this is, as horrible as the lie of this 'Democracy' is, we can still do it. We can still build a world of peace, we can still fill the air with love instead of radioactive poisons.

“Be the change you want to see in the world.”
- Mahatma Gandhi

Best of luck to you all getting the word out, this should be the headline thread on ATS. This should be the headline on every website.

The way i see it, we have a lot of enemies. Or at least countries who seem to oppose our propaganda, or public media. You are correct we are very dangerous, and we idolize people whose ideas are not worth idolization, I mean our society has made Mike "The Situation" richer than many educated people of importance.

So we are now collateral and controllable for use as threats towards another country. "My people will back me in invading your country, so take my advise and give me what I want." - Some Future President, speaking to some other world leader, hypothetically. lol.Greaaaatttt

For those that just can't seem to find it it is at

Page 134. Section 1034

armedservices.house.gov...

and it is worded so that it allows a sitting president to have full control of the military to do as the president wishes in accordance to this ( without having to seek consent from congress ).

www.gpo.gov...

BTW there is a whole lot of goodies in that bill. A hint towards where we are going to end up in regards to China so gear up for that. Also, moving from Afghanistan to Libya so get ready for that too.

And for those that say it wont pass, I'm laughing at you, it is the Defense Bill it is passed every year. Blindly at that. And yes read carefully there's lots of good verbiage to allow any and anyone to be detained indefinitely without due process. Hate to say I read it all but, I did.
