And then a year later he launched a military campaign in Syria anyway, without Congressional authorization, under slightly different auspices.

So true. There is never a debate about war any longer. The executive and the military do what they want and the congress and the courts just go along with it. Here's something to ponder - can an empire ever be a democracy? Probably not.

The US have illegally armed sectarian death squads in Syria, are illegally occupying Syria, have been illegally bombing Syria, have killed thousands of civilians. Yet claim to be attacking Syria - a country thousands of miles away that hasn't attacked the US - in "self-defence"

Also recall that the US presence there is illegal under international law.

Just read a section in theorist Zizek’s recent book on “fifty shades of ignorance.” Citizen ignorance - it’s cozy, it’s easy, it’s taught. It will be our ultimate downfall.

I swear to God, I didn't even know we had troops over there. What were they doing? I knew they were supposedly bombing ISIS and there were special forces on the ground, but that's it.

It just happened not unlike the US entry into the war in Vietnam. All you need is a few CYA congressional resolutions, an unbridled executive, and a few ambitious officers, eager to make a career. A bit of yellow journalism and a maniacal fear of Russia don't hurt either.
