Do you all think that people who voted for Obama in 2008 thought that he would end up using AUMF to circumvent explicit Congressional approval for a war in the Middle East?

Now I am depressed. Aecio Neves is tied with Dilma in the runoff in Brazil. Big media is trying to hard to get him elected.
For the record, Aecio has hit his girlfriend in public, is widely rumored to be addicted to cocaine, one of his closest allies was the owner of a helicopter busted with half a ton of cocaine, and was caught drunk driving, all within the last 5 years, and the media simply ignored it. He actually sued google to have it block any searches of Aecio and cocaine.

For the record, here's the guy:

The AUMF is explicit congressional approval for war in the ME.

The AUMF is basically a blank check, as long as you can somehow rationalize that you are fighting someone who had to do with the 9/11 attacks. ISIS was not involved, but Congresspeople are letting it slide because they'd rather not have to vote for or against something in an election year. Cowardly scum.

It is not explicit. It is not "we approve a war on ISIL in Iraq and Syria due to X and until Y is achieved."

That's the only logical solution given the constraints most people implicitly or explicitly hold any possible US action to. Outside of setting up a 19th Century style colonial government like the British Raj there is no "solution" to the Middle East that doesn't involve just killing everyone there

Well, it is in the sense that it was the official Iraqi Al Qaeda affiliate until Al-Baghdadi decided he's going to expand into Syria, Az-Zawahiri told him to cut it out, to which he responded with "shut the gently caress up, DAD!"

It just doesn't seem to be related to the affiliates that actually planned or executed 9/11, so the connection is tenuous, and with all the grandstanding against AUMF from Obama just months ago, this is all kinds of pathetic.

that was my experience with okc back in 2011 at least

still surprised that tindr has finally (seemingly) started to take off

I ran into a tindr date on Monday and the girl of the two walked away on the phone halfway through to describe the menu of the restaurant to some random friend who called

when me and the group I was with got up to leave she turned around and said to me "heyyy"

I did not know her.

tindr is what tindr get i guess

Dumbest place where people go on Jdate: Israel.

Edit: although, to be fair, I think it's less about "oh, no, let's make sure we filter out the 20% or so of the population that is non-Jewish, OKCupid has too many gentiles" and more "I want an American sugar-daddy/mommy my parents will accept and will also tolerate my racism".
