Breaking Promises and Increasing National Debt are Obama's two best accomplishments . All he is concerned about is his legacy when he is finally removed from office...

So, he wants to be remembered as a promise breaker and a debt hiker......... Does that make sense to you ?

who gets the aid money??

Hezbollah the terrorists, or Assad the illegitimate leader, per Obama himself?

or maybe the rebels, who are being targeted and killed by Russia

$439 million?



Like this country can really afford it.

How does this happen without Congressional approval?

Or maybe Obama isn't the only guilty party here?

Hey, is that CIA backed rebel group still fighting the DOD backed rebel group? LOL that was hilarious, tax payers money being put up against each other. What a world we live in.

in our society, the civilian government retains control over decisions to go to war, whom to fight, and with whom to ally.

The link says it is humanitarian aid to help the refugees, and will go to fund programs run by the U.N. and other relief agencies.

There is a certain amount of money set aside that the executive branch can toss out at will. Don't know if it is this or not.

Remember when candidate Obama said that striking countries without congressional approval was illegal if they didn't pose a direct and immediate threat? All the gullible people that cheered, chanted, and fainted when he said that are now silent.
