"If the Nuremberg laws were applied, then every post-war American president would have been hanged.No.
This is a legitimate use of force.
But I am wondering if Darrell Issa is drawing up impeachment papers as we speak.
This is a criminal use of force. The Constitution authorizes military for the defense of the United States, and this isn't it. Congress has no basis to declare war for that reason either. There is no Constitutional authority for our involvement in this no matter how you slice it.
You basically just described every military action after WWII and quite a few before it.
"By violation of the Nuremberg laws I mean the same kind of crimes for which people were hanged in Nuremberg.
"And Nuremberg means Nuremberg and Tokyo. So first of all you've got to think back as to what people were hanged for at Nuremberg and Tokyo."
Chomsky agrees.
