Kucinich: Obama Deployed Troops To Jordan 'Without Notifying Congress'...

Kucinich: US 'Immeasurably' Closer to War in Syria


Ohio Democratic Rep. Dennis Kucinich believes the deployment of American troops in Jordan — which was announced Wednesday — brings the United States "immeasurably" closer to being dragged into the civil war in Syria.

"I can see in a moment how it happens: we're a few dozen miles from the Syrian border and all of a sudden we are within the reach of physical danger. All it takes is a single incident," Kucinich said in a phone interview with U.S. News.

The Ohio congressman complained that the commander-in-chief sent the troops to Jordan "without notifying Congress." Ironically, Kucinich noted, the Obama administration announced the deployment exactly ten years after the House of Representatives authorized President George W. Bush to invade Iraq.

Defense Secretary Leon Panetta disclosed on Wednesday that over 100 American troops had been sent to near the Jordanian border with Syria.

"As we've said before, we have been planning for various contingencies, both unilaterally and with our regional partners," explained Pentagon spokesman George Little in a statement reported by The Associated Press.

The AP reports that the U.S. troops will be working on "increased cooperation and more detailed planning" in response to the Syrian conflict.

Kucinich, however, doesn't see the necessity of sending troops. "Putting U.S. troops on that border draws the U.S. much closer to war in Syria, which is a nightmare already and can be more of a nightmare for our country,"...

Thats less than a company, and they are probably all Intel types trying to get any information they can about WMD's and the current state of the Regime.

Now if the DoD tried to move a Comabt Brigade or a Divison, then he would have to get congressional approval.

Say what now?

No he would not. He is free for 90 days to do as he pleases. Nothing he has done in regards Jordan is illegal, suspect or wrong. Give it a rest, we need to be ready in case Jordan is attacked.

I agree under the war powers act, this is the case. However he would be smart to go to congress sooner rather than later if combat troops are needed.

And I do agree Jordan being dragged into this would be bad.

I dunno, Obama certainly exceeded the war powers act in Libya, effectively taking care of the nonexistent threat of Quadaffi and arming terrorists.

lol! More like, Syria needs to be ready in case Jordan & the U.S. attacks. That's a much more likely scenario.

Last I looked congress was not listed in the command and control structure of the military, they only get the bill.

Last I looked congress was not listed in the command and control structure of the military, they only get the bill.

They control the purse string, but more importantly the War powers act says if the President commits troops to combat he has 90 days to inform and get permission from Congress.

He did not commit combat troops but if he had they were not committed to combat. so nothing he did is against current law nor outside his power as commander in chief.
