Flipping the Switch from Lose to Win- Libertarian Leadership - Video
President Barack Obama has taken the United States to war, now in Syria and Iraq, in violation of the U.S. Constitution just as he did in Libya in 2011.
Whatever differences they may claim, Democratic and Republican politicians are aligned when it comes to foreign meddling, said Nicholas Sarwark, chair of the Libertarian National Committee. President Barack Obama and former President George W. Bush both resort to war in the end.
The president cites the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force to justify dropping bombs 13 years later. But its approval by Congress applied only to nations or groups that planned, authorized, committed or aided the 9/11 attacks. The Islamic State (IS) did not exist in 2001 and is an enemy of al Qaeda.
Even if the AUMF could be applied, the Constitution requires that Congress vote specifically on a declaration of war before engaging in military action. For the same reason, the 2002 Iraqi War was also illegal.
Last week, congressmen and women refused to vote on a war declaration. Instead they authorized funding to arm and train appropriately vetted Syrian fighters.
This is wildly reckless and irresponsible, said Sarwark. The old parties in Congress just spent $20 billion arming and training Iraqi soldiers, only to see U.S. military weapons land in the hands of the Islamic State. This new measure could end up arming future enemies in Syria as well.
Obama has admitted that IS presents no immediate threat to the United States.
The bigger threat is endless war and a heightened risk of terrorist attacks on U.S. citizens as a result of military intervention, Sarwark said.
The Libertarian Party and its candidates call for getting out and staying out of Iraq and Syria.

Ogun State Governor, Ibikunle Amosun | credits: File copy
The All Progressives Congress in Ogun State has described as a wishful- thinking the purported plot by the ruling Peoples Democratic Party to defeat the incumbent governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, in the 2015 governorship election.
This is coming against the backdrop of a purported plan by both the Labour Party and the PDP in the state to merge in their bid to unseat Amosun.
President Goodluck Jonathan was reported to have endorsed a working arrangement between the PDP and the Labour Party, aimed at shoring up the chances of the former to produce the next governor of the state.
However, APC, in a statement made available by its state Publicity Secretary, Mr. Sola Lawal, scoffed at the plan, saying it would not succeed. He also described it as a joke.
According to him, existing chaotic internal dynamics within the two opposition parties would end up frustrating their plan.
He further noted that both the PDP and the LP had always worked together in the state, adding that such a gang up had never produced any worthwhile result for them.
He said, In 2011, all the present members of the Peoples Democratic Party and the Labour Party in Ogun State were all in the PDP with only a sprinkling of them in the PPN, yet the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria, a precursor to the APC, trounced them.
He added, Without the executive power of government in its hands, the APC pummelled the combined forces of the opposition. Now consider how much easier it will be with the superlative performance of the Amosun administration to send them to their electoral grave.
The party likened the gang up against Amosun as an exercise in futility, which has already failed before being executed.
