Obama: U.S. Currently Fighting Wars in 14 Countries
(From the Activist Ammunition section in Volume 20, No. 2 of the Liberator Online. Subscribe here!)
The War Powers Resolution requires the President to report twice a year to Congress on U.S. military operations being conducted overseas without a congressional declaration of war.
President Obama filed his latest such report on December 11.
The report went virtually unmentioned in the mainstream press. Yet in it, Obama reports the startling, little-known fact that “the United States has deployed U.S. combat-equipped forces” in no less than… 14 countries.
As Daniel McAdams of the Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity summarizes: “In other words, the U.S. government is at war in 14 countries!”
Here’s the list:
- Afghanistan
- Iraq
- Syria
- Somalia
- Yemen
- Cuba
- Niger
- Chad
- Uganda
- Egypt
- Jordan
- Kosovo
- Central African Republic
- Tunisia
