Letter from the President --War Powers Notification on Chad
The White House ^ | May 21, 2014 | Office of the Press Secretary

Posted on 05/21/2014 5:31:54 PM PDT by mdittmar

Dear Mr. Speaker: (Dear Mr. President:)

Approximately 80 U.S. Armed Forces personnel have deployed to Chad as part of the U.S. efforts to locate and support the safe return of over 200 schoolgirls who are reported to have been kidnapped in Nigeria. These personnel will support the operation of intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance aircraft for missions over northern Nigeria and the surrounding area. The force will remain in Chad until its support in resolving the kidnapping situation is no longer required.

This action has been directed in furtherance of U.S. national security and foreign policy interests, pursuant to my constitutional authority to conduct U.S. foreign relations and as Commander in Chief and Chief Executive.

I am providing this report as part of my efforts to keep the Congress fully informed, consistent with the War Powers Resolution (Public Law 93-148). I appreciate the support of the Congress in these actions.

Sincerely,

BARACK OBAMA

The sad thing is .. I see him more as doing everything ON PURPOSE. His goal was to destroy this country. I found that out when I read “The Roots of Obama’s Rage”.

The President’s whole life was an indoctrination from family who were Communists, Socialists, Marxists, and Islamists. Why is anybody surprised by how he’s acting ..??

This also explains why he hates the military; hates Christians, and believes America is the big bad meany in the world .. depriving the rest of the world of their chance at greatness.

While we’ve had presidents over the years who were Socialists, or leaned toward Communism .. we’ve never had a president whose sole purpose for getting elected WAS TO TEAR THIS COUNTRY APART.

Thank you for your service to America.

Did Nigeria even ASK for our help? How many other countries are joining us in this or are we unilaterally going into a foreign country? How will it be paid for? Why use a War Powers Act if the mission is not war related? American citizens want to know and Congress should have been consulted first. Obama only continues to act like a dictator.

A black muslin plant to get the black vote and the “oh we are sorry for all the bad things we did to black people” guilt filled whites who felt voting for him would wash away all the guilt for the past 160 years. They sadly did not understand he was a muslin and they are the kings of slave traders. The muslin slave traders were the ones selling the blacks to the white slave traders in Africa.

I thought it was 300 girls kidnapped.....?

Anyway, they’ve been dispersed by now. They may find a few, probably not most though. IMO
