New Book " Confront and Conceal" Isn't New

The New York Times reporter David Sanger's Best Seller ," Confront And Conceal: Obama's Secret Wars And Surprising Use of American Power" is causing hands to wring. Or so Sanger's publicist tells us. The book lifts a veil that hid America's partnership with Israel in using constructive acts of cyber-war against Iran's nuclear program. So? Has Sanger forgot about the preemptive war of choice on Iraq? George W. Bush and Congress have backed a preemptive war policy. That effectively gives the Office of The Presidency unlimited power to take our country to war. War is too importatnt to be allowed by only one person. Even if that person is backed by Congress. War should only be allowed if a National referendum is taken of the electorate.

More and more of these preemptive wars may invite assassinations of members of our government.
