Ted,

Don't we have certain requirements to fulfill under the NATO alliance?

Yes, none of the requirements were triggered.

Are you suggesting fulfilling those requirements is tantamount to undertaking a pre emptive war like in Iraq.

There were no requirements, and the war was elective.

since WW II, presidents have pre-empted Congress's constitutional authority to declare war. It needs to stop.......if for no other reason than some presidents don't know when not to pick a fight.

I agree. The 2 recent presidents who did not follow this were Nixon and Clinton. Bush got congressional approval for military action (with Kerry's blessing).

Joe

The US is obligated under the NATO treaty to consider an armed attack against one NATO member as equivalent to an attack on itself if the attack happens in the "NATO area"

Which NATO member was the target a military attack by Yugoslavia or Serbia?
