November 10, 2008 "New York Times" -- - November 9, 2008 -- WASHINGTON -- The United States military since 2004 has used broad, secret authority to carry out nearly a dozen previously undisclosed attacks against Al Qaeda and other militants in Syria, Pakistan and elsewhere, according to senior American officials. These military raids, typically carried out by Special Operations forces, were authorized by a classified order that Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld signed in the spring of 2004 with the approval of President Bush, the officials said. The secret order gave the military new authority to attack the Qaeda terrorist network anywhere in the world, and a more sweeping mandate to conduct operations in countries not at war with the United States.

So now all this stuff is surfacing, oh woop-dee-woo. Let me guess. they're gonna go after Obama like a tiger on heat about anything and everything and say "look, we're so bipartizan" and claim they did the same to Bush.
And the low-information talking heads and dumbasses will let them get away with it. keep to the Fen Causeway
