Saw this link and thought the difference in interpretation of constitutional authority was fairly stark. There is a serious disagreement in our foreign policy that has not received the attention it deserves -- namely, the question of who controls our armed forces, who dictates the use of our resources. Panetta seems here to come down on the side of the international community. Those who still believe the national authority is constituted in the people may have a point when they argue that the Obama Administration (and liberals generally) see the Constitution as something to get around rather than as something that serves to form and constrain the federal government's power.

But tell me why I'm wrong... teach me.
