The offending text uses doublespeak to declare World War 3. Specifically, the text uses the phrase “affirms” “armed conflict” which is the terminology used by congress declare war in every war since World War 2.
IMHO it's unconstitutonal anyway as was "the patriot act".("voted" on or not Just because somebody puts it to a vote doesn't amend the constitution with its three equal branches of govt. ).

Unfortunately, many do no believe unless it is printed in the corporate media. Voted up your comment! As far as world war 3, that is exactly what it is.
Even the ACLU calls it a declaration of a new world wide war!

- Now we cannot oppose to the government because president can wage war on his own citizens.

There are only 2 ends to this vicious pattern we have set in front of us.
Either we elect Ron Paul who is the only POTUS candidate who understands the Foreign Policy this country was founded on.
Or the US Military needs to wake up and realize they are no longer defending the constitution or the people that the constitution was meant to defend. They are nothing more than the strongest tool of power for the elite. They need to realize they are not cared for by those who send them into these unconstitutional wars. Obama is never going to knock on my door and steal my constitutional rights. He will send one of you. If the military can stand up and say we have had enough there will be nobody left to do the dirty work for these elitists.

This bill was considered in committee which has recommended it be considered by the House as a whole. Although it has been placed on a calendar of business, the order in which legislation is considered and voted on is determined by the majority party leadership. Keep in mind that sometimes the text of one bill is incorporated into another bill, and in those cases the original bill, as it would appear here, would seem to be abandoned.
Last Action: May 11, 2011: Mr. Reed asked unanimous consent that the Committee on Armed Services have until 5:00 p.m. on May 17 to file a report on H.R. 1540. Agreed to without objection.
