You Gotta Be Kiddng

This bombshell from WND:

In a ceremony that received virtually no attention in the American media, the United States and Canada signed a military agreement Feb. 14 allowing the armed forces from one nation to support the armed forces of the other nation during a domestic civil emergency, even one that does not involve a cross-border crisis.

The agreement, defined as a Civil Assistance Plan, was not submitted to Congress for approval, nor did Congress pass any law or treaty specifically authorizing this military agreement to combine the operations of the armed forces of the United States and Canada in the event of a wide range of domestic civil disturbances ranging from violent storms, to health epidemics, to civil riots or terrorist attacks.

The agreement was signed at U.S. Army North headquarters, Fort Sam Houston, Texas, by U.S. Air Force Gen. Gene Renuart, commander of NORAD and U.S. Northern Command, or USNORTHCOM, and by Canadian Air Force Lt. Gen. Marc Dumais, commander of Canada Command.

Since when can a run-of-the-mill armchair general sign an international agreement with another nation? One that will give control of our forces - in time of emergency they say - to another nation?

Obviously, the United States and Canada signed nothing, but one of our Air Force generals signed something without Congressional approval or authority, and no doubt illegal.

And Congress sits on its thumbs and does nothing.
