If President Obama is supporting al-Qaeda, the Taliban, or associated forces, should he be subject to indefinite detention under the terms of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA)?
As The New American has chronicled since it was first proposed, the NDAA purportedly authorizes the president of the United States to deploy the armed forces to apprehend and indefinitely detain anyone suspected of providing support to terrorists. Section 1021 of the NDAA reads in relevant part:
Congress affirms that the authority of the President to use all necessary and appropriate force pursuant to the Authorization for Use of Military Force (Public Law 107-40; 50 U.S.C.1541 note) includes the authority for the Armed Forces of the United States to detain covered persons (as defined in subsection (b)) pending disposition under the law of war.
A covered person under this section is any person as follows:
A person who was a part of or substantially supported al-Qaeda, the Taliban, or associated forces that are engaged in hostilities against the United States or its coalition partners, including any person who has committed a belligerent act or has directly supported such hostilities in aid of such enemy forces.
And, finally:
Detention under the law of war without trial until the end of the hostilities authorized by the Authorization for Use of Military Force.
A plain reading of Section 1021 reveals, then, that anyone who is found to have “substantially supported” al-Qaeda or associated forces can be detained by the military until the end of the War on Terror. Now, the relevant question becomes: Has President Obama substantially supported al-Qaeda and if so, how?

The Racketeer “Broken-back Obama” is the number one man, who the NDAA was aimed to deal with. o the corruption called “Broken-back Obama” has a secret psychological desire, (like most hardened criminals), to get caught. Lets get the crook good a proper!
I say throw him in a cell LITERALLY and throw the damn key away!!!!! He should live the rest of his miserable life in darkness. Since all he is doing is bringing us Darkness
He should go to Leavenworth military federal pen for life without parole. He’s the number one offender of the NDAA. He’s illegally the president and everything he’s signed is illegal and unconstitutional. Google: haasstrep68
The courts should bypass the treason trial and put obama infront of a military firing squad for all the treasonist acts he has committed.
The Fraud in the WH should be indicted, he is not a legal POTUS and the proof is there for the taking if there where adults with the cajones to use them…
I AM VOTING FOR THE AMERICAN……The one with the real credentials and is “not” a card carrying communist..
He needed to be IMPEACHED a long time ago. Too late now. All we can do is HOPE Americans are smart enough this time to vote the SOCIALIST our of our WH and put a true American with real American values in office. We don’t need a welfare government. People need to work not live of hard working taxpayers. BO has put an end to the work requirement for welfare. SOCIALIST COUNTRY is what we are becoming. This is going to be like GERMANY once was.
It has come to lite Odumbo had many chances to get Ben Ladin and he past it up that is support in my eyes and Odumbo should be arrested and thrown in jail not only for supporting terrist but for murder as well two border agents killed 800 mexican citizens killed and Holder should be sitting right next to him alon with Clinton, Harry Reid , Valerie Jerratt also sen them all to jail for life
Why not use the very dagger OHOMO created to pierce his own heart ? I think the bigger question is why we have 535 whimpy ass politicians who are afraid of this skinny little dried up queer. There’s enough wrong doing on his part to have impeached if not arrested him 3 years ago. But the complacent spineless jellyfish who CLAIM to protect this nation sit on their pious asses and do absolutely nothing while WE THE PEOPLE sit here day after day watching them do nothing about every thing ! Ask yourself one honest question….is it, or is it not time for a revolution, not to over throw America but, to over throw those who would pervert the Constitution ???????
The obama thing, illegally Occupying the now greyish House, is guilty of aiding the Terrorist AlQuaeda and Islamist Brotherhood terrorist organizations PUBLICLY, togerther with the Clinton woman, and other government officers. No way to discuss this. It´s just that the SHEEPLE have got used to accept the fact that he seems to above the law. Sorry, not “seems to be”, he is above the law. He has recently even issued instructions to the CIA to help the terrorists that have invaded Syria, so he is aiding US enemies. Why, why, why are the Americans accepting this madness? Greatest news, is the fact that Assad, a patriot who never gave any reason to be attacked, is right at this moment eliminating the, reportedly, 20.000 terrorist, rounded up in Aleppo; taking his time in order to avoid hurting any civilians. Nobody but Russian media is reporting about this truth. Why? Mostly because the US and European economies are ruined and for the POWERS THAT BE, it seems to be more convenient to create WW3, than to be accused of creating the greatest financial disaster of all times. Well, at least in the US, the eventual scapegoat doesn´t even know what he has been ordered to do… He is just a puppet.
Detained and impeached and exiled. That would satisfy me. And you can throw in his cohorts Pelosi, Reid and a few dozen more.
He should be tried for treason and put in jail for life. In the Constitution aiding the enemy IS treason.
this is great how long before they pick him up??
Obama has answered a question that I have asked since I first took my military oath, back in 1968, and that is what a Domestic Enemy to our Constitution is. And the Enemies name is Barack Hussein Soetoro/Obama!
This Imposter Barry Soetoro AKA Barack Obama Should Never Been Able To Put His Name In The “President Hat” However When You Have “The Soros Open Society Institute”, Behind You And Your A “Colored Man” And You Do Not Want To Be Called “Racist”, Find A Spot For This “Phony” President, Without Ever Being “Vetted”??? Your The “Cub Scout Reject” Calling The Shots, Yikeess, George Soros Funded Center For American Progress, And Media Matters All Hard Core Chi-Town Mafia Politics!! God Bless America And Sheriff Joe Arpaio.
