Shocking:Top Obama Military officials claim they need international, not Congressional, approval for military action against Syria

Don't these people know they are governed by the U.S. Constitution?
WASHINGTON, March 7 — Under question from Sen. Sessions at a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing today, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey indicated that “international permission,” rather than Congressional approval, provided a ‘legal basis’ for military action by the United States.
 Senator Session takes Defense Secretary Leon Panetta to task. Panetta ends up looking like a complete moron as he tries to justify asking foreign permission for military action, but not Congressional.
