You have just as much basis as I do.

And again, show me in the Constitution where it allows preentive doctrine.
The constitution does not need to say that it is allowed. The president has all the authority he needs to use the armed forces as he sees fit to best protect the nation. As seen in the link I already provided.

Let’s think of this in very simple terms. Can the battalion commander use his battalion to accomplish a mission set for him? Yes he can.

The president is the Commander in Chief. His mission is to see that the nation, her people, and her interests are protected.

As there is nothing that says he can not use them preemptively, he can.

Interviewer:- Shooting! That's a bit irresponsible isn't it?

Jones:- I don't see why, they'll be properly supervised on the range.

Interviewer:- Don't you admit that this is a terribly dangerous activity to be teaching children?
You're equipping them to become violent killers.

Jones:- Well, you're equipped to be a prostitute but you're not one are you?
