President Ignores War Powers Act. Congress does nothing

In another blatant act of chutzpah President Obama declared that his direction of military action against Libya is so limited it does not have to comply with the War Powers Act. The fact that the operation was lead by the United States in establishing a UN approved No-Fly- Zone, air and missile strikes disappeared down George Orwell’s famous Memory Hole. The passing of the mission to NATO was nothing more than window dressing.

May 20th marked the 60th day of military action against Libya and the Administration can only declare the usual rules of war don’t apply to them. Sad to say the Democrats created the war powers act and it looks like the Democratic Administration’s contempt for the rule of law will render it useless. Their main argument: the mission is now NATO lead so the act no longer applies doesn’t hold water.

War Powers Act

The War Powers Resolution of 1973 was intended to check the power of the President to commit the military of the United States to armed conflict without the consent of Congress. The main exception in the resolution is a direct attack on the United States.

If the President commits the military in armed conflict he must notify Congress within 48 hours and cannot commit the military for more than 60 days without consent from Congress or a declaration of war. Without approval of Congress the President must withdraw forces within 30 days. To date there has been no indication of compliance from the Obama Administration with regards to Libya.

“...IF Barry Obama really is a radical Muslim...” .

He is not a radical Muslim — he is a devout Muslim.

There are some among us who think that there is a difference between the two.

We both agree he is a Muslim

We both agree he is a liar

We probably both agree Barry is doing things that are hurting America, I think it is now obvious he is doing these things on purpose.

I contend Barry is radical because he is spending $Trillions because he wants to destroy America Economically

I contend Barry is radical because he is doing everything in his power to prevent America from producing her own oil which sends $Billions overseas monthly

I contend Barry Spent $Billions on Stimulus knowing full well this was doing nothing to help economically but instead was sending America deeper into debt and deeper into DEPRESSION.

Barry wants open borders to help destroy America from within

I contend Barry is using the US Military to help put Al Qaeda into power in Libya

I contend Barry is sending $Billions to Egypt to help put the Muslim Brotherhood into power there

I think it is obvious Barry is doing things to put RADICAL Muslims into power overseas which will eventually bring down Israel, Europe and the United States.

That makes Barry very radical and very Muslim. You are not convinced yet but everything Barry does is consistent with what a radical Muslim would do as he aquires power. When he becomes more powerful he will take off the gloves and he will remove all doubt. By then, it will be too late.

“He is not a radical Muslim — he is a devout Muslim”

.
This was written, jokingly.

I so often read about “devout” and “moderate” muslims as if they are different from the jihadists. I was just immitating the MSM lingo.
