The Obama Administration says the War Powers Act doesn't apply to Libya because bombing and blowing up a country until its leader is deposed doesn't constitute engaging in "hostilities." Somewhere in the afterlife George Orwell is either blushing, or this was the tipping point that finally gave him his wings. I don't need to tell anyone that if Obama were a Republican Cindy Sheehan would be staging topless protests in front of the White House right now. Let that sink in for a second.....let me rephrase that.....clean the vomit off your screen, and let that sink in for a second. Liberals in this country are preparing to line a billion dollar warchest so they can go to battle for their guy against a challenger that comes from "the party of the rich." At this point we all can agree that the real and only reason he won the Nobel Peace Prize was that the air he exhaled brought peace to second hand smoke addicts. Now he engages in a military conflict (some are even willing to call it a war) in the real sense of the term "unilaterally." He thumbs his nose at Congress over it so hard so hard that his boogers are now victims of friendly fire, and liberals who think Bush should be strung up for Iraq will think it's the end of the world if this guy doesn't get reelected.
If Bush is a war criminal to these people without being able to credibly point to any specific law that was actually violated, then how is this not worse?
It’s “Or What”
This is all just a diversion to take away the Debt limit issue coming up in a month.
The GOP will hide behind this issue until the last moment, when the debt increase must be voted on, then claim they have to act now to increase the debt limit.
And they will vote without anything in return.
Obama proves that code pink is just a DNC PAC.
The fraudster in chief needs to be arrested and thrown in jail.

i say yes, Obama is.
JUST as Clinton is, for bombing Yugoslavia.
We were on the WRONG side then, as now.
Look at the things the World Court have accused us and Israel and the Serbs of. Always on the unsubstantiated words of Islamists, like the ones who really killed Al-Dura.

but NATO is actually bombing NON-military buildings. Now, civilians really ARE dying in large numbers. including indirectly, from food and water shortages, because of OUR bombing.
The handful of “rebels” may be grateful to us, but the “hearts and minds” of most Libyans, will remember us with terror, not gratitude.
and Obama did nothing for millions killed in Sudan, or confirmed massacres in many other places. (including Coptic Christians in Egypt, Christians burned in Nigerian, and Pakistan.). Or even videotaped large-scale massacres of civilians in Syria.
Gadafi IS a corrupt dictator. but no worse than dozens of others. and better than most.
...yet Obama rushes to bomb the xxxx out of Libya, for civilian deaths, “alleged” by the SAME “rebels” we fight in Afghanistan!
Obama bombs the one single Arab leader who renounced nucs, and was turning in Al-Quada fighters to us. We now HELP Islamists who admit they fought against us and tried to kill our troops in Afghanistan!
The U.N. gave us a “no-fly” zone to protect civilians, not to bomb them. NATO takes it to bomb anything the Islamist rebels tell us to, including a school for disabled children, an Orthodox Church, and a private home with children in it?
(the only CONFIRMED dead children, have been killed by NATO!) Typical liberal hypocrites, do exactly what they accused Bush of:
Bishop of Tripoli: NATO bombs a Coptic church. Civilian Casualties.

Not until or unless Congress makes him so.
