Where's Code Pink? Where's Cindy Sheehan? Where are all the protesters now calling this the "illegal war" and that it's all for oil?

***crickets chirping***

[Lurker]

Where’s the Declaration of War? Where’s the invocation of the War Powers Act?

[GQuagmire]

Cue the crickets..

[treetopsandroofs]

Not much gets out from Sheehan since she started badmouthing Hillary and Nanzi, but this has sent her around the bend....

Solution to the problem in Libya: They want a new Muslim leader, I say give them ours.

[John.Galt2012]

Impeachment Avoidance...nothing to see here...move along.

Obamah is a WAR Criminal, bombing women and children for the fun of it.

That and for Libya's oil resources of course.

[Vaquero]

so the UN gives us our orders now?

[Palter]

She's still protesting. Just the media doesn't cover her.

I'm sure she's against latest intervention, just they haven't stuck a microphone in her face.

[treetopsandroofs]

So Hussein pre-dated a notification to Congress and released it while promoting foreign interests in South America — the ultimate in cowardice.

[Cicero]

These strikes will be limited in their nature, duration, and scope.

He's flat out lying already. Contrary to what he says, NATO forces have already bombed tanks and cars and civilians, and have taken out the building where they thought Kaddafi was staying. And that was all done even BEFORE this lying statement was released.

It's not just a case of mission creep. It's a case of flat out lies. I guess he doesn't want to admit his real reason: to help bring the Muslim extremists to power and bring in the promised caliphate.

No doubt he hopes to be the Caliph.

[TADSLOS]

It’s for the chil’run... of al Qaeda.

Cindy did condemn it that day. DU were calling her an attention whore and calling her nuts. Well, she's consistent in her beliefs. Can't say that about the lib hypocrites that are now slamming her.

Letter???? The Jerk Resigned???

[rockinqsranch]

I seems clear this guy Obama knows he screwed up, and is in deep doo doo.

This letter is to establish a communication on a matter he by law should have approached the Congress PRIOR to involving our Nation.

That anemic little acknowledgment at the end of the letter expressing appreciation to the members of Congress is chutzpah.

[DannyTN]

"Left unaddressed, the growing instability in Libya could ignite wider instability in the Middle East, with dangerous consequences to the national security interests of the United States."

Yeah, Obama knows he is on thin ice not having gotten Obama's approval. Even if he could define some national security interests, this doesn't rise to the criteria specified in the War Powers Act.

[Freedom56v2]

From the letter: “I have directed these actions, which are in the national security and foreign policy interests of the United States, pursuant to my constitutional authority to conduct U.S. foreign relations and as Commander in Chief and Chief Executive.

I am providing this report as part of my efforts to keep the Congress fully informed, consistent with the War Powers Resolution. I appreciate the support of the Congress in this action.”

Wait, here is war powers act from Wikipedia:
Powers Resolution of 1973 (50 U.S.C. 1541–1548) was a United States Congress joint resolution providing that the President can send U.S. armed forces into action abroad only by authorization of Congress or if the United States is already under attack or serious threat. The War Powers Resolution requires the president to notify Congress within 48 hours of committing armed forces to military action

So NO AUTHORIZATION FROM CONGRESS and US is NOT ALREADY UNDER ATTACK. He violated the War Powers Resolution—because it did not meet the initial provisions. Fact that he informed them in 48 hours is moot. Hmmmm Hypocrite? Did not Candidate barry say President Bush did not have authority to Invade Iraq?
