Kucinichs amendment to defund U.S. military intervention in Libya is cosponsored by Representatives Walter Jones (R-NC), Pete Stark (D-CA) and Ron Paul (R-TX).

Yep
I can see the Gulf of Tonkin on the horizon.

Why is the No Nation Building left silent about this?
This is Obamas War but I doubt that we will hear any such words come out of Nancy Pelosi or Harry Reid.
You could cut the hypocrisy with a dull spoon.

Can he get the U.S. military to follow an illegal order? Yep - but that’s just air support and a no fly zone. Can he get ground troops for this illegal operation which was never approved by Congress or the American people? Yep, they’re on thier way.
If he can do this, will anyone in the military say “No sir” when he orders up the same “kinetic action” to prevent deaths of poor innocent Palestinians at the hands of the IDF? That’s next, this was a test. It seems to me that the military will follow the commander in chief, whether the order is illegal or not. He’s just set precedent and has eased them into what’s next.
But I probably just need to put my tin foil back on.
Obama unveils Iraq pullout plan Combat operations to end in 18 months Backed by McCain, but some Democrats irked

Examples: BO dancing in Rio; BO playing basketball; BO playing golf; BO sending Marines to Libya and telling them to keep their feet off the ground.
there wont be boots on the ground?
Being a Muslim this is allowed, lie, lie, lie if it fits the situation. Allah allows this. And George Bush said we worship the same god ? Statements such as this are going to get a lot of people killed.
"We're only sending advisors to Vietnam."
My son was stationed at Camp Lejeune and this was his unit.
