Obama must either go to congress and ask for authorization, or go to congress and explain why he isn’t asking for authorization.

Congress, for its part, should either authorize it, or cut off funding. Obama is bypassing them, and purposely making them irrelevant.

Actually, they are doing it to themselves by not standing up. The first thing they did was create a trillion dollar slush fund that he could spend without their input, then they started passing laws they didn’t write and didn’t read. And now he is redefining war so he can ignore them, while they pretend not to notice.

They must either authorize it, defund it, or begin impeachment proceedings. Or else pack up and go home, they have already become a vestigial digit and there is no use paying their salaries anymore.

It’s not a war. It’s a Nobel Peace Action.

What if Russia hit Washington DC with just one nuclear weapon? Could they argue that because of the limited nature of the strike that it wasn’t an act of war? Okay, scale it back a notch. Let’s say North Korea sends a shipping container filled with Sarin gas to Dallas and sets it off. Act of war? You could use all of the Administrations’ arguments to say no. Scale it back another notch. An Iranian warship drops a mine directly in the path of The USS Ronald Reagan and sinks it. Act of war?
The whole mechanism propping up Progressivism is controlling the language. For those of you who read “1984” it’s New Speak.

Now let’s look at it from the other perspective. How does the Libyan government see our limited engagements? Act of war? I’d say they feel threatened and if they were to respond with a counter attack, say bombing a stadium during an NFL game, they’d feel plenty justified. Now, if we were really involved in a limited way, say we hired third party agents to meet with, train and supply the rebels, okay that probably would be limited and Libya’s response of killing large numbers of Americans would be “unjustified.” (Remember, when in this scenario, justification looks different.)

Obamaspeak:

Bombing Libya isn’t war.
Killing unborn babies isn’t murder.
Two men sodomizing each other is marriage.
Spending a trillion of the federal treasury will stimulate the economy.
Obamacare isn’t a government take over of health care system.
It’s Bush’s fault.
If you are looking for partisan rhetoric, I’m not your guy.
We’ve saved or created jobs!
