Hmmm..that raises the stakes considerably- I’d believed we were going to be largely background.

Amazing this decision was seemeingly made overnight. Not 48 hours ago it wasn’t happening. So will he be the first president to send our military into a mission of this nature without so much as a chat with Congress? Or does the blessing of the “international community” now do the job of Congress?

If Congress doesn't have the spine to defend their own authority it just might.

This confuses me too. Can you just goto war without a debate? Since when?

Actually news said tonight they had been prepping things for this two weeks ago...maybe a week?..I wasn’t listening that carefully but they are not going to say “a matter of hours” to get started if they weren’t pretty much prepared for a go.
