Did I miss a Declaration of War? (vanity)

Posted on 03/19/2011 4:02:39 PM PDT by Leaning Right

I just watched the news. US ships are firing at Libya. I was out fishing this morning, so I missed the early reports. Did we declare war on Libya? Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution grants Congress the exclusive power to declare war, so that's what happened...right?

I doubt very much that you'd find Barack out fishing! Øbama is in Brazil doing what they do down there, checking out thongs at the beach.

we blew more money on cruise missiles today than we have sent to corruptocrats in Haiti, my friend

How many Libyans did we save with our $200 million cruise missile volley today?

Now, when are we going to help people dying in Bahrain, Iran, and Yemen? Israel (shelled today)? Sudan? North Korea?

Ike, you are correct ... no zer0 there. Worms too much for zer0. Unless he took secret service to do the worms?

Naw ... Secret Service having a difficult enough time just being around zer0 to do worms for him too.

“this is the 35,000 ft AGL air war against Yugoslavia redux except with more missiles and oil booty to the victors”

With Hillary running the show, that makes sense...

No war. Jusr firing missle at targets. Actually something any President has the authority to do in a limited manner. But I suspect the writer knew that.

You mean how many poetntial “terrorists” have you recruited today with the 200 millions spend.
I´m pretty shure that some media will dig at least on “poor inocent” muslim out that may have gotten hurt.
But ok since now we have the support of the arab league.
(i´m still missing their planes, missiles ort just a single $ )

It is a “peace keeping action”
Bombing for peace is like Screwing for virginity.

The War Powers Act requires that the president notify Congress within 48 hours of offensive action against a foreign nation. So, Hussein has to serve Congress notice no later than 2:00pm EST Monday.

This is no different than helping Haiti. People are dying and we are doing what we need to do to stem that.

More people are dying on the Mexican/Texas border, not to mention Mexicans are causing great harm to our economy, choked off our medical system and have, killed, raped, robbed shot, stabbed, and ran over tens of thousands of Americans ...Shouldn't be be bombing Mexico?
