>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 ma gonna scare the heck out of you .. hold your cookies now ..

If you go to http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_WAR_PROTEST?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2011-03-19-18-32-15

you will see that at the bottom of the article Charlie Rangel says:

U.S. Rep. Charles Rangel , D-N.Y., joined the protesters, saying he was angry that Congress was not consulted before the military strikes. He said he was undecided on whether the military action against Libya was justified.

“Our presidents seem to believe that all we have to do is go to the U.N. and we go to war,” Rangel said as a large television behind him at the recruiting station showed an advertisement for the Air Force with crews loading missiles onto fighter jets.

“Going to war is not a decision that presidents should make,” he added.

When I saw the situation I said the same thing as you .. then I realized I actually agreed with Rangel .. after taking a shower to get the nasty feeling off, and puking, I checked the temperature in hell ...

Rangel saw heavy combat in Korea and was decorated for his actions there.

I would not let Rangel oversee a nickel of the public's money, and he probably should be in jail. But when it comes to matters of war, he is someone who knows what he's talking about.
