It’s Obama’s illegal war against Libya.
(Well, it's what the liberals claimed about Bush)
Please remind everyone that Saddam was under a cease fire when we knocked doen his door.
No Blood For Oil!!!! I wonder how well that will go down with the Lefties?
I cannot wait to see the next approval poll on this idiot.
MARCH 19, 2011
OBAMA: ‘Today we are part of a broad coalition. We are answering the calls of a threatened people. And we are acting in the interests of the United States and the world’...
MARCH 19, 2003
BUSH: ‘American and coalition forces are in the early stages of military operations to disarm Iraq, to free its people and to defend the world from grave danger...
This is the Republican's chance to kill obamacare. Using the war powers act, attach such obamacare death measure to Congressional authorization.
Where is Code Pink? where is Cindy Sheehan? hmmmmmmmm bet Rev Wright is spitting nails
Obama says there will be NO boots on the ground...hold him to his words...ooooops he also said he would close Gitmo, bring the troops home from Iraq alot sooner and so on and so on...he has such a “transparent” administration
When one is emperor, one doesn’t need Congress.
An overseas Contingency Operation NATO and the UN with Hill with a fresh facelift and Obama can do whatever the hell they want. Even Leno can joke about Obama golfing and vacationing and declaring war and the media will spin it for him and some new crisis will erupt and Obama will show up with Unity in Diversity signs that is the same campaign for the new world currency. All of this will be forgotten when the media say Obama is great in saving us all by introing NWO.
Simply an escalation of congress denied. Congress shirked it’s Constitutional duty when voting for “authorization of use of force,” in the past. Congress is bound by the Constitution to declare war. Obama’s current action, sidestepping congress completely, is merely another incremental step in the process. By the time Obama is done, this will be precedent for future Presidents.
If we do not insist Congress honor, and enforce, it’s Constitutional duty, to declare war, refusing to allow the President to engage our troops at will, well, then, we get what our taxes paid for.
You only need Congressional approval if the President is a Republican.
My trophy wife and I watched Whorealdo last night for a few minutes on FOX and Whorealdo seemed ready to climax over what his beloved 0b0z0 had done.
Then after a few minutes of Fox this morning, my intelligent and long memory possessing Trophy Wife asked how many countries were backing this bombing versus GW’s Iraq situation.
When I told her 5 countries for this versus over 40 for GW, she just shook her head.
On another thread, just a nobody, posted a great reply and links to show the difference between this war and GW’s war against Iraq.

Wow...how times sure have changed. Now 5 countries make up a coalition? They along with a single UN resolution and no Congressional approval now constitutes a legitimate declaration of war on a country? A sovereign nation that has not threatened us nor harbored those who would do us harm, nor have launched a war of aggression against their neighbors, nor do they possess or plan on making WMD and have not violated more than a dozen UN resolutions? This is what passes for a legal war these days?
From an article Saturday, March 19, 2011 7:05 pm:
In a joint statement to Gadhafi late Friday, the United States, Britain and France — backed by unspecified Arab countries...
Yeah, unspecified because they do not exist, but hey, the “coalition” is hoping some of them will join them.
According to this website there were 52 countries in the Coalition of the Willing in March-April 2003, 15 of which provided boots on the ground. In March 2004 there were 53 countries with 34 providing troops.
17 UN resolutions were promptly ignored by Iraq along with harboring of known terrorists, large payments to suicide bombers, known terrorist training camps, WMD and its use on their citizens, over a year of warnings and a Congressional Joint Resolution to Authorize the Use of United States Armed Forces Against Iraq and all of these led to an illegal, immoral, war of choice and agression by President George W. Bush.
But this fiasco? All is well in Barry’s World. [BARF!]

Kucinich calling for Obama’s impeachment for no congressional authorization.
Fat chance.
