The U.S. is not at war with Libya and has not taken sides, but President Obama nevertheless has signed off on the use of armed predator drones in the North African nation that has been torn by a weeks-old bloody conflict, Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Thursday.

Congress is over in the corner sitting and shivering in their own urine - afraid, very afraid.

Hold on.
The Iraq action was sanctioned by the UN and backed up by 17 resolutions. And sanctioned by Congress.
This is not Iraq, it is a perversion of the UN resolution and unlawful.

Congress is on recess. All scattered to the winds on junkets around the world at our expense.
And the War came .....
He’s just practicing before using them in country - our country.
