The president relied instead on the opinions of other senior administration lawyers that continuing U.S. participation in the air operations against the regime of Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi did not constitute "hostilities,"

If you are actively killing people and blowing people up and it is not "war", then it is murder.

To deny that we are engaged in "hostilities" is to admit that you have no legitimate basis for killing the people you are killing.

Frankly the Generals should immediately cease all activities that they would consider to be "hostilities" since neither congress nor Obama is currently authorizing them to engage in any such activities.

Excellent point.

We have to wonder why Obama has taken this stand when so many other injustices are in our faces. Was it because he thought it would be easy and it would make him look great???

Excellent and another reason why the occasional FReeper wish for a military coup to ‘correct’ America would simply make things worse.

-——then it is murder.-——

What does the grandfather of the murdered grandchildren think?

Wen an RPG takes out the black Yukon carrying the Obama girls, is that war or retribution?
