Another point.. we here in FR bitched left and right that 0bama didn`t seek Congressional approval for the Libya attacks. So it would be intellectually dishonest not to hold the GOP to the same standard.

There are two different issues at play. One (1) is to wage war and two (2) is to carry out air strikes.

Go back and re-read what Romney said against what was reported by the Atlantic. The Atlantic implied something different as to what Romney said. The Romney-haters here ignored the obvious intentional distortion by the Atlantic to bash Romney. If Romney were to use the military a full air, naval, and ground attack on Iran, or a sustained air war, I would expect, that he would seek Congressional approval. However, if he were use limited air strikes, then, as Reagan did, I would expect some sort Congressional notification.

What 0bama did in Libya is not the same thing as what Reagan did. Sustained air attacks is not the same thing as a retaliation for the LeBelle disco bombing. Again, you are distorting the issue to bash Romney. Freepers bashed 0bama for being a hypocrite over the War Powers act. The 0bama administration never acknowledged it application to the situation in Libya and never sought to abide by it. That is the issue.
