There was a UN resolution ....with NATO as the approved force....as I recall.

***************************************

REMEMBER OBAMA and his crowd are Globalists at heart and will always strive to work under some legalistic cover.....

The most useful is R2P ---Acronym as Responsibility to Protect---

There is a large PSF document on that !!!

Syria with all of the Civilian casualities would likely be construed to be under that....

Now would Gun Running to the Rebels be covered....

I think there are some UN resolutions on Syria.....

Whoops. I'm slipping. Your obviously correct.
"In a 10-0 vote (with five members abstaining), the United Nations Security Council Thursday approved an attack on Libya, urging nations the world over to use “all necessary measures” to move against the Gadhafi regime."

Not retaining stuff as I once was able.
