For the initial concerns, check past news stories from a great number of western countries. However, she wasn't alone in this call for extremely limited action, which was then grossly exceeded by the Obama administration, and against which she then protested.
I also don't see a peep in their about securing either a declaration of war, or authorization from Congress.
Well then I guess she's talking about the powers inherent in the presidency to use armed forces short of a declaration of war, right? You are aware such powers not only exist, but are crucial for a president to use properly in order to prevent the need for congressionally approved, open war - right?
Does she think that No Fly Zone didn't need Congressional approval?
Do you think it does? Why?
You're right - she was right there with Samntha Powers and Hilary Clinton, two other great American conservative thinkers - oh, wait.
"Well then I guess ..."
I stopped reading at "I guess". It's not a very complete "doctrine" if it leaves people to guess, now is it?
"You are aware such powers not only exist, but are crucial for a president to use properly in order to prevent the need for congressionally approved, open war - right? "
What I am aware of is the War Powers Resolution of 1973. I didn't hear Palin calling for a resolution for Libya, did you. How exactly is a no-fly zone over Libya - ""a national emergency created by attack upon the United States, its territories or possessions, or its armed forces."
I'm all ears.
"Do you think it does? Why?"
You bet I do, especially when it doesn't meet the criteria outlined in the War Powers Resolution.
