Did I miss a Declaration of War? (vanity)

Posted on 03/19/2011 4:02:39 PM PDT by Leaning Right

I just watched the news. US ships are firing at Libya. I was out fishing this morning, so I missed the early reports. Did we declare war on Libya? Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution grants Congress the exclusive power to declare war, so that's what happened...right?

No matter the reasoning that liberals will try to justify the US intervention into Libya, the fact remains that their cherished "once-in-a-lifetime" President Obama started a third war in Arab lands by launching a hundred million dollars worth of cruise missiles at Libyan civilians while he partied abroad with his entourage of Halliburton and "Big Oil" executives.

did you catch any fish?

No, but for me the joy is in the attempt, just working a stream with no human in sight.

"... This is not a war, it’s a police action."

Holy smokes, everyone! It's Robert S. MacNamara! We all thought you died in 2009!

This is an example of that New World Order thing to which we are now expected to show our allegiance.

You bet...the biggov neocons and party groupies have produced yet another total decoy and distraction, as the American economy and standard of living convulses on the floor...

Well i´m not shure that you need a declaration of War to enforce a UN resolution.

Would that be the same resolution that authorized our involvement in Iraq that the Dems clearly forgot during the eight years of Bush bashing?

This is not a war, it’s a police action.

So, we are the world's policeman?

Your your suggestion is a good one.

Kind of a no brainer...Even those drooling in cups should agree...

This is nothing but a U.N. one world order, police action, while the real war is right here, right on our borders, with the real threat to America being own bloated, all controlling and mismanaged government.

You must have slept through the Gulf War, the Iraq war, the Afghanistan invasion, Kosovo, Panama, Grenada, etc., etc.

This isn’t war. It’s the Obama 2012 Campaign.
