Only congress declares war. Then the time limit is imposed so there isnt a endless war.
It’s a New World Order. Didn’t you get the memo?
Liberal Democrats in uproar over Libya action (Kucinich calls for Obama's impeachment)
*snip*
Kucinich also questioned why Democratic leaders didn’t object when [alleged] President Barack Obama told them of his plan for American participation in enforcing the Libyan no-fly zone during a White House Situation Room meeting on Friday, sources told POLITICO.
And liberals fumed that Congress hadn’t been formally consulted before the attack and expressed concern that it would lead to a third U.S. war in the Muslim world.
Congress is too busy spending our money to be bothered with all that troublesome and distracting war stuff.
Well, Mc Cain is saying we need to support Obomber on this.
“Well, Mc Cain is saying we need to support Obomber on this.”
This would be the very same Obomber who was the 2009 recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize.
” In the end there is no more United States and the United Nations is left in charge”
And the prime candidate to lead the UN .....
Barry O’B or Billy C...........
It’s all part of the Soros’ funded One-World-Government, of course. The UN will be the first iteration of the world government, until supplanted by more a more ‘cooperative’ body.
Bring it...We in the hinterlands are locked and loaded.
We are dealing with a bunch of backward moslems. The deal should have been to support Mo-Am-R in return for cheap oil. There will never be any kind of democracy or freedom in any islamic country so why bother?
Yep, that be him lol.
War powers resolution 1973
From Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_Powers_Resolution
The War Powers Resolution requires the president to notify Congress within 48 hours of committing armed forces to military action and forbids armed forces from remaining for more than 60 days, with a further 30 day withdrawal period, without an authorization of the use of military force or a declaration of war.
So, has the clock started and does congress give a damn?
Since June, 1950?
I think your answer wins.
Very good questions. Ones every American should be asking their Congresscritters, I'm thinkin'.
It is not “our” money..its “their” money. That is the way they look at it.
Since one half of our fellow Americans believes in one world without borders and at least one half of the remainder do not care.
Do you remember how proud Bush Sr. was when he created a coalition that liberated Kuwait. It's been 20 years, a full generation, ago.
Everyone and his dog thinks nowadays in collectivist terms: as long as we sat down 'round table, shared our feelings, and came to a consensus --- all is well! Principles, our Constitution, the gradual submission of our courts to foreign ones --- all be d-mned 'cause we reached a consensus.
It is all about some delusional touchy-feely thing. Has someone, whether Europeans, UN, our government, even tried to tell us whom we are supporting in Libya or what kind of structure they see will emerge? The point is not whether to agree with their opinion but what is that opinion? Not a word of reasoning, but all governments are beating themselves in their populist chests, "We want to defend the pe-e-o-o-ple of Libya." Yep, all 50 tribes from each other.
I did see a point for us to be in Iraq, although I thought that Bush did a terrible job of communicating the reason for and progress in that war. But this is shear madness. I am still struggling to explain why conservatives, including Sarah Palin, would even think a second about supporting attacks on Libya. But they blame the President for not doing enough.
G-d help this country. I do think we are at the first stages of a thorough redefinition of the world, similar to the one that occurred after WW I. We may not even recognize our own country in a just a couple of years.
Since Barry said so, that's when! Get with the program or it is off to summer camp for you!
Since Barry does not want any buck to stop at his desk. If anything goes wrong, it wasn’t him.
“I don’t oppose all wars,” Obama , then a state senator, said on Oct. 2, 2002. “ ... What I am opposed to is a dumb war. What I am opposed to is a rash war. What I am opposed to is the cynical attempt by Richard Perle and Paul Wolfowitz and other armchair, weekend warriors in this administration to shove their own ideological agendas down our throats, irrespective of the costs in lives lost and in hardships borne.”
Good flashback, maggie.
We in the citys aint slackin either.
I see a UN blue helmet, I kill the man wearing it.
