I read on another thread that he had "spoken to congressional leaders" the other day, but they were not named, nor was there a citation for that information.
McMouthpiece McCain and Linda Graham approve. They’re the only ones that matter.
Any pompous pronouncements from John F’ing Kerry yet ?

§ 1542. Consultation; initial and regular consultations
The President in every possible instance shall consult with Congress before introducing United States Armed Forces into hostilities or into situations where imminent involvement in hostilities is clearly indicated by the circumstances, and after every such introduction shall consult regularly with the Congress until United States Armed Forces are no longer engaged in hostilities or have been removed from such situations.
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.
President Bush did not do a terrible job of communicating the reason for and progress in that war.
The enemedia did however do a terrible job of communicating the reason for and progress in that war...purposely and with malicious intent. Unfortunately, much of the info is not found in the archives.
Thanks. I’ll continue to ignore or do the exact opposite of anything that thing has to say.
More of that Lib group think.....I remember John Kerry saying something about seeking agreement internationally before going to war...
Good post.
I merely expressed my opinion. It was not based on what media did or did not tell me; it is based on what I heard when Bush spoke himself.
Back at you Barry...
"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 Barry and other NWO commu-facists in this regime to shove their own ideological agendas down our throats, irrespective of the costs in lives lost and in hardships borne” while bypassing Congress.
FUBO!
0bama is perfectly clear who and what this is against. What it is in favor of, however, is conveniently vague. Who are we helping? What is their agenda? If we don't know this by the time the shooting starts we're already in too deeply. We saw a similar lack of deliberation when the progressives spent so much moral capital demonizing the Shah and simply assuming that anything that would follow after would inevitably be an improvement. It wasn't. We saw it with respect to Cuba, to Vietnam, to Bosnia, to Zimbabwe and Uganda. They don't learn because they aren't thinking, they're feeling their way through life.
We saw it in Bush Sr, whose need to maintain a coalition led us to cease fire in Iraq too soon. We saw it in his son, who wasted 14 months attempting to obtain UN approval for his own actions and paid when that proved enough time for Saddam to cover his tracks. It isn't restricted to party; it is restricted to internationalists whose allegiance is to something nobler and greater than nationalism but whose blind spots are commensurately expanded. The upshot is that people who are volubly in favor of peace and love and harmony are perfectly willing to kill other people who are insufficiently utopian.
Worst of all, we simply do not have a strategic objective in this thing: neither to eliminate an extant threat nor to advance any U.S. interests. We're doing it because it makes 0bama and his little coterie of internationalists look and feel good. And that simply is not an adequate reason to kill people.
Bears repeating.
“Congress is MIA as usual”
There is the understatement of the year.
Good old Denny K...he is opposed to his own shadow. I'm off to see if there are any real republicans or conservatives commenting on this recent development.
Let us know what you find.
“Since when does the UN authorize the US to go to war?”
Since November 2008 (actually January 2009) why?
2012 Can’t come soon enough.
