Where in this letter does Obama provide the authorization to attack a sovereign nation in direct violation of the US Constitution and the War Powers Act??

Impeach his ass.

Right there in the signature block where it says (.)bama. Afterall, anyone with the power to declare laws unconstitutional equally has the power to declare war. The letter was just sent over to his fawns on the Hill for his amusement.

True, but why is the milk toast speaker not on the house floor demanding a vote to cut off funding. And forming an impeachment committee.

According to the War Resolution Act of 1973, the president has 48 hours to notify the Congress after committing troops to military action. If Congress doesn’t authorize the military action, then the president can keep the military force in the area of action for 90 days. (60 days for action, 30 days to withdraw)

authorized by the United Nations (U.N.) Security Council and undertaken with the support of European allies and Arab partners, to prevent a humanitarian catastrophe and address the threat posed to international peace and security by the crisis in Libya.

Wonderful, daisy-filled reason, but unfortunately UN resolutions do not circumvent the US Constitution, no matter how much Obowma despises it.

It appears to me that 0bama has always held the notion that the UN should be in charge of all nations..that there should be a president of the world headquartered at the UN. This would then destroy the sovereignty of all nations which goes along with his pronouncement that no nation is better than another except in regard to wealth and in that matter we the USA will have to carry the lions share of the burden to help the other third world nations ( can we say Kenya) achieve a better standard of living and by happenstance we will then have our standard of lowered..too bad so sad for the USA...Oh and like Clinton, he fashions himself as President of the World...

On his show last night Judge Napalitano insisted that the war is unconstitutional.

This ‘letter’ which doesn’t even have Obama’s signature on it, is missing a time stamp. When was it issued?

Allow me to translate the following gibberish into English:

"At approximately 3:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time, on March 19, 2011, at my direction, U.S. military forces commenced operations to assist an international effort authorized by the United Nations (U.N.) Security Council and undertaken with the support of European allies and Arab partners, to prevent a humanitarian catastrophe and address the threat posed to international peace and security by the crisis in Libya. As part of the multilateral response authorized under U.N. Security Council Resolution 1973, U.S. military forces, under the command of Commander, U.S. Africa Command, began a series of strikes against air defense systems and military airfields for the purposes of preparing a no-fly zone. These strikes will be limited in their nature, duration, and scope. Their purpose is to support an international coalition as it takes all necessary measures to enforce the terms of U.N. Security Council Resolution 1973. These limited U.S. actions will set the stage for further action by other coalition partners."

The real problem here is Obama’s ideology is that military force should only be applied to avert a significant humanitarian crisis; and then ONLY with the blessing of a coalition of nations.

When Americans are killed at random by terrorists, Obama does not believe that military force should be used in retaliation. To him this is not a significant humanitarian crisis.

This is why many Americans are likely to die under Obama, because the rest of the maniacal tyrants/terrorists in the world know this too.

Obama’s strategy is simply to “absorb” the attack. He has stated that. It is easy to say things like that when you have 24x7 security from the Secret Service. I guess it will be us peasants that will die in airplanes when they are shot down or blown up, or when the Islamic militant opens up with an AK in the local shopping mall.

Obama will do nothing.
