"oh so you are one of those that think we should treat these american murderers who are noncitizens under the court of law? "

More straw man arguments from the guy who specializes in fallacious arguments. I guess it shouldn't be surprising.

Did Osama bin Laden just get convicted in a court of law, or was he killed? I'm pretty sure he was killed.

Why is that different from the ridiculousness that's currently going on Libya? CONGRESSIONAL AUTHORIZATION.

If you want to engage a foreign sovereign using military force, then you better per US law and the Constitution, get yourself either a declaration of war or a Congressional authorization for the military use of force.

You have yet to demonstrate where that is for Gaddafi.

yeah it would take about a day to get the wimps in line to support the action.

but I guess you missed truman’s, Ike’s JFK, LBJ Nixon, Carter, Reagan, bush, Clinton, bush and Obama’s actions without congressional approval and no declaration of war.

You'd have better luck trying to nail jello to the wall as win this argument. I agree with you about Libya, by the way, which might be the first time I remember ever agreeing with you. Good luck.
