I sent you the language of the NATO treaty.

What provision, in your mind, obligates the USA to enter into a state of war with Libya absent a Congressional authorization for such?

An attack on the USA doesn’t obviate the duty and power of Congress to declare war. Neither would an attack on a NATO member, that we are under treaty obligation to treat as an attack upon us.

Which NATO member did Libya attack again?

What provision under the NATO charter? There really are not that many to chose from. So which one?

When we sign away a right, the legal document explicitly acknowledges the right being waived. If any treaty waives the right of Congress to declare war, language to that effect should be in the treaty.
