obama/libya
i do not agree with this at all.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110615/...us/us_us_libya White House defends legality of Libya mission WASHINGTON – Pushing back against congressional criticism, the White House said Wednesday that President Barack Obama has the authority to continue U.S. military action in Libya even without authorization from lawmakers on Capitol Hill. In a detailed, 30-page report being sent to Congress, the administration will argue that the U.S. has a limited, support role in the NATO-led bombing campaign in Libya. Because U.S. forces are not engaged in sustained fighting and there are no troops on the ground there, the White House will say the president is within his constitutional rights to direct the mission on his own. The administration's defense of the Libya mission comes in response to a non-binding House resolution passed earlier this month that chastised Obama for failing to provide a "compelling rationale" for U.S. involvement in Libya. the hell with not giving compelling rationale to congress, he hasn't given that to anyone! certainly not to those who will be stuck with the bill.

It was a terrible decision. There's no moral reason to be in Libya and not be in Syria. Either we intervene to prevent dictators from killing their own people or we don't. Assad is just as bad as Gadhafi in that regard.

If we get involved in Syria, then we must in Yemen and a couple other Arab countries...becomes instantly messy. I want to see these peoples become free but our involvement militarily isn't the answer. We should drop out of Libya and avoid involvement in the others. Time to totally withdraw from Iraq too.

i have yet to see a single compelling reason to be there. no explanation, no talk about it-the president has been completely silent on this issue. i think he has overstepped his bounds on this. even if he had a valid reason, which you'd have to think he doesn't, or he'd have mentioned it by now-there are rules even he is supposed to follow. the reasoning that we aren't involved enough to call it a military action is disingenuous at best.

Don't tap the glass. Obama just jumped the shark.
 To try and justify US troops fighting under the NATO banner instead of the American Flag as though it were somehow superior and thus legal, the day after flag day???
