BEAUTIFUL! Rand Paul clearly presented why we shouldn't be at war with Libya. The President did not follow the Constitution and did not consult Congress.There was no imminent threat to the U.S. We are going to spend a lot of money and will be putting the cost of this war on a credit card. And, we really don't know who it is we are representing in Libya.
I thought Obama's speech was well delivered BUT, I think Rand Paul's speech makes better sense content wise.
Leaving the tyrant alive will create a new imminent threat to the USA as the tyrant seeks revenge like he did with the airlines in the past.
This time probably he'll buy a nuclear weapon and come a calling!

Obammy made another whammy!
OK George Bush. Any other predictions? That man's navy is a bunch of row boats and their airforce consists of BB guns mounted on top of Wright Brothers 1903 planes. I don't think he was a threat.
Obama problem is he failed what he said the standard ws of a immentent national seciurity threat which he said Bush afiled to meeet. Sadam had i fact done everyhting from gasssing the krurds;puttiing don't the revolt after dessert storm ;flood the marsh to starve other Kurds. That was not acceotable to him and democrats;there had to be foud weapons of mass destruction.He failed his own test and even then never consulted congressbecause I thnik he knew what the answer would be without porving the case.
I think that was a good speech by Mr. Paul. I would vote for his Father as President if the controlling entities would allow it. Sadly, we as Americans, are given little choice in that matter.

Oh, I hope that is not true. I really think that America is now ready for one of the Pauls to be president. If not Ron; perhaps Rand?
Their libertarian philosophies of small government is just what our country is in dire need of at this time in particular. And I think more and more Americans are waking up to that fact!
Can't watch the video at work but I agree that we should not be involved in this conflict. Libya represents no threat to us or our national interests. The majority of the oil from Libya goes to China anyhow... why aren't THEY taking the lead over there instead of us.
So to clarify, we are borrowing money from China to fund operations in Libya to secure oil for China and our idiot in Chief thinks this is a great idea. Swell.
