And they just passed the Defense Spending bill and guess what..that Libya amendment was NOT in there.
Out of $649 BILLION, only $119 billion is going to Iraq/Afghanistan.
And with Libya, that bill only prohibits the US from sending weapons and training rebels. Seems we can do all else in Libya. Congress did NOT prevent funding for Libya.
The GOP leadership in the House refused to let the bill totally defunding the Libya operation come to a vote.
They are abetting this Obama crime.
I"m sure the OP is totally unaware of this...nor does he care since "his side" is doing it.
He sure has the numbers wrong....
The majority of Democrats voted to end this at a higher percentage than the GOP did.
If Bush and Cheney were able to wiggle out of their Iraq fiasco, Obama can sit back in his rocker and laugh at the Libya-phobes.
Is there not a law that requires something of the President at 30 days, 60 days or even 90 days. I guess he has proved that once he gets us involved the Congress will make all kinds of noise but never move to take care of him.
Is it true that only the Supreme Court can make his moves illegal and they won't be back in session till October? Oh well, all those Congressers make noises about this but nothing happens.
That's ridiculous!
Not saying Iraq was all that but it wasn't an Executive decision as Libya was and there isn't any denying that.
Congress was involved in us going to Iraq, you're just denying history with that statement.
Well denying history and trying to deflect even harder. You have to remember that if they did it we can also, no matter what the differences in the two actions are.
They will bring it back up again the NEXT time a president does exactly the same thing... Obama made a HUGE error in thinking that his decision will only affect the present... sometimes people are too proud to admit mistakes and sometimes they are too short-sighted to see the faulty of their decisions with long-term consequences... unfortunately, both applies in Obama's decision and he knows it but is unwilling to do anything about it....
I think that his actions in this one are part of the whole scheme of things from the progressives and it was planned all along.
Seeing how the Congress, which includes the house and senate, refuses to strip money fromm the operation in Lybia, then I woulld have to say that any threads on here concerning Obama's ignoring congress about it is like beating adead horse. get over it repubs, you have lost the fight.
The war monger in the White House is named Samantha Power. She happens to be the wife of Cass Sunstein who is the, next to Samantha, most powerful member of the czarship. Power told Obama long ago that he should get into Libya and any other place in the Middle East he could find a necessary reason.
One really has to just look at who raise the issue and the fact that few democratas or repubulicans really want to limit the president on war power act really. Just a few ultra liberals.Loo at congresses popualrity numbers and what the giant in the room is. A Blob like creature called the ecomony/unemployment/deficit that is now interwined.When the Blob is coming few care about much else than its consuming their world.Efe the best estimates it it will a a deacde to kill and likely longer. If we fight it and not feed it.
Numbers??? Do you consider the fact that more Rs voted aye than Ds did to be something special? I'll bet you didn't even take the trouble to look at the percentages of either that voted either aye or no. You should try that sometime.
Also, I do not support the RINO who is in control in the House. He has done enough things for the Dems since January to point out what he really is. However, Ohio will be sending him back again, probably.

Congress is weak. Too busy debating gays and teleprompters.

Alert the media. You have an airtight case. Except that no US personnel are involved in the strikes nor have they been for some time.
