Where was this outrage when Bush invaded Iraq, before getting Congressional approval? And how quickly people have forgotten "the coalition of the willing" that the Bush administration cobbled together. It's astounding that people could be so uninformed as to believe that using diplomatic avenues before resorting to war is an overthrow of the American government. Naturally this administration would seek international agreement before engaging in a war or invasion, considering that the rest of the world was appalled by Bush's precipitous use of force and our standing in the global community was diminished. Seriously...use a dictionary before making such a ridiculous thread title, because logically it doesn't apply here.
[quote] The debate over Iraq has prompted renewed talk about whether the president needs congressional approval to launch a military strike. His father, former president George Bush, sought a congressional resolution of support before launching the Desert Storm invasion to throw Iraqi troops out of Kuwait in 1991. [end quote]

There is a coup in progress and it must be stopped!
The day that Bush and Cheney are swinging from a gallows pole after a fair trial,that's the day I will believe in International justice....until then,it's all bullcrap.
Funny how the same people who are gunning for the current Prez. had not problem with the former Prez. for essentially the "same" thing.
Only Obama's action didn't cause the deaths of 4,000 + troops in a war that lasted over 6 years, with no clear exit plan, and trumped up evidence that got us in there in the first place.
(Hint, it rhymes with Iraq).
I'd say epic fail, but then that would be too conservative a term in this case.

RE: Obama placed on notice for High Crimes and Misdemeanors
Nothing this buffoon does surprises me. Any supporter of his ought to be royally embarrassed. Is this a model of integrity? I think not. It's bad enough that he apologized to other countries for America's success, and that, in and of itself, should be a crime.
Somehow the name Richard Nixon just popped into my head....
