I don't have a problem with assisting the french, but I do have a problem with bypassing congress. Clearly it would be a bigger deal if our presses wasn't a bunch of lap dogs.

Which part? I dont agree with libya at all.. Im doubting the whole system.. How the hell can you have a regime that gives up all its wmd supports us in the war on terror then the next president comes into office and based on a what if they take out the regime and by that circumstance support our enemies.

The so called arab spring is a massive failure on this administrations watch and will taint his presidency FOREVER..

However killing jihadists any day anywhere is a posiive but This president wont come out and call a spade a spade and he=fail

Mind you I dont have a problem with this.. But Its hypocritical

So are you really. Think about it, the same people including you who were asking "where's Obama?" now complain because he got involved. Nothing will be good enough will it? He doesn't have congressional approval, there aren't enough forces, the first time a raid goes wrong it's all Obama's fault. You're just bitching and griping for the sake of it Dat, and it is so obvious.

The Constitution should be obeyed by the U.S. president.

Period.

Whether it's the First Amendment, whether it's the 2nd Amendment, whether it's anything in the Constitution.

Only the Congress may authorize war under our Constitution.

This should not be an issue between liberals and conservatives. If the president thinks we should engage in war, then he should make his case before the Congress and the American people first and receive their approval.

The war against Libya was illegal. I'm wondering if he'll engage in yet another illegal war.

Sheesh! At least Bush sought and received congressional approval before going to war in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Obviously his strategy for winning another Nobel peace prize

Remember that you are discussing a person who referred to congress as ceremonial. His arrogant disrespect of everything he comes near is obvious.

You mean apart from Pakistan, Iran, Kurdistan, Yemen, Somalia, Philippines, Syria and Mali?

Partisans will be partisans. This is the reason why America won't do dhit if the govt takes away more of our rights. Dat and socialists on that team agree on jailing people over drugs. Then libs don't care nor would they fight if the govt sought to disarm Americans.
