To fall under the War Powers Resolution (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?284330-War-Powers-Resolution), he had to make it a National Security issue so that the action was lawful...

To summarize, the argument goes something like this: Gadhafi quells the rebellion, causing Libyans to flee to other countries like Egpyt, causing unspecified "instability" that would in turn cause damage to unspecified national security interests of the U.S. Therefore we can't let Gadhafi quell the rebellion. How many members of Congress or the public is that going to convince?

For good measure, I would have preferred that they play up the "2 tons of Mustard Gas" and "Lockerbie Bombing" angle and say that Gadhafi is a terrorist to really get a solid coalition of the entire Congress behind it.

Wonder when we're going to see signs "Obama lied, people died". What a fucking load of bullshit. Threat my ass.

Talk about trying to justify it in the rear view mirror!

LOL! If that happened he'd call them refugees and charter them a boat! Is he changing his position on this across the board or do Libyans have a particular type of cooties only to be found in Libya?

Well of course he will.

In other news,,the price per barrel of oil has gone up $2 since the bombing started.
And the folks on Wall Street are making lots of money.

... and shooting a 100 million dollar missiles into a country doesn't cause people to leave....?

this whole line of thought raises more questions than it answers....

President Obama is making the case for the war in an open letter to the speaker of the House and the president of the Senate.

OK, this is not funny. I'm going to contact my rep and Senators and make sure they can't pretend they don't know what I, at least, think of this.

At least Bush lied up a somewhat credible reason to go in, this is the sort of thing you'd get if you asked a teenager who didn't do his homework.
