With no debate and no objective, Obama enters a war

There wasn’t even a rush to war, only blitzkrieg!

[bigbob]

Looked over at the DUmp and it seems that Cindy Sheehan is throwing a shite fit over this. Even the DUmmies can’t stand her.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

George W. Bush made him do it.

The UN charter prohibits action by the UN to overthrow the government of a member nation. This action seems to be intended to restrict the response by a member nation against a political faction engaged in violent insurrection.
It doesn’t smell right and I haven’t sorted it out.
One issue that bothers me is the taking of substantial action due solely to UN instructions/resolutions/agreements without consulting Congress. This sets a precedence that weakens protective barriers against implementing UN instructions/resolutions/agreements that would apply inside the US.
I haven’t sorted out this one either and it REALLY smells bad.
One concern is the usual UN firearms restriction proposals that are now enhanced as the office of the president now displays fealty to the UN without concern for US institutions.

I knew something like this would happen with Ojerko making most of his own decisions since David Axelrod is on leave to prepare for the next election.

Axelrod was the words behind the teleprompter.

did nobama consult the foreign policy expert, biden? Maybe nobama spoke to the world’s smartest woman, h clintoon? Possibly, valery jarrett caught his ear? Apparently, the Pentagon brass didn’t want this. Now nobama, the war criminal and rejecter of the Constitution, has his war. nobama probably hopes everyone will forget how he has failed in everything from the deficit, the Volt (Dolt), unemployment, rising gas prices, rising inflation, housing failure and on and on. This is one EPIC FAIL presidency. EPIC!

Mr. Hussein Obama will justify his little war by hiding behind the French, who are leading this action. He'll claim that he's merely assisting an ally, and that he's enforcing a U.N. mandate. You remember that Constitutional clause regarding the U.N. don't you? Oops, there was no U.N. back then. My bad. I guess he's just being the arrogant ass that he's always been. When has this despot, (Obama, not Khadaffy), ever acted on a consensus with the American people. Most Americans are white and Christian, the two things he hates the most, (they cling to their religion and their guns"). Capitalism is the third, the Constitution is the fourth.

By destroying the tyrant Khaddafy, Obama helps Moslem extremists take control of Libya. Can there really be any doubt that our President is a Moslem? Didn't he defund NASA, lay off 5,000 employees, and force them to become an official platform to announce that Islam has contributed to mankind great mathematical minds that have made NASA possible? Didn't he bow low to the Saudi King? His being raised in a Moslem nation, and having two fathers', both Muslim, and an entire Muslim family clan in Kenya has absolutely endeared his heart to Mohammed, and "allah".

FLASHBACK TO OBAMA'S CAMPAIGN:

Question: In what circumstances, if any, would the president have constitutional authority to bomb Iran without seeking a use-of-force authorization from Congress? (Specifically, what about the strategic bombing of suspected nuclear sites -- a situation that does not involve stopping an IMMINENT threat?)

Obama:"The President does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation.

As Commander-in-Chief, the President does have a duty to protect and defend the United States. In instances of self-defense, the President would be within his constitutional authority to act before advising Congress or seeking its consent. History has shown us time and again, however, that military action is most successful when it is authorized and supported by the Legislative branch. It is always preferable to have the informed consent of Congress prior to any military action."

[ExSES]

At once presumptuous and flippant, President Obama used a Saturday audio recording from Brazil to inform Americans he had authorized a third war -- a war in which America's role is unclear and the stated objectives are muddled.

I sincerely hope that I am wrong but..., could he have been sucked in by the (obviously) fickle urging of the "Arab League"? Face it, we have an obvious amateur at the helm...?

[OrioleFan]

I am reminded of Mulligan in Kelly’s heros. The alarm goes off (in this case the French shoot down a Libyan fighter jet and shoot up a couple of tanks), and Obama sits up in his lounge chair on the beach at Rio and hollars, “Fire!”

Meanwhile Mexican Automatic Weapons extradition charges are pending!

In breaking neuws:
Ukraine requested UN to remove Oblablah from the office of Present, impose no flies zone and protect hapless Americans from the imposter kenyan/indonesian tyrant.
Boozemissiles were already launched, smellphones were disrupted by large consumation of Obolon beer and Canadian air farce is flooding over the frozen lake Okeeechobe.
Recycling despots are overwhelmend by the amount of empties.
White Hut is worried about the destiny of the Mooochelllee White Garden and cabbage heads, soooo much sheeeet could be wasted.
Developing on Grudge.... staaand buy

FOXnews is going to toilett, Whorealdo, Juan..... can stomach it.
Thank and God Bless FR!

The dictator SOB must really feel powerful now, he seriously subverts the constitution three times and there are still no articles of impeachment. I wonder how the secret service agents and our elected officials in DC can live with themselves as they continue to protect this a-hole.

[Candor7]

Where were you three days ago? Buahahahahahaa!

[kingattax]

neither will his judgement know any bounds

[UniqueViews]

“By destroying the tyrant Khaddafy, Obama helps Moslem extremists take control of Libya.”

Bingo!

[Paleo Conservative]

But isn’t that how Obama does everything?

[mlocher]

This is like a family feud!

All this because Qadaffi cut Obama out of the will.
