Did I miss a Declaration of War? (vanity)

Posted on 03/19/2011 4:02:39 PM PDT by Leaning Right

I just watched the news. US ships are firing at Libya. I was out fishing this morning, so I missed the early reports. Did we declare war on Libya? Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution grants Congress the exclusive power to declare war, so that's what happened...right?

zero announced no ground troops, but we will be part of an international coalition bringing part of the world under international law.


zero stays one half step away from legal treason.

I didn’t read it because the Dems are going to tell me what’s in it.

Don't worry. Obama's unconfirmed czars said it was okay.

The US is party to more treaties than the NATO-related ones. We are, for example, a permanent member of the UN Security Council.

Oh, I forgot to mention that when a Republican does it, there is talk of congressional hearings and impeachment motions.

This isn’t war. It’s the Obama 2012 Campaign.

Ya mean people can't figure this out on their own?

Not only is Libya a campaign event for Obama, it's an opportunity for him to play to the U.N.

Just disgusting.

As is China and the Russians. So where are they?

My concern is whether we have the capability to
replace the missiles we just wasted on Libya. They
weren’t fired defending the US from an enemy.
If we can’t replace them, we have reduced our
capacity to defend the country against an actual
enemy. Are the manufacturing facilities still in
business?

War of choice?

War for oil?

Who is in this so called coalition?

What is the exit strategy?

The list goes on....

Where are all the LSM types on this one? Crickets...

Bingo. Why buck the trend? It's only the Constitution. That thing hasn't been taken seriously by the political class since the turn of the last century.

And we only really care when the opposition party is in office.
