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?

It's OK, I'm sure Khaddafi and the serbs we bombed for no good reason back when another communist POS POTUS was trying to up his approval ratings will return the favor when we least expect it.

Killing people for no good reason can have serious consequences.

An impostor that DOES NOT NEED A VALID BIRTH CERTIFICATE
who took over the DOJ to deliver injustice, untruth and
inequality, hardly needs lawful Congressional approval
for his TYRANNY. Every Congressperson should be
removed for their failure to impeach.

I doubt very much that you'd find Barack out fishing!

This is no different than helping Haiti. People are dying and we are doing what we need to do to stem that.

Oh, but we’re not putting any boots on the ground, this is the 35,000 ft AGL air war against Yugoslavia redux except with more missiles and oil booty to the victors

A chatty very smart Congressman emerged from Top Secret briefings to tell the world that, and gave Qadaffi some measure of peace

” I doubt very much that you’d find Barack out fishing! “

I’d bet that he would, if he could find someone to put those icky worms on the hook....

But let me add a question. Where in the hell were we when they were being cut up by the tens of thousands in Africa?

Code Pink and Justin Raimondo says war is OK and that Democrats need not even consult Congress.

How 1776-1941 of you.

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.
