I hope your right; that will make my opinion of Boehner increase significantly!!

That's my expectation. Time will tell if he meets it. Of course, all of this is contingent on a vote. Hussein may claim we'll be involved less than 60 days and therefore, the War Powers Act doesn't apply.

As I understand it, those missiles cost somewhere between 1 and 2 million apiece.

And according to the new START Treaty which the Russians wrote and Obama signed, they count against our limit on nuclear delivery systems.

RE :”(Yeah, I know some DU people are reading this thread. I see you over there. How do you like it that your Unicorn-riding President is launching hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars worth of cruise missiles at little brown people in the Third World while he's celebrating at Carnival in Rio with executive fat cats from Halliburton and big oil companies in his entourage?

Looks like the DU folks joined their hated neocons and don't care about $$$ spent on war anymore as long as they are started by Obama:
DU post :"Obama: ‘We cannot stand idly by’"

Funny how that works when they are in charge.

Hmmm, interesting, we'll see, I appreciate your well informed knowledge on the War Powers Act...

I bet it did.

I remember him showing me photos he took while he was there, when I was about 12. Serious devastation. Worse than anything the newspapers printed, at the time.

Finishing it doesn’t end with killing Qaddafi. You also have to fill the vacuum. Good luck there.

Did we learn nothing in Iraq? You break it, you own it.

Yes, I thought the international situation would present some situation that force could be used and O would capatilize on it. But to start a was then simultaneously go on vacation while people are dying......detached, at best?

Famous last words, like "We're only sending advisors to Vietnam."

Or the old "Our troops will be home from Kosovo by Christmas."
