To the Shores of Tripolli

Funny...

"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." ~ Senator Obama

Under the War Powers Act, he's got 90 days to get Congressional approval pf enforcing the No-Fly Zone.. The War Powers Act was amended once the US Senate ratified the UN Charter.

It's not missed that the action in Libya is 8 years TO THE DAY that Coalition forces began bombing Iraq.

Meanwhile, the situations in Bahrain [Bahrain's opposition is asking for UN and American intervention in the government's crackdown on Shiite protests against the Sunni] and Saudi Arabia are much more relevant to the interests of the United States -- and the generals have spoken up about these issues. No one wants to be involved in this Libyan Civil War, but here we are.

Let's make it more clear. Libya is the OJ Simpson of the world nations. Everyone knows they did it, and everyone secretly or openly hates Quadaffy. He's got staying power and has dodged a lot of bullets and axes... And there he is sitting at the best table at Bastide staring at everyone. He knows what he did, and everyone looking at him knows what he did. Doesn't change the fact that he's enjoying a blended Merlot.

Right now is Quadaffy's Vegas moment where OJ went in, guns ab-lazing to get his memorabilia back. And now everyone's trying extra hard to get a conviction.

PS, Mr. Obama is 29-3 in his bracket picks over the first two days.
