Obama attempting to declare drone attacks as non-hostile

It's clearly an act of war.

Why it hasn't gone to Congress and received funding already I don't understand.

The cost of operations in Libya is a rounding error compared to the amount of money lost, stolen, and wasted in Iraq and Afghanistan. If we can get Gadhaffi dead while .EU nations pick up most (or at least some!) of the tab, then it sounds like a great deal to me. The button pushers in the AF and Navy didn't have any good targets to blow up since '03, let them get their reaper and tomahawk on.

H.

Would it be hostilities if a belligerent nation flew a drone over DC and unloaded on the mall? How about if they just passively launched an ICBM. Obama's "not engaged in hostilities" fails the smell test.

I thought, on this forum, we were not supposed to ask what if this were happening to our country. That kind of thinking is equated with being liberal and anti-American. We are only supposed to ask if we can kill more foreign people, since that is the "conservative" response.


Spyder, I think Obami would have to have a problem with it because there are enough of us Americans that would force him and Congress to respond accordingly.

He's over due, violating law, and congress isn't sending him to the gallows? Since when did congress allow a president to defy them? I clearly remember reading in History class that congress is the only body in this country that can declare war, and thanks to the post-Vietnam legislation the Pres. can only engage in hostilities for 60-days. Congress: WAKE UP!

Justice Department lawyers and Pentagon lawyers have advised the President that the Libya military action is in violation of the War Powers Resolution, so has much of Congress...but the President is going ahead anyway. $800 million spent so far...doesn't seem like limited involvement to me. Bama is wrong.

What really fries me is that his supporters still support him even though he is doing the opposite of what he promised them. He said he was going to end the wars but all he has done is get involved in another. What kind of CRAZY people continue to blindly support a guy who constantly and openly lies to them? And that's who we are up against to save our country...crazy people. Can't reason with crazy people.

If he is going to drop bombs I sure wish it was one of the great big ones.

True, but the exception is that most- I'd venture to even say 80%- are just laying there on their belly with their legs secured and ready to take it just like in the showers at San Quentin... no one is really resisting or saying anything about this political sodomy that Barry is committing... big problem in this soldier's eyes and we need to wake the f*** up!

We're just launching "love missiles" at the Libyans...

Further head butting continues and it may mean the end of NATO... Well we're pretty much screwed either way I guess. But this could mean that congress will put Obama on the spot for breaking the law, but doubtful much will come of it because he'll hide behind some stupid legal jargon and claim that it's not a breach of law.
