Military option in Libya?

[clublights]

Speaking after the conference on Libya in London, Clinton said: "It is our interpretation that [resolution] 1973 amended or overrode the absolute prohibition of arms to anyone in Libya so that there could be legitimate transfer of arms if a country were to choose to do that. We have not made that decision at this time."

I don't..but there is probably a reason she didn't say it to the UN. I don't think that video shows the whole session.. just a little section.

They might argue that it does not lift the arms embargo, and her little plan would be shut down!

yeah I found it interesting that they used the video clips of her they did where she basically said ... well nothing . and only text quote this rather important development!

With the passage of the UN Resolution of 2005?: Ready2Protect; gives the Obama administration absolute authority to protect civilians from a despotic dictator intent on wiping out the civilian population; with immediate military retribution.

Uh, not quite. The U.N. doesn't give the President the power to conduct a war. The War Powers Resolution of 1973 does. He has two days to inform Congress, and 60 days to seek approval. The original War Powers Act restricted the power to declare war (by the U.S.) to Congress. However if I'm not mistaken in every instance Congress in turn passed another law to authorize the President for that particular instance.

U.N. approval may prevent it from being a War Crime, but let's face it, only losers need to worry about being convicted of a war crime. If you don't lose the war, you get to write the history, problem solved.
