| Liberals Freak Out After Obama Takes Military Action in Libya [SNIP] A hard-core group of liberal House Democrats is questioning the constitutionality of U.S. missile strikes against Libya, with one lawmaker raising the prospect of impeachment during a Democratic Caucus conference call on Saturday. Reps. Jerrold Nadler (N.Y.), Donna Edwards (Md.), Mike Capuano (Mass.), Dennis Kucinich (Ohio), Maxine Waters (Calif.), Rob Andrews (N.J.), Sheila Jackson Lee (Texas), Barbara Lee (Calif.) and Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D.C.) "all strongly raised objections to the constitutionality of the president's actions" during that call, said two Democratic lawmakers who took part. [/SNIP] Serious Doubts Raised About Obama's War In Libya House Speaker John Boehner released his first satement on the U.S. attacks on Libya expressing his approval for the actions taken, but demands, "the Administration must do a better job of briefing members of Congress and communicating to the American people about our mission in Libya and how it will be achieved." Below is Speaker Boehner's statement: Quote: "The United States has a moral obligation to stand with those who seek freedom from oppression and self-government for their people. It's unacceptable and outrageous for Qadhafi to attack his own people, and the violence must stop. The President is the commander-in-chief, but the Administration has a responsibility to define for the American people, the Congress, and our troops what the mission in Libya is, better explain what America's role is in achieving that mission, and make clear how it will be accomplished. Before any further military commitments are made, the Administration must do a better job of briefing members of Congress and communicating to the American people about our mission in Libya and how it will be achieved."

| You also could find ways to help besides government you know. Before we joined WWII, many Americans joined the British military and sent them money. What about starting a private movement to affect change in the middle east instead of sitting in your lazy boy saying we let it happen because our government didn't intervene?

| This is classic rightwingery - they decided ahead of time that Liberals were all going to support Obama, because that is what the Right wanted them to do in order to make the hypocrisy angle fly. Now the myth is in place and the Rightwing herd is running with it. btw, have you noticed how many conservatives here are refusing to state their own position on the ACTUAL ISSUE? You wonder why that is?? I have answered. Only your idiocy binds you from seeing it.

| Liberal Democrats In Uproar Over Libya Action This could get interesting: From Politico (Sorry it's not Fox or CNN): Liberal Democrats in uproar over Libya action - John Bresnahan and Jonathan Allen - POLITICO.com Quote: A hard-core group of liberal House Democrats is questioning the constitutionality of U.S. missile strikes against Libya, with one lawmaker raising the prospect of impeachment during a Democratic Caucus conference call on Saturday.And liberals fumed that Congress hadn’t been formally consulted before the attack and expressed concern that it would lead to a third U.S. war in the Muslim world. “They consulted the Arab League. They consulted the United Nations. They did not consult the United States Congress,” one Democrat lawmaker said of the White House. MERGED with existing thread

| Well, his legal obligation is to inform the congress about this kind of thing. But he might have figured they would read about it in the paper. |

| Ah so you're the mirror image of all these hypocrites the 'nuts here are going on and on about.

Now the myth is in place and the Rightwing herd is running with it. btw, have you noticed how many conservatives here are refusing to state their own position on the ACTUAL ISSUE? You wonder why that is?? The president is acting on behalf of our country, He has ordered our military forces into action. I will assume that action is in the national interest of my country, therefore I will support it, until there is clear and convincing evidence to the contrary, or the president violates the constitution. Until and unless that occurs, I intend to support my country, its military forces, and the Commander-in-Chief, whether I personally like him or not. Is that clear? |

| Something for our Leftwing associates to consider: Barack Obama has now been responsible for firing more cruise missiles than all other Nobel Peace prize winners combined. He’s still in 2nd place for number of Arab deaths caused (and 3rd place for Muslim deaths) behind Yassir Arafat and Mikhail Gorbachev. The PJ Tatler » Some Obama Milestones How Hopey Changey is that?!?!?
