Months of Debate and a Joint Authorization from Congress...

[mal]

And the Left was still Calling Iraq "Unconstitutional" and everything else from Vietnam to Nazism...

And even Today, the Lefties who are going after Barry for Libya aren't being Honest when they say this is what Booooosh did.

Barry didn't take it to Congress nor did he get a Joint Authorization for this 3rd War... At least Dubya did... And waited and waited for Saddam's friends in France to hold up the Job for him.

One more thing... the UN ain't the Boss of us, People...



peace...

People totally forgot the corruption of Oil for Food (Which was really, Oil for UN security Council votes), which we would never have found out about if not for the removal of Saddam.

Bush went to Congress to authorize an invasion force of 100,000+

Some people never Knew because the "Free Press" wasn't about to paint anything Positive about Junior Bacon Bush and his 8 years of Dictatorship...

if you read a little deeper on that, the CIA WAS WELL AWARE of the oil for food scam that was going on....they just turned a blind eye and let it happen.... if memory serves.

No, not really. Frankly, I don't care if I get taken out by a Tomahawk or an grunt with an M-16. Dead is dead.

BULLSHIT!

I'm sorry, but WTF is the point? I mean besides wasting money we do not have? What is the strategery? What is the hopeful outcome? Who the hell are we to shoot at a sovereign nation? Libya posed NO direct threat to the US. Everyone against the Iraq invasion and occupation used these same "rules" as to why we shouldn't have been there. RW, if you cannot call bullshit on this one, then perhaps you are not as Independent as I once thought?

It is not required. Authorizing a cruise missle attack/bombing is well within the authority of the Commander in Chief. Some things can't wait weeks for Congress to posture and pontificate

See Reagan, Clinton, Nixon

The French were attempting to stall us for Obvious Reasons...

Let's not look to Blame us, the US, even more for trying to put an end to the Various Issue that were Saddam while our "Allies" were looking to cover for him and themselves.

and the purpose of launching these missles without the authorization from Congress was ------?
To "protect" Libyan rebels or to protect the worlds oil supply.

( I'm still not seeing how the oil supply was threatened by anyone except the rebels. )

hell half the world was getting kickbacks---why back the US when they were going to mess up everyone's corruption. Sweet deal to get kickbacks while the US was in charge of the UN no fly resolutions.

Actually, one corrupt CIA official was in on it. The general population of the CIA didn't know.

A little more accurate, alot more detailed and less biased source here, than the Guardian. Oil-for-Food Programme - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

And the original point remains unscathed: We would have never known about the fraud, corruption and abuse, had we not removed Saddam as the law of the land since 1998, called for.

Exposing and ending the corruption of Oil for Food justifies the Iraq action, all by itself IMO.
