Still waiting for the outrage

I am sure everyone remembers Obama saying that our involvement in Libya would last days, not weeks. The 60 day legal timeline for him having the military involved without Congressional approval is approaching and we are still there. What is he saying now?

The U.S. and NATO will continue military operations in Libya as long as Moammar Gadhafi keeps attacking his people, the White House said Friday as top U.S. officials met in Washington with leaders of the Libyan opposition. President Barack Obama's national security adviser, Tom Donilon, met at the White House with a delegation from the Libyan Transitional National Council, including top representative Mahmoud Jibril. While the U.S. stopped short of recognizing the Council as Libya's legitimate government, as France and Italy have done, the White House said in a statement following the meeting that the Council is a "credible interlocutor of the Libyan people."
Obama did not meet with the opposition leaders.
The meetings come as a deadline nears on the 60-day window Obama has to keep the U.S. military involved in the Libya campaign without congressional approval. While lawmakers do not appear likely to enforce the limits outlined in the War Powers Resolution, U.S. officials said they are looking for ways to keep U.S. action in Libya in compliance.


WH: Libya mission to go on until Gadhafi stops - Yahoo! News

What happens if we have a full blown constitutional crisis and no one cares?

Outrage?

Outrage over a UN endorsed NATO executed mission?
Outrage that no us soldiers have been killed?
Outrage over supporting freedom fighters resisting a hated dictator?

The real outrage is Conservatives trying to equate Libya to Iraq
No. Outrage over going to war without congressional approval. The left bitched about Bush going to Iraq even though it did sign off, but yet you defend obama's war?
Think much?

Once again. a feeble attempt to equate the Iraq invasion to the Libyan military assistance. Only the rightwing would try to call this a "war"
 
The only rightwing outrage that would be worse is if Obama had refused to assist the Libyan freedom fighters

You might want to share your great insight into the rebels, since the WH doesn't know who they are yet.

Despite financially backing the opposition, the White House says questions about who exactly the rebels are and their long-term objectives are keeping the U.S. from recognizing the Council as the legitimate Libyan government.

Apparently nation building is acceptable to today's leftists...

1/20/2009 changed everything...
Hey, regime change and nation building is all the rage nowadays......It came into fashion when "The Most Interesting Man In The World" took office.

Barack Obama:

"When I falsely accuse innocent cops without facts or evidence, and then must sit down and smooth things over, or when I change a regime and build a nation,.........I prefer Dos Equis!"

I know you long to think like a conservative, but you don't know what you are talking about.

Your username says it all....wannabe.

Why?.......What "rebels"?.......We don't even know who these "rebels" are.......For all we know, they are Al qaeda or Muslim Brotherhood backed........We have yet to hear even one idiot in this administration, too include the supreme idiot in the Oval Office, tell us who these people are........Why is that?...... BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE A FUCKING CLUE.

It's comical.

I pointed that out a few posts back. He chooses to ignore those silly facts.

From the OP:
The U.S. has stepped up its support of anti-Gadhafi rebels, with Obama authorizing $25 million in non-lethal assistance and $53 million in humanitarian aid.

...

The rebels have said they need up to $3 billion in coming months for military salaries, food, medicine and other supplies. They also say no country has sent the arms they desperately need.


...

Yeah, we're going to pump boatloads o' money and ordinance into the place, aid in killing innocent civilians, too include firing our own ordinace in and kill said innocents, but we have no clue who we're supporting.

The whole thing is a mindless clusterfuck.
