The 60-Day Mark In Libya

[JBeukema]

Within sixty calendar days after a report is submitted or is required to be submitted pursuant to section 4(a)(1), whichever is earlier, the President shall terminate any use of United States Armed Forces with respect to which such report was submitted (or required to be submitted), unless the Congress (1) has declared war or has enacted a specific authorization for such use of United States Armed Forces, (2) has extended by law such sixty-day period, or (3) is physically unable to meet as a result of an armed attack upon the United States.

But the problem (as I see it) is that The President isn't using the Armed Forces, the UN is.

How do we solve that problem and who has the balls to confront "Dear Reader" about it? I have no faith that the current Republicans in Congress will do or say anything.

Predator Drones are known as "armed forces".

We also have Marines in Greece and Camp Legeune getting ready for the inevitable ground invasion.
Check that, they're already on their way:

The UN is a huge joke.
