Can someone please explain this to me?
   
I'm a bit confused, with Boehner's comments yesterday about Obama not alerting Congress of the military actions, and with Kucinich's statement about impeachment. If this is a UN sanctioned action, does Obama really have to run anything by Congress?

Hell Bush ran his plan by congress and you goons still said it was an illegal war.

3. Obama HAS notified Congress via a letter
   
within the 48 hour time frame, which he is required to do pursuant The War Powers Resolution of 1973.

See here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.ph...

   

I'm sure if Bush had just sent a letter, you would have been fine with that.
Oh wait he went to congress and they voted to allow him to proceed and you idiots still said it was illegal.

Obama is a Democrat.  He can get away with bombing foreign countries on his authority as CiC. It's only Republican presidents that must get Congressional approval and voter approval first.   ::) ::)

Just out of curiosity, I don't watch the networks anymore, if anyone does can they tell me what their take was on this? did they bring up Kucinich? did they bring up a Bush comparison?

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

If he sent that letter by USPS, congress might get it next week.

100% voter approval. Nothing less will do.

BTW Bush received TWO Use of Force Resolutions. A second one was demanded by Hillary and the other senate donks so they could appear to be tough on foreign policies prior to the election of 2004. However, by the election of 04, the democratics were out saying that the Use of Force Resolutions were not really Use of Force Resolutions.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

Yeah that was a neat little trick the Dems tried. They voted to allow Bush to take action, then complained when he did.
The whole Bush lied meme is bullshit too, first of all the claim never was that Saddam had WMDs, it was that he was working to acquire them and we needed to stop him before he had them. I heard with my own ears what he and his administration were saying before we dropped the first bomb.
Secondly everyone in the intelligence world, and damn near ever govt on the planet all said that Saddam was working on WMDs. They act like Bush pulled the WMD argument out of his ass. In fact the big Dawg himself had claimed the same thing and even took an action or two based on that premise.

That's how liberals and DUmmies speak. They use double speak to get "around" the truth.
