How sensationalistic of you to title it this way and cherry pick your quotes to support it. This was not the Department of Justice, or the Pentagon speaking as whole bodies, they are Jeh C. Johnson, the Pentagon general counsel, and Caroline D. Krass, the acting head of the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel.

Well yeah but it didn't fit in the headline. You know... limit of words. So I ``generalized it`` ... and thought that people would read the article and get the details.

Funny, the three people that posted the same story after you did, managed to minimize it.


A more accurate title would have been along the lines of... Obama favors administration legal advice over The Office of Legal Counsel on Libya. Still has your slant even.

Because such a misconstruing of events serves their clearly partisan interests as they hide behind their pseudo-libertarian pretenses.

This shows that Eric Holder and some of the other lower level functionaries maybe aren't in the loop with the "big boys" who are really making the decisions. Maybe only the Obama's themselves are in that loop, no way to know unless you were privvy to that small company. Eric, mind your manners and sit down.

Whew. I thought you had taken complete leave.

The whole point here, at least as I read it, is that many people keep telling him that he needs to pull out of Libya. Not just because they feel it's illegal, but because it's wrong.

Hell, let's say it's legal. The problem here is that he has authorized an attack on a country that has not attacked us. And he gets his back up about it every time someone says we need to leave them alone. He can't seem to admit that while he feels he had authorization to do it, he should never have done it in the first place.

/TOA


My take on it is, "people" who have something to gain by taking a stance against the President keep telling him he needs to pull out of Libya.

Why does it keep seemingly to be forgotten that this is a NATO mission, that we were asked for help by the UN based on Ghaddafi's actions of slaughtering Libyans because they want him to step down? This was not some random attack on a leader or a nation just because Obama felt like it.



Got to disagree. obama could have waited the couple days or how ever long it took for congress to come back from break or call a special session. What was the "big" rush? Instead, he took his marching orders from nato, obama seems to of forgotten that the US don't take orders from them or at least we didn't.

OK, so obama hasn't technically done anything illegal On This Issue yet, but he had better figure out a game plan before Sunday, that's when the 30 day extension is up, because it will be. Funny how close Clinton got to impeachment, over a couple women. But no talk of it at all with Obama.

and don't blame the OP for a sensationalist title.

Oh and this did not start as a NATO mission kali. Obama usurped our sovereignty to the U.N in order to get things moving. this was a concerted effort by two powers. then we "stopped" but now it seems that NATO cannot maintain the manpower nor the equipment to see this through, thus we are back in it. Cant claim to have a good military if penny-pinchers run it.

So let me get this straight. Say we spin this the other way around and someone like China were to roll up off our west coast and just casually started launching missiles at us daily, even one that hit Obama's family but spared him, it wouldn't be seen as hostilities? There isn't a chance in hell that would ever be acceptable, so how can they construe what they're doing as not being hostile?

nice comparison.

Thats because they told so many lies, that now nothing adds up. So they are basically calling us stupid to our faces as we sit here and take it.

You REALLY might want to research even a little bit the relationship between the UN and the US for the past fifty years before making such asinine statements.

Good point. We should have invaded SAUDI ARABIA since that is where the alleged pilots came from. But we didnt because Bush and the Saudi's are tight. o we invaded Afghanistan to control the opium trade and get our hands on that massive supply of all kinds of natural resources.

Kinda like how hitler decided all his lackeys legal opinions, that agreed with him killing people, were correct..

Millions of innocent folks are dead, or suffering.. or living under armed occupation of foreigners, and or being DU poisoned.. all because a handful of people say it's "ok".. just like how an other political party (Germany 1930s national socialists) justified unapologetic military death & destruction.. as 1930 Germans brainwashed by nationalism lived in denial.

yeah, nothing like trying to Compare Obama to Hitler to make any point you might make completely irrelevant.

Familiar with Godwin's law?

Thats correct!..lol.. obmaos argument means 9/11 wasn't an act of hostility..

If US soil gets bombed and innocent citizens are killed.. who would care if it was declared "legal" by foreigners?.. "China said it was legal non hostile act to bomb the US regimes compound.."..lmao!!

bush/obamaos actions are similar.. like it or not.. the justifications and propaganda are even much the same... denounce pacifists as unpatriotic.

Did Germany launch unprovoked war / occupations against numerous other nations?.. yes or no?

Nazi peoples courts are not like military tribunals?.. the Nazi enabling act is not a reflection of the patriot act?..

"Verschärfte Vernehmung", is German for "enhanced interrogation".. straight from the Gestapo methods of examination..

Why the Nazi's and not any one of the myriad and varied military regimes around the world throughout history? Because you've been programmed to believe that the Nazi's are the only example of this ever.

Hell, compare it to 18th century America. That was FAR more brutal than your examples.
