Maybe you can classify her as a Uranian, not a Republican.<br /><br />But your points are well taken. He (Obama) is becoming more and more removed from what he campaigned on and stood for.<br /><br />The Constitutionality of his actions mostly - IMO - hinge on the "emergency" in Libya. Does this rise the to the level of necessity for the US? Did Iraq in 2003? Is it acted on according to the War Power Resolution? Barely, at best. Is the justification valid? Tissue thin and stretched to the margins at the breaking point.<br /><br />This is assuming the WPR is even constitutional, but it was passed according to the Constitutional rules and has not been challenged or been contested.<br /><br />And the disjointedness and disunity in his administration and Washington (although that's not unusual) is a problem, too. As well as the non-cohesiveness in the "allies" as well. This is a cobbled together ad-hoc mishmash, and not a well planned out campaign. But it's and "emergency", so that's justification. Right....<br /><br />But we didn't go into Iran when they had protests. And Syria. And Egypt. And China. So what with Libya? It's a small nation that can be slapped without a lot of consequences?<br />Sheesh.brucenoreply@blogger.com
