Hysterical, tortuous logic
White House on War Powers Deadline: ‘Limited’ US Role in Libya Means No Need to Get Congressional Authorization
In an effort to satisfy those arguing he needs to seek congressional authorization to continue US military activity in accordance with the War Powers Resolution, President Obama wrote a letter to congressional leaders this afternoon suggesting that the role is now so “limited” he does not need to seek congressional approval.
“Since April 4,” the president wrote, “U.S. participation has consisted of: (1) non-kinetic support to the NATO-led operation, including intelligence, logistical support, and search and rescueassistance; (2) aircraft that have assisted in the suppression and destruction of air defenses in support of the no-fly zone; and (3) since April 23, precision strikes by unmanned aerial vehicles against a limited set of clearly defined targets in support of the NATO-led coalition’s efforts.”
A senior administration official told ABC News that the letter is intended to describe “a narrow US effort that is intermittent and principally an effort to support to support the ongoing NATO-led and UN-authorized civilian support mission and no fly zone.”
“The US role is one of support,” the official said, “and the kinetic pieces of that are intermittent.”
Anyone else sick of the canard in the use of that word yet?

1 : of or relating to the motion of material bodies and the forces and energy associated therewith
We are doing something with energy. Moving bodies of things about with energy.
I think maybe we are moving these things with enough energy to KILL PEOPLE AND BREAK THINGS, which of course, is the ONLY REASON TO HAVE ARMED FORCES.
If this was George Bush, thru a mirror, a democratic party controlled house would have 3 or 4 motions to impeach before it Monday morning.
Barack Obama IS J Carter on Crack.

A commenter at Weasel Zippers stated the following:
To quote Ann Barnhardt…
“If Israel tries to defend itself against muslim aggression – which remember has been agitated by Obama himself – or defend its sovereign territory, Obama/Soros will cast these actions of Israeli self-defense and self-preservation as “human rights violations” and move in.
DO WE NOW FULLY UNDERSTAND WHAT THE PURPOSE OF THE LIBYAN ACTION WAS? It was simply to establish a precedent.”
It is no coincidence Hussein Obama called for Israel to retreat to '67 armistace lines precisely at the same time he established this precedent challenging the 1973 War Powers Act he cited when he began bombing targets in Libya.
With Germany backing Obama's push for 1967 Israel border deal,the UN is likely to follow. Should Israel attempt to defend her current borders, Germany, America and France (Sarkozy will be along any minute - as Abbas is negotiating in Paris as I write this http://tinyurl.com/69c29wx ), the OIC block – together under the UN umbrella – will assist the Muslim hoards in their endeavor to eliminate Israel.
Samantha Powers last seen drooling in anticipation . . .
