    He had none. King Hussein acted on his own. I think the real Americans in congress should have made this an issue during the debt debate.

    I hope he would not. A little shoe leather to the kisser would maybe excite some humility where none exists. Next November he will be humbled plenty when we send his worthless ass back to Chi-town.

    Congress could defund the action any time that they want.

    Guess what happened the last time such a bill was introduced? Go ahead...ask...

    Not defunding the action is a tacit authorization by Congress.

    So if we give our Presidents the authority to initiate military actions for any reason, we give them a blank checkbook to engage in war even if it's not due to a direct threat to the US, if we keep a trillion dollar military sitting around - why the (*)(*)(*)(*) are we so shocked that conflict is generated and that the military is ready and willing to go to war even war isn't declared?

    Don't like it? Disassemble the cozy relationship between the military and the industry that makes ALOT of money from war.

    And to think, Bush was accused of killing innocents in the ME. Guess Obama gets a pass since he handed over responsibility to NATO, huh?

    $4 million a day non-war. 10 more civilian deaths.

    No sign of an end to Barack's War. Wonder if he even remembers we're there?

    Side note...

    NATO strike is not the same as US strike...

    That said, neither President is guilty of setting out to kill innocents...

    I think that heard on TV news that Obama war is costing 7 billions USA $ per year or every month or was that every week to defend drug warlords in Afgahnistan?

    The only real estimate I've heard is $4 million A DAY.

    Doesn't really matter if it's only $1.1 million (cost of Obama's Deathstar Bus)...it's too much. Especially when we're bombing the wrong people and making no progress getting rid of Gadaffi.

    This cluster-(*)(*)(*)(*) is all Barack's. (Of course it is, notice how the libs are totally ignoring it?)

    Subject is Barack's War.

    (Realizing, of course, Iraq & Afghanistan are Barack's Wars, too)
