This is a discussion on Who said this.... within the The Political and Social Snake Pit forums, part of the Current Happenings category; "The President does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does ...
pretty clear statement from then candidate Obama. guess he got confused or something. maybe he mistook the U.N. for congress."The President does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation."
what matters most in life is honesty. it's never wrong to do the right thing.
I guess you know the United Nations sanctions this action. America is not acting alone and at this time all we're doing is firing cruise missiles, jamming communications and radar plus providing satellite surveillance information.
In reality Obama was gathering heat from Republicans like McCain, who recently stated that Obama was to slow in responding.
BTW .. I'm sitting on the fence with SKY ... so consider my reply as neutral.
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. Just using a different angle to fool you.

Who said this.
"there are not one of those, there are many of those"
39 sec clip so you should be able to concentrate all the way through it even if you have been on the fluoride. Absolute fairy tales brought to you courtesy of the watch dog media... of course its all completely made up.

but...obama is different!! he's...all hopey and changey
as for the action in libya, i have mixed feelings also. probably more no than yes. sadly obama botched the decision no matter what he decided. either you make a clear statement that we will not interfere, or you push congress to authorize the no fly zone action and tell the U.N. that their agreement would be wonderful, but the u.s. is acting with or without their blessing.

....if it proves to be too late for the people of Libya – then the blame will lie almost entirely at the door of the Obama administration. After weeks of dithering and mixed signals... punctuated by periods of impenetrable silence, the White House had a sudden epiphany and declared itself in favour of a UN resolution allowing much more than a no-fly zone.
The word from Washington is that Hillary Clinton was behind this conversion: Barack Obama had joked publicly about the pressure that the Secretary of State was putting on him to overcome his reservations – which seemed to revolve primarily around his reluctance to bear any resemblance to his predecessor in the run-up to what is clearly going to be a difficult election. But the history of this ignominious chapter in American foreign policy is already being re-written in Washington with an enthusiastic chorus of support from Obama fans here:... Contrary to appearances then, Mr Obama is not out of his depth. Neither is he a cynic who secretly wants to keep Gaddafi in power for the sake of a quiet life (sometimes known as “stability in the region”) while he struggles with Congress over his tricky domestic programme. In other words, they were only pretending to be useless: it may have looked like a collapse of moral leadership to you but it really went completely according to plan

Watch now as Ghadaffi ratchets up the attacks on his own people, thousands will be murdered, troops will have to be sent in, this is just the beggining. once you step in paint, you can't help but track it all over and make a huge mess.
Air strikes alone are never enough, never, never, never. AK47's in the hands of every day men will do wonders for the death rates, and air strikes won't stop that, in fact it is only going to enflame it.
I'd bet a dollar Gates resigns as Defense Sec before the end of the month
Not quite! Bush was never so out-manouvered as Obama has been.Meet the new boss, same as the old boss
You three remind me of the three monkeys ..... only in "my" reality you are the three from OZ .. If I had a brain, If I had a heart, if I had courage .... OZ keeps jerking your chain's.
