I am glad we have a few people in Congress who at least have the courage to mention it.

Why is that always the defense of Kucinich? I guess that's the only dish he has to bring to the table.

The UN doesn't have the authority to use US troops.

According to our news, the operation is being led by one General Carter Ham, Commander of US Africa Command (AFRICOM).

I can't wait to see the Ham tanks of the 2040s. :cool:

Maybe not impeachable but you should have a debate and a vote.  Congress has given up way, way too much power to the executive on foreign policy.

Given how Congress tends to behave, it's probably for the best.

Included in the Congressional resolution granting war powers would be funding for a national park in South Dakota, Subsidies for Tobacco Farmers and the renaming of the the Oahu Port as "Ronald Regan Port".

Not to mention the resolution coming about 2 months after Gaddafi killed the last rebel.

Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

If Obama was white and he was smokin' 'em outta their holes unilaterally,  there'd be no problem.  Congress never has a problem with the US acting unilaterally, it's only when Presidents get international consensus and act under the legitimacy of the UN Security Council that Congress ever has a real issue.  Go fig.

I think Dennis the Menace only introduces bills if they're guaranteed to get six votes or less.

He's sort of like the left-handed brother of Ron Paul. :D

Well, at least Kucinich is consistent, whether a Dem or Repub President.

Maybe Kucinich can be impeached?!  How does he kept getting elected in Ohio? He's like their Barney Frank or something.   :D

It's easy to be consistent when you're irresponsible.
