We fired 112 Tomahawk missiles at Libya today in ten minutes. Each Tomahawk missile costs $1 million. So in ten minutes, we spent $112 million, but we can't afford Head Start? John Boehner says we can't afford both war and Social Security. We'll fight these wars, cut Social Security, and put Grandmas on a diet of catfood.
Why? Are our national interests at stake?
When did Libya attack or invade us? When did Libya threaten to attack or invade us? Why did we intervene here, but we still haven't saved New Orleans? Why do we need three wars? Weren't two enough, even for the most bloodthirsty of the reich wing? When did Congress, the only entity with the Constitutional power to do so, declare any of these three wars?
Oh, oil.
Operation Iraqi Liberation. OIL. Eight years ago today.
Operation Intervention in Libya. OIL. Now.
My county is out of step with me.
You are so right...."Under the War Powers Act of 1973, the president can send U.S. armed forces into conflict only with the authorization of Congress or if the United States is under attack or serious threat". These guys are insane.http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/03/20/obama-libya_n_838219.html
