When was the last military action taken done legally? I cant remember when was the last time Congress actually involved in the war making decision.,That they dont withold funding is a crime,,
No, if you are talking about Libya, we are talking a NATO action, not an act of war.. It was still a better outcome than what we got in Iraq, NO americans lost, is much better than 4K and a trillion in expense..
And if we were not mired in Iraq and afghanisthan wewould have made a good showing in Libya, Syria, yemen, and tunisia. Seriously ... we didn;t even have to provide weapons. All we had to do was drop a few 1000 soldiers protecting a few 100 doctors, nurses and medical personnel. It would have done wonders for our image in that region. The drones, the tactical and logistics support we did provide would have gone a few 1000 times more.
Sad, what a good opportunity has been missed. And no, Obama didn't miss it, Obama was soundly criticized for doing what the did and that in itself was pretty good, and Bushies lying about the WMD etc leading to the war against Iraq/Afghan ...
We should have done 1000 and could have without 2 wars. Could have - not would have - Would = hypothetic, Could is a fact.
Obama did 10 and got soundly criticized for that 10 till it succeeded, then Mitt the flip flop anchor baby criticizes Obama for not doing more.
Cool.
