Dem Rep Opposes Libya Raids Because ‘President Palin Might Invade Iran’
HOST HAL SPARKS : By the way, I’ve said respectively there is a tremendous amount of positive debate going on on the left side of the aisle where meaningful people who really do have good intentions are having a conversation about the validity of Operation Odyssey Dawn and the you know action in Libya and on the right there just seems to be a clamor to be on the opposite side of the president regardless of circumstance no matter what.
[Rep Mike Capuano D-MA joined the show]
SPARKS : Give me your assessment of sort of where we are with Libya and where we need to be going.
CAPUANO: Well, for me, I believe in the Constitution and I think the Constitution requires the president to get the approval of Congress to take an act of war. I’m disappointed that the president didn’t come to Congress before hand. I’m an early and ardent supporter of the President, but that does not mean I have given him carte blanche. Nor would I give anyone carte blanche because he won’t be president forever and my fear is you know President Palin [disdain] might decide to invade Iran without [Sparks interrupts]
SPARKS: And use that same power.
CAPUANO: ha ha ha. And so for me I want to think that this is the right thing to do, but honestly all I know about the issue is what I have learned through the media and I think that’s an inappropriate way to go and I think the president I hope the president comes to Congress this week and number on explains it to us better, explains what his goals are, what he thinks we should be doing.
Why we are there as opposed to not in Sudan and not in Yemen? And I do think those arguments can be made, but nonetheless I thinks it’s incumbent on him to do it and I’d like to hear those discussions.

Wild Thing’s comment………
This is the same democrat that said it is “Sometimes it’s necessary to get out on the streets and “get a little bloody,” in reference to labor battles in Wisconsin.
By God I will drink to that…President Palin
President Palin. That has a nice sound to it. I would not need to take time to get used to it. Of course many of us would just say “Sarah”.
Michael Capuano has never said anything truer. The US certainly has more reason to invade Iran than it does Libya. With troops and support installation already in Iraq, Kuwait and Afghanistan we are better positioned to invade Iran too. Sarah Palin could talk Saudi Arabia and Kuwait in to paying for it. Palin would be such a big improvement over Berry and the Delaware Dolt.
Where can I get one of those “Change you will be begging for” bumper stickers? The Hopy Changy thing just isn’t working.
Mark, me too.
Tom, yess and I love how we call her Sarah. It always brings a sigh of relief to even think she might run for president.
Avitar, I wonder if there are bumper stickers like that. I have no idea. It would be wonderful.
