Obama: I Don’t Need Your Permission



ABC
In an effort to satisfy those arguing he needs to seek congressional authorization to continue US military activity in accordance with the War Powers Resolution, President Obama wrote a letter to congressional leaders this afternoon suggesting that the role is now so “limited” he does not need to seek congressional approval.

“Since April 4,” the president wrote, “U.S. participation has consisted of: (1) non-kinetic support to the NATO-led operation, including intelligence, logistical support, and search and rescue assistance; (2) aircraft that have assisted in the suppression and destruction of air defenses in support of the no-fly zone; and (3) since April 23, precision strikes by unmanned aerial vehicles against a limited set of clearly defined targets in support of the NATO-led coalition’s efforts.”

A senior administration official told ABC News that the letter is intended to describe “a narrow US effort that is intermittent and principally an effort to support to support the ongoing NATO-led and UN-authorized civilian support mission and no fly zone.”

“The US role is one of support,” the official said, “and the kinetic pieces of that are intermittent.”


Wild Thing’s comment……..
If Bush would have done this, the MSM and Dems would have called for Impeachment investigations now!

Ok, we’re not fighting a war over there. So, the fighter jet that went down only had a bad landing…bad kinetic’s.
If Bush had done this, the Democrats and their minions in the MSM would be calling for impeachment.

I support Impeachment for treason, trial, verdict of guilty and since we are @ war, execution by miltary firing squad. But hey, aren’t I allowed to have an opinion?
