From ABC News Blog:


"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.”

We're only killing 'bad' people, so we don't need to declare war for that. As long as we're killing 'bad' people, and helping support the 'good' guys, it's not war. I don't need Congressional approval to kill 'bad' people--it's probably somewhere in that shredded piece of paper we use to call the Constitution, but now only refer to as a historical document, much like Greek mythology.

In 30 days, without Congressional approval, Obama will officially be a criminal for this act.
