House Speaker John Boehner (R – OH) has warned today that if put to a vote, the House of Representatives would likely not support a resolution authorizing the Obama Administration’s War in Libya in its current form.
Pointing to Senate efforts to authorize the war Boehner noted “we’ve said almost the same exact thing, except that they’re pushing for an authorization in Libya and I don’t think that’s where the House is.”
Rather the House is considering a pair of proposals, one that would authorize the war for a year and another that would require the administration to limit its role in the war to purely support efforts, banning the administration from launching its own attacks.
Boehner pointed to President Obama’s refusal to seek Congressional authorization, and his claims that no such authorization was needed as a big reason for the opposition. The claims have sparked a lawsuit from a number of Congressmen demanding an end to the war.
Wake up Senators.., is time to stop all and every wars.., is time for peace around the world.., enough is enough Senator Kerry and Macain.., enough is enough.., you people by voting for wars have made many people homeless and killed or injured for life, you have bankrupt the country and destroyed many nations infrastructures.., wake up and stop this war as well as all other wars.., there are other human beings live in this world then just you.
Such a refusal would be the first act of sanity on the part of congress in the current term.
It is time to shut down the funding for the war on Libya pronto.
And it is time to begin impeachment proceedings against Obama.
David Swanson and others on the pro-Dem "Left" were only too happy to call for impeachment of Bush. Remember the T-shirts that proclaimed "Impeach Bush. He lied. Thousands Died.". Now Swanson in the face of the unconstitutional war on Libya whines that impeachment is not practical and will only appeal to racists and crazies on the Right. Sure.
IMPEACH Obama and send him back to Kenya.
Who voted into office the crooks and thieves, COWARDS, idiots and morons, ZIONISTS, perverts, TRAITORS that we have in our US Congress?
Bring ALL of the troops home NOW!
By continuing to fund the illegal unnecessary costly wars – Congress is complicit in the war crimes being committed!
Ya know, Sparky…even if some of what you say is correct and commendable you lose all credibility when you resort to spouting the racist rantings of those so-called birthers. What you say will be welcomed and hopefully discussed if you stick to the truth and deal with facts. Otherwise, you remain, as you should, as background noise not worthy of respect.
But, that's just this old Curmudgeon's opinion…
Is Boner going to cry until he gets his way? He's a turd who only wants to end the war because Obama prosecuted it without asking Boner's (or Congressional) permission. Obomba is continuing a now long-standing tradition of ignoring Congress to go to war.
The war fatigue is really getting to me and I welcome any and all attempts to curtail this gross overreach of Executive power
Instead of warning Obama that he will lose the vote, why doesn't Boehner just hold the vote? Feels like he's giving Obama breathing room to refashion his excuses. Just defund the war!
If that does happen (big IF here), I'm going to enjoy every bit of that showdown.
The administration would only ignore congress anyway. And congress doesn't have the courage to impeach him.
