I'm watching the Pentagon presser on the "coalition" attack on Libyan targets, and I am, quite frankly, stunned at how this all went down. President Obama seemed totally detached for so long while other people (ahem) threw rocks at his windows, and then, without any meaningful national debate, we're leading a military coalition and bombing Libya.
I agree with the person who once said: "The President does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation."
Too bad Barack Obama doesn't agree with himself anymore.
