Hysterical, tortuous logic
White House on War Powers Deadline: ‘Limited’ US Role in Libya Means No Need to Get Congressional Authorization
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 rescueassistance; (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.”
Anyone else sick of the canard in the use of that word yet?

1 : of or relating to the motion of material bodies and the forces and energy associated therewith
We are doing something with energy. Moving bodies of things about with energy.
I think maybe we are moving these things with enough energy to KILL PEOPLE AND BREAK THINGS, which of course, is the ONLY REASON TO HAVE ARMED FORCES.
If this was George Bush, thru a mirror, a democratic party controlled house would have 3 or 4 motions to impeach before it Monday morning.
Barack Obama IS J Carter on Crack.
