Surprisingly enough, that choice is now proven as just another "HOPEY - CHANGEY' mistake, made in haste by another collection of unicorn-fart-sniffing LeftLibProggs...
President Obama rejected the views of top lawyers at the Pentagon and the Justice Department when he decided that he had the legal authority to continue American military participation in the air war in Libya without Congressional authorization, according to officials familiar with internal administration deliberations.
Jeh C. Johnson, the Pentagon general counsel, and Caroline D. Krass, the acting head of the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel, had told the White House that they believed that the United States military’s activities in the NATO-led air war amounted to “hostilities.” Under the War Powers Resolution, that would have required Mr. Obama to terminate or scale back the mission after May 20.
But Mr. Obama decided instead to adopt the legal analysis of several other senior members of his legal team — including the White House counsel, Robert Bauer, and the State Department legal adviser, Harold H. Koh — who argued that the United States military’s activities fell short of “hostilities.” Under that view, Mr. Obama needed no permission from Congress to continue the mission unchanged.
The Nobel Peace Prize...are we sure that's what Barack Obama won? I might be thinking of the 'Goebbels Police Prize'...BHO has, after all, managed to grow the size and scope of the Police State of America, at the same time he's also noted for the well-nourished unemployment rate that he also promised to fix.
But as for Peace, of the Nobel Prize-winning sort? Not so much. BHO has proven himself a complete and utter failure, both in stablilizing the home economy and in peacefully advancing U.S. foreign policy.
Good choice, LeftLibProggs. Good choice.
