A Few Problems with Libyan Strategy

  1. What Strategy?  One day Ghaddafi has to go and the next, "he's not a target".
  2. What Coalition?  On day six the coalition looks like the 3 Stooges.  Turkey's mad a France, the UAE is backing out, NATO doesn't really want it - nor should they.
  3. If Ghaddafi goes we're not sure who will succeed him!
  4. Does anyone know the key criteria for Success here?
  5. Is there an Exit Strategy other than Obams deciding to "cut and run"?
  6. The Defence Department says that the action so far can be covered under their budget. What a nice budget they have - let's go get some of that gravy!
  7. The U.S. President has violated Section 1, Article 8 of the Constitution:
    1. "The Congress Shall have the power to Declare War!"
  8. The U.S. President has also violated the War Powers Resolution of 1973:
    1. The President can send U.S. armed forces into action abroad Only by Authorization of Congress OR if the U.S. is already Under Attack or serious threat."
  9. The U.S. President should be Impeached
    1. Per the Constitution,   "The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments".  Oh well that won't happen in this Senate but we will remember.
These are my few problems does anyone have any others?
