even the reptilian rethugs.

WASHINGTON – The House on Friday overwhelmingly rejected a measure giving President Barack Obama the authority to continue the U.S. military operation against Libya, a major repudiation of the commander in chief.

5. It isn't going to happen. This is pure political theater, at least from the republican side. Yes,
most of the Democrats in the house are sincere about it, but except for ron paul and a few miscellaneous republicans, they want to get rid of Gadaffi(sic)

3. I would defund until I choked the life out of the MIC....
Edited on Fri Jun-24-11 01:05 PM by mike_c
If I could pick one permanent change to make in the world-- absolute power, on my say so-- it would be to cut U.S. military spending by 75% or more. Not to save money, especially, but rather to hamstring the generals and their MIC cohorts in the "defense industry." While diverting the money to other uses is desirable, simply starving the MIC beast is justification enough.

U.S. out of Iraq and Afghanistan NOW! (And Pakistan, Libya, Yemen, etc!)
