We still have people "in-country" in Japan, Germany ...

Kucinich had the Libya War Powers Resolution Act on the floor of Congress a couple weeks ago, and the Republicans - Speaker John Boehner - pulled it from a vote due to fear it would pass, and we'd then have to get out of Libya within 15 days.

So it's not just the President that's fine with Libya at this point. The Republican House leadership had the chance to force us to get out of Libya 15 days after the resolution passed, and they did not allow it to pass.
