but didn't you just say he was getting them all out? well, if some are staying, i find that odd-but don't make the claim that they're all going to be out next month, when that's clearly not the case.


as for congress, they want answers and they want reasons-i thought they didn't pass the stiffer resolution because the president said he was going to be forthcoming? so much for that. they did what they did to give him time to answer-but that time is running out, which explains the letter-and now the white houses response. the president had his window of opportunity to do this the right way. one would have to think their would be a damned good reason for being there-congress gave him benefit of the doubt and time to give that reason, but their patience is wearing thin, and with good reason. the executive has it's privileges, which congress recognized.
i completely disagree with the president on this matter.

Yeah, the fighting troops will be all out, and all that will be left is some advisors. Sounds pretty good to me, considering it was a complete waste of lives in the first place.

No, they didn't want to force us out of Libya in 15 days.

Yeah, Boehner created that letter instead as a panacea to those mad he pulled the War Resolution (allows them to play both sides of the story). But Boehner's letter doesn't have any power to compel the President to even answer it.

I agree with you, I don't like the President's answer on Libya.

The silence and lack of action by the UN is disgusting and proves how inept and worthless they really are...

Not exactly news...the UN will never be an effective voice for freedom as long as totalitarian governments have veto powers. The terrible events in Iran and other countries can only be addressed by the US and we simply can't be everywhere...we have a choice, become the world's police force or accept that these atrocities will continue...no good choices!

Agreed but we certainly don't need to aid them or for that matter have a President giving speeches expounding their great achievements (mostly lies).

and the fact it's "not exactly news" is extemely selfish and sad. But I guess as long as they have oil the fact they are horrible abusers of women will stay in the closet.
