Pamela Geller of Atlas Shrugs has it precisely right. The crisis of Obama all centres on his defence of Islam, and essentially his promotion of Islam
But Obama expresses something which is very deep in Western Capitalist Culture. Note what his advisor Brennan says.
Also George W. Bush and McCain, all good Republicans said roughly the same and that only touches the surface.
Geller pinpoints the issue with Obama here:
He refuses to identify Islamic terror, jihad or religious motivation. His counter terror adviser, John Brennan, says, “jihad is a legitimate tennt of islam,” so what exactly is Obama fighting in these four wars, and who is he fighting for
Lawmakers sue President Obama over Libya
Finally, elected officials are holding a runaway President to account. Does anyone know what the hell we hope to accomplish in Libya? What is Obama’s endgame in Libya, aiding al qaeda? On May 20th, the 60th day of Obama’s war in Libya, Obama was requird by law to get Congressional approval to continue his ops in Libya. The war he consulted no one about, the war he did not go to Congress on, the tyrant’s war.
He is now engaged in four wars: Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and a secret war in Yemen, and his strategy in Afghanistan and Iraq has resulted in the highest US military casualty rates, year over year, since these engagements began (in July 2009, I called it — Obama’s Afghanistan strategy: target US military). He refuses to identify Islamic terror, jihad or religious motivation. His counter terror adviser, John Brennan, says, “jihad is a legitimate tennt of islam,” so what exactly is Obama fighting in these four wars, and who is he fighting for?
Mind you, I have little in common with some of the lawmakers who filed the suit (i.e., Kucinich, Conyers, and Rand, for example), but then, even a broken clock is right twice a day.
Where the hell is the media? Busy shining his shoes.
Lawmakers sue President Obama over Libya Politico
A bipartisan group of House members announced on Wednesday that it is filing a lawsuit charging that President Obama made an illegal end-run around Congress when he approved U.S military action against Libya.
[….]
the suit will challenge the Obama administration’s “circumvention of Congress and its use of international organizations such as the United Nations and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization to authorize the use of military force abroad.”
It also will ask a judge to prohibit the White House from conducting a war without congressional approval.
Kucinich has scheduled a press conference at noon in front of the D.C. federal courthouse.
The suit comes a day after House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) sent Obama a letter claiming that military action in Libya will violate the 1973 War Powers Resolution if it does not end by Friday, 90 days after it began.
The Kucinich-Jones group also includes Democrats John Conyers of Michigan and Michael Capuano of Massachusetts and Republicans Howard Coble of North Carolina, John Duncan of Tennessee, Roscoe Bartlett of Maryland, Ron Paul of Texas, Tim Johnson of Illinois and Dan Burton of Indiana.
