All right. So, then you also believe that it was illegal when Thomas Jefferson sent men into combat in the region of Libya? And the numerous times it's been done since without a declaration of war? Would you refuse to obey an order to deploy to the Libyan theater to assist in the Nato operation there because (in your view) it's illegal? You didn't quote any language from the resolution, much less any language purporting to give the President authority to go to war at his own behest. I've asked you several times to cite the specific language that supposedly does this; I'm going to assume at this point that you cannot because it doesn't exist and/or you have not read it. The truth of the matter is this -- if one reads the law -- It assumes the President has authority on his own behalf to initiate combat actions but purports to require him to report to Congress on the state of the engagement. None of these questions have anything to do with the topic we're discussing -- Presidential authority to initiate armed hostilities without a Congressional declaration of war. As such, they're off topic diversions. Keep in mind: I opposed the Libyan intervention and am unimpressed by the stated needs for the action. Do you have any questions pertaining to the actual subject we're discussing?
