We recently passed the two-month mark since the military air campaign against Libya began. This is significant because the War Powers Act requires that a president receive a congressional mandate for any military action within 60 days.
The deadline came and went without any resolution being brought before the House or the Senate.
It's just another signal that our engagement in Libya is lingering on without much accountability, without a vigorous debate about the consequences of what we're doing there.
Does anyone know exactly what our mission is and how we'll know when we've achieved it? What is the end game? What are the metrics or benchmarks of success?
At the same time, today the House will consider expanding the authorization for use of military force, empowering a president to start firing bombs and missiles virtually at his whim, against any nation or non-state actor that appears to pose a threat.

It's time to put the brakes on. It's time for Congress to draw some clear lines, and Libya is the perfect place to do so. That's why I am supporting Rep. John Conyers' (D-Mich.) amendment to the defense authorization bill specifically prohibiting the deployment of ground troops in Libya.
We cannot afford any further expansion of this engagement.coogi jeans for sale to men with low price and top quality.

We must not put boots on the ground in Libya,Wedge Shoes was created in order to maintain a balance of the athletes' movement. and we must close any loophole that allows any president to do so.
We still have combat troops in Iraq. We're spending a staggering $10 billion every month on an ongoing war in Afghanistan that has been a devastating moral and strategic failure.
We can't keep doing this. Our military is at a breaking point. The American people's patience is wearing thin. Two wars are already more than we can handle.
