[Hoot Gibson]

Hoot, who are you to say Gaddafi deserved a trial? You weren't effected in any why by anything he did, and you weren't part of the war against his forces. It's a totally different country, and people. I guarantee that not one part of the Geneva Convention would stick if anyone tried to prosecute..

Hell, we don't even know if that's exactly what happened before...it all happened within minutes. Also, Libya isn't a civilized country right now, they've been at war for most of this year. And how in the world can you say that the NATO's no-fly zone, and then their direct intervention constituted war? Gaddafi's Army constituted that by killing his own people!

What are you saying, Vundy? That you want to live in a country where the President of the United States has the sole authority to overthrow foreign governments without consulting Congress before or after the fact? That NATO's wishes or UN resolutions trump our Constitution? Because by making the case that Obama did not do anything wrong by ignoring the War Powers Act that certainly seems like the case that you are making.

Saddam Hussein killed hundreds of thousands of civilians, many of whom died from Iraqi nerve gas. Is this not the same president who condemned his predecesor for invading Iraq? Were you in favor of taking out Saddam Hussein to prevent further slaughter of his political enemies? Why did we not intervene in Darfur? Rwanda? Why are we not taking action against Iran for the many atrocities that its leaders continue to take against its political opponents and for taking Americans hostage? What about Syria's brutal crackdown against its dissidents, should we launch cruise missiles and drones into Damascus? North Korea? Should we only employ air power against governments who are killing their citizens who are not strong enough to pose a threat to us, or should the humanitarian considerations trump concern for our military's potential casualties?

Do you really want one person to have the sole right to make these decisions and to be accountable to no one? Because that is what has happened in the case of Libya and Obama's poll numbers have risen slightly in the latest Gallup poll.

Do you really want the POTUS being the sole decision maker when it comes to taking our nation to war? And do you really want him deciding what constitutes war and which federal laws apply to him and which ones that he should be free to ignore?

I personally don't want to live in a country where our president is not bound by federal laws and my opinion will not change after Obama is voted out of office.
