Time's up

The 1973 War Powers Act grants the President of the United States 60 days to conduct military operations without seeking the approval of congress.

US involvement in Libya behan March 19th.

Today marks 61 days & yesterday the CIC wrote a letter to congress explaining that US military involvement in Libya at this stage is so limited, so narrow, that it really isn't worth the effort to seek congressional approval at this point.

Really?

Is THAT what the law says? Sounds an awful like "advisors" in South East Asia to me. Which is exactly the scenario this law was intended to prevent from reoccurring.

In other news, the world is supposed to end at 6pm today. If it does, Im calling in. If it doesn't I may need to celebrate dodging such an apocalyptic bullet, thus facilitating a need to, call in. That's your classic "win-win" there.
