Obama fires first shot at Qaddafi

I've always found it a load of BS on pres power. B/c you need congress to declare war, but a "military action" can be enacted by the pres as commander in chief--a loophole if you will. Isnt there a time limit though, something about 72hrs or3 days?

Here you go, War_Powers_Resolution

The War Powers Resolution requires the president to notify Congress within 48 hours of committing armed forces to military action and forbids armed forces from remaining for more than 60 days, with a further 30 day withdrawal period, without an authorization of the use of military force or a declaration of war.

Congress rubber stamps, it allows them to avoid problems if things don't work out, blame POTUS.

I would just HATE to be a soldier during these times. Our leaders, are so confused, our direction is so MISDIRECTED, our "end game" has no finality. Totally, a cluster fuck.............
