Neocons and Democrats Work in Congress to Support Obama’s Libyan War

Meanwhile, Senate neocons are drafting a resolution to slap the gloss of legality on Obama’s war. Sen. John McCain is working with Foreign Relations Committee Chairman John Kerry, D-Mass, GOP boss Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and Sen. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn, to come up with a symbolic “sense of the Senate” motion or something with more sticking power to legitimize the illegal war.

Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl Levin, a Michigan Democrat, said debate on a resolution authorizing military force after the fact could open the door for opponents to rally against the resolution.

Kerry went so far as to say he doesn’t think Congress needs to sign off on the military action after the fact, but Congress may come up with a bill regardless.

In other words, the unitary presidency is alive and well, never mind how loudly Democrats howled when Bush did the same thing.
