2. Thanks for the links! Listening to JK's speech right now..
..I love how he called the GOP (and indeed perhaps some others..) out on their hypocrisy regarding authorizations and how this body (The Senate but indeed probably the House too..) "has behaved very differently depending in the President" when it comes to this. Excellent and IMO, virtually undeniable point. Also like how he made (IMO anyway..) a clear case for it being limited action (not full blown war). That's also an important point, one I feel has been rather lost in translation in all this when it comes to Libya especially.

JK is going to take some heat for this on the General forum though I bet and indeed McCain will likely draw heat from a certain element of his base as well (though they never liked him, so what's new? lol), a base that (in McCain's case) is suddenly dovish when Obama calls for military action of any sort...go figure!
