Isn't it refreshing when somebody in Government actually gets it right?

The War Powers act puts a check on the CINC, the president. The president has to get approval or a Declaration of War from Congress if the military is engaged for 60 days, plus 30 to get out. The US, using NATO surrogates, has been dithering in Libya for the designated time.
The House of Reps has denied authorization.
It is nice when they get it right.

For the purpose of contrast-The Israelis were surrounded and took down multiple enemies in 6 days!
NATO (the US in disguise) has been screwing around for months against a rabble of an army plagued with desertions.
My point, risking being crude, is shit or get off the pot.

Good job Congress.
