Obama's speech on the Libyan conflict vs. the facts

What you seem to be missing is the fact that the hostilities must present a danger to the U.S. Which they dont. At best the situation in Libya could be considered a civil war and that does not threaten the U.S. at all.

What you don't seem to be getting is that THE US IS NOT ENGAGING IN HOSTILITIES. It's kind of important to making the WPR apply AT ALL.

Here, read this again.

It is the purpose of this joint resolution to fulfill the intent of the framers of the Constitution of the United States and insure that the collective judgement of both the Congress and the President will apply to the introduction of United States Armed Forces into hostilities, or into situations where imminent involvement in hostilities is clearly indicated by the circumstances, and to the continued use of such forces in hostilities or in such situations.
