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

Right, but any action with our military against a foreign power is an act of war. It does not matter if we are enforcing a no fly zone or not. Also, a no fly zone does not mean the bombing of equipment unless they are preparing to launch the air craft. We bombed their air bases when there was no such indication. That is an act of war. I dont think you fully understand what an act of war means nor do you understand what a no fly zone is.

Sending our troops into Libyan air space is an act of war and here is the part of the war powers resolution you missed:
Quote:In the absence of a declaration of war, in any case in which United States Armed Forces are introduced--

(1) into hostilities or into situations where imminent involvement in hostilities is clearly indicated by the circumstances;

(2) into the territory, airspace or waters of a foreign nation, while equipped for combat, except for deployments which relate solely to supply, replacement, repair, or training of such forces

A no-fly zone is an area in which no unauthorized air craft are permitted to fly. If said air craft do fly then and only then is an engagement authorized. Bombing bases is not part of a no-fly zone as that is an act of war.
