IS THE LIBYAN INTERVENTION LEGAL? “It is preposterous to use a euphemism like ‘kinetic military action’ and claim that the military campaign against the Gaddafi regime is not a ‘war.’ If any nation sent hundreds of missiles and bombs into the United States, all of them aimed at the American armed forces, the American people would of course consider this to be an act of war.”
Read the whole thing for some cogent arguments. Personally, I think it’s legal — ineffectual so far, but legal — but I’m certainly enjoying the irony of this administration’s endorsement of executive supremacy in matters military.
