Mike Mullen: U.S. Mission In Libya 'Limited', But No End In Sight

WASHINGTON -- Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Adm. Michael Mullen made the rounds of the morning talk shows on Sunday, and one of the main messages that emerged on Libya is that, right now, there just aren't many answers: how long the U.S. will stay involved, how long a no-fly zone will stay in place, and how much capacity the U.S. military has to sustain another conflict.

It should would be nice to see a definition of victory and an exit strategy. Didn't candidate Obama berate President Bush over that?

First Read - WH pushes back on charge that it didn't consult with Congress

Administration officials began to pushback hard today in Chile on the charge that the White House did not consult with Congress.

Exhibit A for the White House: A Senate resolution that passed March 1, which denounced Khaddafy's atrocities. The White House says the U.N. resolution authorizing force in Libya incorporates it.

Under the War Powers Act, the president has 90 days after introducing troops into hostilities to obtain congressional approval of that action.

And what additional approval does he need to put troops under foreign command?

 

[SPEKTOR-AAA]

We should NOT allocate any troops to Libya, period. We are stretched thin enough as it is all over teh world.

I doubt that will ever happen anyways.
