Actually I believe I have. This isn't our party, we don't need to formally declare war because we're just another participant in this U.N. action, the US couldn't have acted sooner as Libya isn't a serious threat to U.S. interests in the region and the U.N. is the lead on this, and as much as dislike Barry and his politics I think he acted correctly- say as little as possible, let Libya's neighbors dictate our response time, and let them play 'world police'. I don't mind one bit that we supply the muscle for this but I DO have a big problem with this apparent push to remove Ghadafi under the guise of a U.N. no fly zone. We pulled this crap in Iraq and see where that got us ? If we can keep Castro bottled up 90 miles off our shore for 40+ years why can't we do the same with Libya with his enemies help ?
I personally think we should have kept our hands clear of this, but since we're already there we need to make certain that we do ONLY what the U.N. says we can do, and NOTHING more.
