US taxpayers paid for this and Obama was idolized for it (scroll down for newspaper front pages).

Libyan police too scared to arrest cemetery vandals despite capturing three who desecrated graves," UK Daily Mail
"Police in Libya captured three members of an armed mob that desecrated British war graves in Benghazi – but released them after a few hours because they were ‘too dangerous’.The extremists, who admitted smashing the gravestones with sledgehammers, belong to an Islamist militia with links to Al Qaeda.
During questioning, police were so nervous they made the men wear blindfolds so they would not be able to identify their interrogators."...via Atlas Shrugs

So, Congress is saying that Obama is not authorized to continue...
but if he does anyway, they'll give him the funds he needs to continue...
America, if
you vote for anyone that is currently in office in Washington, YOU are
the problem. Than includes voting for anyone that has ever held office
in Washington."

Mark Steyn: Do-gooders in a land with no good guys," Orange County Register
"It is tempting and certainly very easy to point out that Obama's war (or Obama's "kinetic military action," or "time-limited, scope-limited military action," or whatever the latest ever more preposterous evasion is) is
at odds with everything candidate Obama said about U.S. military action before his election. And certainly every attempt the president makes to explain his Libyan adventure is either cringe-makingly stupid ("I'm accustomed to this contradiction of being both a commander-in-chief but also somebody who aspires to peace") or alarmingly revealing
- of a very peculiar worldview:
"That's why building this international coalition has been so important," he said the other day.
- "It is our military that is being volunteered by others to carry out missions
that are important not only to us, but are important internationally."
That's great news. Who doesn't enjoy volunteering other people? The Arab League, for reasons best known to itself, decided that Col. Gadhafi had outlived his sell-by date. Granted that the region's squalid polities haven't had a decent military commander since King Hussein fired General Sir John Glubb half-a-century back, how difficult could it be even for Arab armies to knock off a psychotic transvestite guarded by Austin Powers fembots? But no: - Instead, the Arab League decided to volunteer the U.S. military.
Likewise, the French and the British. Libya's special forces are trained by Britain's SAS. Four years ago, President Sarkozy hosted a state visit for Col. Gadhafi, his personal security detail of 30 virgins, his favorite camel and a 400-strong entourage that helped pitch his tent in the heart of Paris. Given that London and Paris have the third- and fourth-biggest military budgets on the planet and that between them they know everything about Gadhafi's elite troops, sleeping arrangements, guard-babes and dromedaries, why couldn't they take him out? But no: ------------------------

I'm not a fan of George Bush but there is a massive societal double standard. Bush was burned in effigy for going to war. What would happen if someone in the US burned Obama in effigy?
