Chicken Littles

"Wait a minute, fellows. I was just thinking. I really don't want to see the Wizard this much. I'd better wait for you outside."
--Cowardly Lion (The Wizard of Oz)

President Obama maintains that the war in Libya is not a war. The judge and his guest note how laughable this farce is.

The discussion turned to how Congress could abdicate their Constitutional responsibilities to declare war. Their conclusion: Congress is full of cowards. Rather than defend the Constitution as they pledge to do when they enter office, those on Capitol Hill slink away on the path of least resistance.

When it comes to Congress, 'public service' is one of the all time greatest misnomers.

If the State's chief function is war, then the State must suck out of the nation a large part of its energy for its purely sterile purposes of defense and aggression.
