U.S. military action Libya is illegal and immoral

I say the actions are immoral because the rebels the military is working with are also working with al-Qaida. The war is illegal because Obama is not legally president, there was no vote in Congress for military action in Libya and there was no imminent threat from Libya that was needed for Obama to take military action under the war powers act on the 8th anniversary of the start of the war in Iraq. This was the guy that was promoted as the peace candidate. I support a pro-America first conservative foreign policy. Here is how I define a pro-America first foreign policy. I believe actions taken by the U.S. military should serve the interests of the United States. U.S. military actions should focus on killing terrorists, blowing stuff up and other threats to the United States. The United States military should not be paying for the defense of other nations with our taxes dollars and it shouldn’t build the infrastructure of foreign nations. Foreign policy should not be enriching other nations while impoverishing ours. We should not be focusing so much on securing Iraq’s border while ignoring our own. Here is how I define a conservative foreign policy. A conservative wants to use the military to defend the nation if and only if it is needed to defend the nation. A conservative wants to be tough when fighting a war instead of using politically correct rules that tie our hands. A conservative’s main goal in war is defeating the enemy typically by killing the enemy and blowing things up. A conservative does not want to fight a war endlessly but wants victory in a just cause to protect the nation. A conservative should use the best tactics to win a war quickly within a few years in most cases if it must be fought and not last for several years. A conservative should want to follow the U.S. Constitution which requires that the Congress declare war. A war should be fought with full force of U.S. military with the best weapons available but the United States should not police the world and avoid foreign entanglements as our founders wanted. We should use common sense to defend America which requires profiling Muslims at airports but we should not violate the 4th Amendment by subjecting them to body scans that Bill Clinton would like to see and touching people inappropriately because America should remain free. This war is not likely to go well since Qaddafi has enough gold to make this last for years and the coalition seems to be having a hard time staying together. You would think it would be easier to hold the coalition together since the coalition in Iraq had about twice as many countries. I for one can’t wait until we get that warmonger Barack Obama out of office to end this illegal and immoral war for Oil! A Democrat in Congress says the war is for oil. In 2007 Obama himself said "The President does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation". Congress voted to table a resolution which would state exactly this "The President does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation". A vote to table the resolution was a vote to not take up the resolution for a vote which is sort of like a filibuster. Only 10 Senators out of 100 voted to uphold the U.S. Constitution. I noticed they were all Republicans and half are new Tea Party Senators. The other 90 Senators should be removed from office. Article I, Section VIII, Clause XI U.S. Constitution states under powers of Congress that Congress shall have the power “To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water;” The Senators that voted for the U.S. Constitution are listed here: Collins (R-ME) DeMint (R-SC) Ensign (R-NV) Johnson (R-WI) Lee (R-UT) Moran (R-KS) Paul (R-KY) Sessions (R-AL) (R-ME) Toomey (R-PA) Support our troops by putting them in a position to defend America instead of working with rebels that are supported by Al Qaida. That is why I must oppose U.S. military actions in Libya. Here are all the articles and videos that confirm what I am saying.
