Harry Reid yanks Libya resolution


Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid cancelled a vote on a Libya resolution Tuesday, following a torrent of criticism from Senate Republicans who say they are in town to talk about debt, not foreign policy.

Reid said he decided against holding the procedural vote after meeting with Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.

“We’ve agreed, notwithstanding the broad support for the Libya resolution, the most important thing for [us to] focus on this week is the budget,” Reid said.

Sen. John McCain (R.-Ariz.), who coauthored the resolution with Sen. John Kerry (D-Ma.)said on the Senate floor he understands the need to focus on debt, but questioned tabling foreign policy.

“However, I would point out that the Senate does need to have a debate about U.S. military action and policy in Libya,” McCain said.

He added that meetings are in motion on the debt limit, and said he was “confident” the White House was involved in these discussions, although there was no confirmation yet of a meeting between the administration and Senate Democrats – an invitation Reid extended last week.

Republicans had latched onto the planned vote, pointing out that Reid had cancelled this week’s scheduled Senate recess to focus on the ongoing deficit negotiations — not foreign policy.

“We have been called back in because there is a budget crisis in this country, because we have a debt ceiling of over $14 trillion that is getting ready to be hit, and we need to focus on that and that alone during this week,” said Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Texas)

Freshman Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) had blocked Reid’s first attempt to open debate on the Libya resolution last week, forcing the majority leader to schedule today’s Libya vote.

Harry Reid yanks Libya resolution

The left once again showing just how hypocritical they are. Wars = cool and OK when waged by a Dem president.

So much for upholding those "progressive" values.

Republicans are divided on the libyan war effort.  they'd rather focus upon the issue of economy, something they're united on, which is a winner.

You just have too many repubs supporting military efforts there.

This isn't about Republicans, stud. This is about Harry Reid and other hypocritical democrats going silent on Libya, even going so far as to yank a Libya resolution off the table. The same people who wouldn't shut up about Iraq are not justifying Obama's "kinetic action" and invasion of yet another sovereign country. The same people who are dead silent on the escalating attacks in Yemen.

Seriously, you need to stop fucking derailing threads that talk about Obama and the Dems with your GOP infatuation, twat. It's getting really old.

EDITORIAL: Obama’s hostility to the truth--White House needs to own up to its war in Libya
The Washington Times ^ | July 5, 2011 | Editorial
Posted on July 5, 2011 8:54:30 PM EDT by jazusamo

President Obama dismissed criticism of his Libya policy last week, saying, “A lot of this fuss is politics.” Regardless of action on Senate Joint Resolution 20, the McCain-Kerry plan to authorize the limited use of force in Libya, the more important issue is Mr. Obama’s unwillingness to own up to his decisions in his role as commander in chief. Mr. Obama took the country to war in Libya, and he should admit it.

The fuss goes beyond politics, beyond whether Mr. Obama’s policies are in the U.S. national interest and even beyond whether American military action has been effective. The most important issue is Mr. Obama’s contempt for the intelligence of the American people. No one believes the self-serving White House argument that U.S. involvement in Libya’s civil war does not constitute “hostilities.” Mr. Obama’s legalistic attempt to duck his responsibilities under the War Powers Resolution has left his administration having to defend the biggest credibility gap since “the light at the end of the tunnel.”

The war over “hostilities” was launched on June 15 with a White House memo to Congress that argued that the “limited” American role in Libya did not rise to the level of action envisioned by framers of the War Powers Resolution. State Department legal adviser Harold Koh has been the point man defending the administration’s creative use of language, though he hasn’t been very effective. After his testimony last week before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, senators approved the McCain-Kerry resolution with a passage stating flatly that U.S. actions in Libya “constitute hostilities within the meaning of the War Powers Resolution.”
