Congress Gets Tough With Obama Over Libya
In Which I Finally Agree With The GOP About Somthing

This.

Of course the group is bipartisan, and the Republicans are undoubtedly doing this for the wrong reasons. They loved the surreal invasion of Iraq, with its patently fictitious trappings of a humanitarian intervention...but that was Bush, and this is Obama. And every one of Obama's decisions must be opposed at every turn. Hell, at least Bush did get Congressional authorization...even if he twisted and abused it. Oh, and: this is genuinely a humanitarian mission...and Republicans typically will not stand for something like that (see their opposition to Clinton's humanitarian action in the Balkans).

So, this is being done for all the wrong reasons, and it's largely just another expression of GOP insanity...but even a stopped clock--and even a very stupid, very destructive, very partisan stopped clock--is right twice a day. IMHO, Congress needs to get serious about the War Powers Resolution. This is a dumb time to get serious about it, but I think we've got to take the long view here.
