to do when you've engaged in one imperial war too many? Deny it's a war. Obama
is well versed in the history of his European allies, who been at war with the
rest of the world for five hundred years, often annihilating whole peoples
without ever formally declaring war against them. "America's First Black
President is wholly compatible with the old-school imperialists of Europe, now
reborn and rejuvenated through NATO as the unchallenged masters of
Africa."</SPAN><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times"

immigrants is part of a larger scheme in which big government eliminates the

mce_style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-bidi-font-family:Times New Roman;">,
author of "American Empire: Before the Fall" says, "If another country did to us
what we are doing to Libya, we would incinerate it with nuclear weapons." As to
President Obama's contention that the U.S. is not at war with Libya and,
therefore, the War Powers Act has not been triggered, Fein says, "If it's not
war, then the United States is committing murder in Libya." The White House also
claims that no state of war exists because U.S. personnel are in little danger.
Says Fein: "The same would be said if the U.S. launched ICBMs with nuclear
warheads and utterly destroyed a country," without itself sustaining
casualties.</SPAN><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times"

mce_style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-bidi-font-family:Times New Roman;">,
professor of international law at the University of Illinois College of Law,
called Obama's position "an insult." He says the War Powers Act is triggered by
"hostilities" with another state. Another provision states the legislation comes
into play "any time we are armed in the airspace of another state." Boyle is
offering his services to any congressperson that wants to draw up a Bill of
Impeachment against the president.</SPAN><SPAN

mce_style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-bidi-font-family:Times New Roman;">,
of the Center for Constitutional Rights, points out that candidate Obama spoke
against the rise of an imperial presidency. "This is like the King wearing no
clothes," said Quigley, calling Obama's legal stance "ludicrous." There is
little prospect of judicial restraints on the White House, because "the courts
are cowardly." The Congress may be making loud noises, but the president is
telling them, in effect: "I know you're not going to do anything about
it."</SPAN><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times"
