“The President has no Constitutional authority to take this nation to war against a country of 70 million people unless we’re attacked or unless there is proof that we are about to be attacked. and if he does, if he does, I would move to impeach him.”

Technically, Libya only has 6.5 million people, so maybe Joe can weasel out with a Clinton-esque parsing of the definition his words.

UPDATE: As if right on cue, here comes Obama with his own Clintonesque approach to the action in Libya, claiming “we are not at war“:

The White House held a classified briefing Tuesday with House and Senate leaders regarding the ongoing situation in Libya emphasizing the U.S. is NOT at war with Libya.

So if we are not at war, then how should we classify the deaths caused by bombings Obama has ordered? Murder? Terrorism?
