The EU

Google says the EU requires a notice of cookie use (by Google) and says they have posted a notice. I don't see it. If cookies bother you, go elsewhere. If the EU bothers you, emigrate. If you live outside the EU, don't go there.

House Foreign Affairs Committee Hearings on WPR

Here is an article from The New York Times, by Reporter Charlie Savage, on the War Powers Resolution and Libya.  At the hearing a number of Representatives spoke against the current situation.  On the other hand,
Several other lawmakers spoke favorably of a proposal introduced this week by Senators John Kerry, Democrat of Massachusetts, and John McCain, Republican of Arizona, that would in effect end the debate by expressing legislative support for the Libyan operation.
It is good to see that our Senior Senator, John H Kerry, has not been asleep at the switch.

But, as for the war itself:
The Obama administration has described the American contribution as limited — supporting NATO allies, along with the intermittent use of drones to fire missiles at ground targets.  Still, speaking in London earlier this week, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton portrayed the American contribution in robust terms.

“Even today, the United States continues to fly 25 percent of all sorties,” Mrs. Clinton said.  “We continue to provide the majority of intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance assets.”
It is time we got our act together down in Washington.
