@sharon_lynch I'm suggesting notion that going small w/o AUMF is not the panacea for intervention Obama treated it as in Libya.
@sharon_lynch There have been SOF people who wrote specifically abt this. And notion that we had no tie to Qatar support is ... quaint.

@emptywheel i will gladly read them, but i honestly do not think you have a clear or comprehensive understanding of the situation in libya. -
@sharon_lynch Nothing you've told me is new. What you have made clear is you're pretending our actions have no tie to consequences. -
@emptywheel that is not true at all. you are mixing arguments and using libya when you don't have indepth knowledge of the situation. -
@sharon_lynch Well everything you've told me is stuff i knew. So what is it that I don't know that you're not mentioning? -
@emptywheel plus, you are mixing arguments. obama's circumventing congress is a separate argument and i know you know that. -
@sharon_lynch You do realize that when Obama circumvents Congress it has an influence on what tools he can use? -
@emptywheel i have work to do. as i said, i support you in holding obama to the law, but not in your conclusions about libya. -
@sharon_lynch Thanks. And I'm glad you're still focusing on Libya. I will continue to focus on what happens when POTUS use Article II badly.

@emptywheel i did not say we had no tie to Qatar support. the coalition was public. knowledge. if you want to send me links to articles, -
@sharon_lynch Then you've ceded my point. Qatar providing weapons is the very nature of small footprint CIA operations.
