Obama needed to get Congressional Approval........the UN does not Mandate when our TROOPS are used.
Even though the no fly zones in IRAQ were sanctioned by the UN, and lead to the War, Bush ASKED and got bipartisan approval for the actions in Afghanistan and IRAQ. Obama not only did not get approval, he didn't ASK.
"The President does not have the power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation". Barack Obama, December 2007.
