Obama's logic problem

Funny how everything seems different when you get into that big White House...

I have been generally supportive of our efforts in Libya, but I have to admit I'm a little dubious about President Obama's reasoning on this one:

President Obama rejected the views of top lawyers at the Pentagon and the Justice Department when he decided that he had the legal authority to continue American military participation in the air war in Libya without Congressional authorization, according to officials familiar with internal administration deliberations.
