Abstract
The expected victory by rebel forces over Libyan leader Muammar Gadhafi will be portrayed as a foreign-policy success for US President Barack Obama and other leaders who committed forces to the NATO-led air operation that played a role in the rebels' success. But Obama dispatched US forces without seeking authorisation from Congress, and Congress later rebuffed his effort to obtain it – the latest in a long line of conflicts to raise the respective war powers of the president and the Congress. US involvement is likely to end without congressional authority having been given. For the foreseeable future, political resistance will meet any suggestion of new foreign missions for the US military.
