There is no comparison between Iraq and Libya. A better comparison would be the Clinton administration's actions during the War in Kosovo.
I had the same thought about the no-fly zone over Bosnia....it was a NATO operation, not a unilateral action by the US.

Only this time the US and NATO allies didnt wait for the slaughter of civilians to reach such a level of atrocity.

I dont think Clinton got Congressional approval for participating in the initial action, he acted on the UN mandate, but I might be wrong. As a matter of fact, I dont think Reagan got Congressional approval for invading Granada, nor GHW Bush for invading Panama.
