“the resolution states that Congress opposes the use of forces on the ground in Libya, except in the exceptional case where they might be needed for the immediate personal defense of U.S. government officials or for rescuing a member of the NATO forces from imminent danger. Those are the only circumstances in which it might be contemplated. The intent of this resolution is to authorize only the very limited mission--the continuation of the very limited mission--in Libya that is a support role, and that does not include the use of U.S. ground forces.”
