2 Top Lawyers Lost to Obama in Libya War Policy Debate

It would seem the President out-lawyered the lawyers and won a legal discussion because, as we all know, he's so brilliant. But here's the first paragraph.

He won because he rejected their points because he has the final say. They 'lost'? Really? How about they were ignored.
