KT McFarland cut off by Fox
Vanity | 3/20/2011 | self

Posted on 03/19/2011 10:29:52 PM PDT by PieterCasparzen

Ok, for the second time today I saw KT McFarland on Fox and she mentioned that this is the first time the U.S. has initiated an overt act of war based purely on intervention supporting the toppling of a dictator.

This time, however, after several minutes of speaking by phone, she began to make that statement and was unceremoniously cut off by the Fox person.

KT is absolutely correct and Fox should follow this story, because it is going to be a factor in the days and years ahead anyway. You can't undo a completed Tomahawk attack.

Barry has to do what George Soros tells him to do.

[. . .this is the first time the U.S. has initiated an overt act of war based purely on intervention supporting the toppling of a dictator.]

What about Urgent Fury, Panama, 1989?

Same thing happened to a military analyst who was getting ready to make a point.

No, Panama happened because we can’t live without the Panama Canal.

Yeah, I almost forgot that Carter gave the Panama Canal away. Good thing he didn't give Guantanamo Bay back to Castro.

Can you imagine how the rats would be jumping up and down and hollering “War monger!” if it was Bush taking this action against Libya?

US, UK Tomahawks 'First Phase' to Open Libyan Airspace.

Obama says US role limited as Libya strikes start.

Wrong!!! -- First Phase' to Open US-Libyan War.

So now we're belligerents in an Arab War in The land of the Libu (the ancient Berber tribe).

'Operation Arugula' (Zer0 does Al-Qaeda's dirty work - Can you say 'caliphate coalition'?)

Is it possible we are helping the Brotherhood take over the Middle East?

In this corner you have the regime of Muammar Gaddafi, which refers to the country as the Great Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya (People's Republic), controls Tripoli and several other cities in the western half of the country.

And in the other corner there's the National Transitional Council of the Libyan Republic, led by Mustafa Abdul Jalil, based in Benghazi and controls the eastern half of the country.

I say stay the f' out of somebody else's war!

Where's Waldo? Is this the first time we ever started a war and the President was outside of the country and on vacation?

Libya - Col Qaddafi-1sm

Qadaffi bombs the rebles, Obama increases his rhetoric. Qadaffi keeps going, Obama increases the rhetoric. Qadaffi says he'll blow up commercial jets. Obama declares Qadaffi a school bully. Quadaffi ignores Obama.

'Let me be clear, these terms are not negotiable,' Mr. Obama said from the East Room of the White House. Obama then calls for the UK and France to take the lead.

No one in the world takes this man seriously.

‘I say stay the f’ out of somebody else’s war!’

It is too late, we are in it. Either Khaddafi will be dead or the US will have been defeated.

Oh I take him very seriously, inasmuch as he is a self serving very old world type self prideful ruler. He is like a spoiled brat two year old that is in charge of the family household... All the circuits in his brain check in on what will serve him first and the most... consequences are not part of his circuit board.

And just look at the ‘GOP’ leadership, they appear to quake in their boots just at his image.

They will end up in the “cornfield” if they don’t.

http://www.halcyon.com/jmashmun/npd/goodlife.html.
“It’s A GoodLife”
An artistic view of the world as ordered by a six-year-old is presented in the well-known short story, “It’s A Good Life,” by Jerome Bixby. This story was dramatized for television on “The Twilight Zone” in 1961, screenplay by Rod Serling, and a somewhat different version of the story was used in the film, “Twilight Zone,” in 1983. Here’s the story used on television:
Anthony Fremont is a six-year-old with extraordinary powers to control the little town where he lives by simply wishing away people and things that anger or bore him. He has isolated the town by banishing electricity and cars. Other than his powerful wishing, Anthony has the mind and imagination of a typical little boy. He amuses himself with his special ability by giving a gopher three heads and then wishing the animal dead when the game becomes boring. The people in Peaksville have to smile all the time, think happy thoughts, and say happy things, because that’s what Anthony commands and, if they disobey, he can wish them into a cornfield or change them into grotesque versions of themselves. Anthony dislikes singing and punished Aunt Amy for thoughtlessly singing in his presence. Anthony asks his father why no children come to play with him. Mr. Fremont reminds Anthony that when the Fredericks boy came over, Anthony had wished the other boy away into the cornfield after they’d finished playing. He wishes a dog into the cornfield for barking.
Anthony’s parents have invited several people to their house for a surprise birthday party for one of their friends, Dan Hollis. Anthony makes everyone watch what he, like lots of other little boys, wishes to see on television — dinosaurs fighting. Dan Hollis’s wife gives him a record for his birthday, but Anthony won’t permit him to play it. Dan grumbles angrily and then begins singing “Happy Birthday.” Anthony tries to intimidate Dan by staring at him. Dan suggests that Anthony should be distracted and then killed, but nobody moves to help Dan. Anthony points his finger at Dan and screams “You’re a bad man! You’re a very bad man!” and turns Dan into a jack-in-the-box and then sends him to the cornfield. Everyone turns away in horror except Anthony’s father, who begs Anthony to wish him into the cornfield. Anthony complies. A few minutes later, Anthony wishes for snow, though this will kill half the crops, not to mention those he’s banished to the cornfield. The adults smile nervously and tell him that he’s a good boy, hoping that Anthony’s terrible power won’t be turned upon themselves.

Comment: Substitute a big person for the arbitrarily vindictive little boy and this story also gives a general idea of how groups, including families, work when they are dominated by narcissists. But bear in mind that there’s a necessary requirement for such a reign of terror to continue: the isolation of a captive audience. One of the ways tyrannical narcissists isolate their captives is by telling them that they must keep secret what goes on inside or face dreadful punishment, because they’re so special that no one outside the group is capable of understanding them — and, of course, the longer members stay inside “Peaksville” the less likely they will be understood by outsiders, so isolated specialness becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

This war is a mistake, the muslim brotherhood or acadia running the country would be 1000 times worse. When bush goes to war he worried who going to take it over, not Zero!

Your "cornfield" is spot on given the literal idiot savants in charge are subsidizing the tearing up of more acreage to plant corn, NOT for food but to process into 'gas'.

Actually, second thinking, the idiot savants cannot help their plight, and I seriously doubt their extraordinary skills are willfully plotted and planned for self service. So not sure how accurate it is to call these destroyers idiot savants.

Indeed it is a mistake. When terrorists are helping the free world by killing each other, we should let them.

If I could advise them, I would tell them they should commit suicide, (for the children,) to reduce CO2 emissions, and when they expired, plant them near cornfields so they could replenish the earth. That is about the only useful thing they can do as far as I am concerned. Fertilizer.
