What happened to no boots on the ground??

Here is what the Marines are being issued, no weapons, no boots.

That hussein guy is a mooslimb with integrity and truthfulness.

So we’re going to have boots on the ground?

heck, you are talking about an exit strategy while Barry and his French euro-pals are still floundering over an entry strategy

[Possible Carney Press Conference]: It's quite simple. The president said we will not send 'ground troops' in to Libya. The U.S. Marines are a part of the U.S. Navy. Also, the Marines are 'amphibious' troops and therefore spend at least some of their time on the water. Thus, they clearly cannot be considered 'ground troops'. Mr. Obama did not lie!

Please move along, there is nothing to see here...

PS - How long before the administration itself, or at least some sycophantic NYT or WaPo columnist, actually seriously puts forth the above argument to defend 'The One'

Everybody knew that once the bombing started that meant ground troops eventually. Sad but no surprise.

Does that mean it is not accurate?

It’s a Marine History Tour. They’ve just visited the Halls Of Montezuma, and now they’re headed for the Shores of Tripoli.

No war, here...move on...keep that line moving...

I completely disagree, sir. We committed an act of war upon a sovereign nation. Whether we should have or not is another question. The point is that NO president has the authority to do so without evidence that the United States is either under attack or that an attack is imminent. Only Congress (weak-willed and self-justifying peacocks though they may be) has that right and responsibility.

In boot camp they call sneakers “go-fasters”. Shower shoes (aka flip-flops) are called “Jesus go-fasters”.

Obama is Carter on steroids. Just another reason he WON’T get re-elected in 2012.

I thought there were to be no “boots on the ground”.

I remember that too. Please pass the popcorn, this is going to be good...

our forces are doing both as part of the U.S commitment to protect Libyan citizens

And when they get done, these same citizens, no matter how greatful, will still be muslims and we'll still be infidels.

I guess I'm just not all that worked up about shedding US blood to save people who are trained to hate us.

I sure hope Hillary, Biden and a few other democrats are planning on pulling the president’s dance card when he gets back.

0bama is out of control. It is time for something to shake this administration’s progressive tree.


...and a question I think more and more Democrat Party insiders are asking themselves these days, myself included. I am going to come right out and say it – No. Obama is not up to the job of being president. He simply doesn’t seem to care about the work involved. You want to know what? Obama is lazy. He really is. And it is getting worse and worse. Would another four years of Obama be the best thing for America? No it would not. What this country needs is a president who is focused on the job more than on themselves. Obama is not that individual. I actually hope he doesn’t run again.

to paraphrase von Clausewitz, the Marines are not ground troops, they are a projectile to be fired by the Navy ..... ?

Maybe someone ought to buy Barry a copy of “On War”, if they can find an illustrated large print version

It's not a 'right', it is one of congress's powers.

Individuals have rights. Governments have powers.

and now they are joining the fight against Libya.

WTF?

"We're not in a War" -- Obama

"There'll be no American ground troops in Libya" -- Obama

Thanks for RR’s explanation of his decision to pull out of Lebanon. I did not know that (but often wondered what the 7734 was he thinking).

Impeach Barack Obama.
