I think 0bama intervened only because the additional cost of supporting the operations will bankrupt The Country sooner.
Mark Levin what a joke, I lost respect for him when he refused to address the BC issue.
Thank me very much.

This post is one of the most blatant pieces of rationalizing ever done to kiss up to Obama and his enablers. It even hides/distorts the fact such actions are to be taken only when this Nation is subject to imminent danger. Where in the posting does it say/prove imminent danger? Tell me why the USA has not used armed forces before in the multitude of similar situations. That such use of our armed forces has been done in the past for CinC purposes with excuses doesn’t give pass for the test of Constitutional correctness now. This is nothing more than an impostor proving he is CinC. some thing he never earned by volunteering for real military service.

Exceptions, of course, are candidates willing to throw big bucks of their own into TV and print advertising such as, currently, Donald Trump. He gets a lot of free air time and plenty of ink in the expectation that he'll shower money on the media should he decide to run.
You are right that we have two parties devoted to social work, though. Neither is particularly friendly to an old-fashioned concept called "freedom."
Some military veterans learn to appreciate the heavy responsibility that comes with waging war and spend the rest of their waking days trying to prevent it.
Others, and I have to put Rep. Duncan and his father in this category, look back at the wars they were a part of and, being survivors, may tend to underestimate the risks and overestimate the importance of "military action" relative to alternatives in achieving a desired result.
They view warfare from a different perspective than ordinary Americans because of their personal experience in the military, which does not necessarily qualify them to make national policy decisions but does, unfortunately, attract the civilian public's attention (and even admiration) when these veterans speak or write about current world events.
Personally, I'd have no more respect for 0bama if he'd worn a uniform before becoming President. The country has had its share of former military officers who made bad Presidents. Think of Kennedy, Nixon, Carter, and (almost) McCain and be thankful they didn't ruin the nation even more than they did.
Ooops, missed that one. When did it happen? What did he post that upset the Viking kitties?
Yeah, they both laced on the boots and put their asses on the line for their country.
Thanks. (I’ll be sure to keep any anti-Sarah thoughts to myself!)
We're not discussing the Hunters' willingness to fight for what is right. Rather, this thread is about the supposed power of the President to commit American military forces on the basis of a UN resolution and nothing more.
Rep. Hunter writes, rather unconvincingly, that he has that prerogative. Most of the comments posted here take the opposite view, some qualified by "we're supporting the wrong side."
If you have an opinion on that, let's have it.
Hunter never mentioned the UN. Why put words in Hunters mouth?
Now why don't you post a quote from Hunter's article that you disagree with.
Well not too many relatively speaking. In a nation of over 300 million there are about 20 mllion veterans.
I’ll buy your opinion about officers not necessarily making good POTUSA and throw in Grant to boot. However, as WWII vet just missing a possible Japan invasion and with a sole brother killed on Okinawa, I have an attitude about service people having given some special time with appreciation for opportunities this Nation historically has afforded. Military service gives a somewhat better understanding of what is really involved in the strength of this Nation, not that there are no pluses and minuses. I don’t know that I would want an Obama serving as he doesn’t impress me as one fit for military service in several ways. His only use of the military is for his own grandiosment as CinC. There are very good people without service who are qualified for POTUSA, I believe Cain is one , but communty organizers are not high on my list.

THe fact that Obama is a hypocrite doesn’t change the fact that Duncan Hunter is correct. In this instance, we have the added obligation of vengence for the Americans murdered by Ghaddafi.
If Ghaddafi remains, this was a waste of time. If he dies, this was justice delayed.
No matter what you think of the rebels, Al Queda or not, they can see that the US has an enormously long memory. If they threaten the US, we’ll kill them too. You’ve got two murderers in a room and only one bullet, today. Let’s settle the old business first.
