I do career mentoring in my town with high school kids. Its kind of like Big Brother, Big Sister. A year ago I let my 16-year-old mentee, who had a drivers permit, drive my car from the school to my house while I was in the passenger seat. He was doing great until it was time to park in the garage. As he pulled in he suddenly hit the gas and was head toward a wall that would lead into my living room. Not wanting him to put a car through my house, I screamed for the kid to slam on the brakes and he did at the last possible second. We avoided near disaster but the car had wicked damage along the side from him scraping up against an A/C unit in the garage. That was the last day I let him drive my car.
I was dumb enough to let someone unskilled drive my car. The Obama administration is insane enough to let someone unskilled drive a war in Libya. And the damage is getting worse and worse. The latest wreck in the battle against Qaddafi involves airstrike last Saturday morning on a completely non-military target.
Early in the morning, thankfully before disabled children showed up for school at the Libyan Down Syndrome Society, NATO pilots sent missiles into the school building. The attack destroyed a much-needed facility for disabled kids. The founder of the school, and a parent of a disabled teenager were shocked.

This is one of the oldest plays in the rag-head play-book.
The Palestinians have honed this tactic to a fine art form.
If it was our bombs, they were probably using faulty intel, and it’s a real shame. I am not convinced it actually took place, or even that that place was a school to begin win.
They could have moved school furniture fifty miles to make us look bad. I wouldn’t put this or anything else past them.
I agree, but even our heroess was egging it on.
We had no business whatsoever getting involved. Who are the bad guys there anyway? Kadaffi? The Al Qaeda members in the opposition? The Muslim Brotherhood?
Who are we fighting for?

Wow, something "almost" happened!
OK, imagine this headline; Chinese government to seize $30Byn American assets in support of THE New Black Panthers.
Obama is building the new Islamic caliphate.
What exactly was the American involvement in this action?
