This is Obama not making war:
I’m sure that when William Ayers was bombing the Pentagon, he would have denied that he was engaging in hostilities. Just, you know, trying to encourage reforms in the other party.
Didn’t they say this is a kinetic military action? In that case, then, we’re saying it’s something else, not hostilities.
We’re in Orwell’s 1984, aren’t we? Now we have to debate the meaning of hostilities and other terms used to describe what we’re doing in Libya.
This is starting to sound like Bill Clinton defining the word “is”. As long as the Obamabots think they can call this something other than hostilities, they will stick with that and ignore any effort from Congress to get compliance with the War Powers Act.
These little skirmishes with canned speeches, teleprompters, mouthpieces and minions. Or a president that is convincing with what he says, instead of just arrogance and aloofness.
When are we going to see a real broadside across the bow of the White House? And RATS fleeing from the sinking ship.
The postmodern mind at work. White is black if a liberal says it is.
So killing people in libya is only hostile if they manage it to fire back?
They’re not just Smart Bombs, they are also Nice Bombs.
Who’s responsibility (constitutionally and legally) to make that determination?
Is it the President?
Is it the Senate?
Is it the House of Representatives?
Is it the Supreme Court?
Is it one (or both) parties?
Is it the Press?
Is it the American People (By popular vote)?
Is it the CIA or FBI?
I believe it is the House of Representatives.
(we will just have to wait and see now this is resolved to determine if our constitution is still a valid document.)
Thats not a bomb. That is just a pat on Gaddafi’s backside.
They are bombs of peace, love & harmony.
Nothing like evil, hateful Republican bombs!
It’s deja-vu all over again. In the 1950s, with a dimocRAT in the White House, we started a war against communism in Korea....and we STILL have troops deployed there 60 years later!. But the RATS played word games then, too. They said it was only a “Police Action.” This time they haven’t even bothered to make up a phony-baloney name for it!
This is Obama not making war:
None of this crapola is “war.” In war, you try to kill the enemy with extreme prejudice and you don’t waste time worrying about anyone who happens to get in the way. And you just kill them and kill them and kil them until they give up.
People should Google “bombed out Dresden” to see what war is. Or, Hiroshima.
What the USA does nowadays is expeditonary military/bureaucratic nation building operations that are open-ended and by and large pointless because they occur in backwater places that are inhabited by rabid mongrels.
What people call “war” should be called “great big wastes of money and (mainly) young American lives.”
Or, “stupidity” for short.
When this thing with Libya started, the WH issued the new term “KINETIC MILITARY ACTION”.
Now, you know why.
We’ve burned $1 billion in 90 days. Time to stop helping the Muslim
Brotherhood sieze another country.
I think that I have read several article that quoted foreign officials, saying that the US is most definitely in the lead role of the NATO actions against Libya.
Any judge who buys that weak argument is a fool.
Oh, I get it, CIA advisers are not considered, “boots on the ground.” It sounds a lot like the beginning of the Vietnam War.
Firing a hundred cruise missiles into the country doesn’t constitute hostilities? Who knew?
Smack Obama with a wet noodle and a Congress. Where the hell is code pinko.........
You see, his client is meek, mild-mannered and law abiding.
He wears no uniform. He carries no weapons.
He's not a soldier, he's a delivery boy. Sure, he delivered a satchel to a crowded theater, but he did so quietly, with no hint of violence or hostility.
Just like the airman who remotely pilots drones, he was nowhere near when it went off. There's no blood on his hands...
