(One sentence breaking article is same as headline.)
Now I know why President Obama is in Chile. Chile is right next to Bolivia, and he probably thinks he’s very close to the country going through this huge crisis: BO-LIBYA.
Get it?
Even US policy is not clear. Hillary wants Gudaffi removed from power and a possible occupation force similar to the Iraq CPA under Bremmer, Obama wants only airstrikes (but is easily swayed), and Congress has not weighed in on this yet.
By Christmas his stepmother had died, and not long after his grandmother also died. His father lost all three of them within weeks.
We’re stuck now. We should have stayed out of it. Now we have to wipe out Gaddafi, or he’ll be another Saddam; a longterm menace with a burning desire for revenge. Congratulations Obama, you backed us, unassuredly and waivering into another war of choice that now becomes kill or be killed.
Just like another UN-sponsored military action: The Korean War (1950-1953).
“Die for a Tie.”
MIA as usual.
So the anti-war community organizer who promised to get us out of our other 2 wars has now gotten us into a 3rd war defending radical muslims who hate us. Where is the media outrage? Where are the anti-war protesters condemning him as Hitler? Perhaps we should be patient as I am sure that will come. /s
My I dare offer a suggestion? Increase the bombing. Destroy all of their air force. Destroy their Army garrisons. Sink their Navy, destroy their naval facilities and send it to Davey Jones Locker. Destroy their civilian aircraft out at that airport-—they could be used as terrorist weapons. Destroy all government buildings, political headquarters. Let it rain bombs 24 hours a day for 30 days and 30 nights. Break their will to fight. If it flies, it dies. Send in a few special ops teams to coordinate on the ground and laser priority targets. And that’s just a beginning.
We also get to blow up a lot of equipment...test out war “toys” and limit the oil price hike...We also get to test out some different strategies re the mideast, Iran.
“the map is not the territory”
Its not about the “obvious humanitarian issue.”
Just call me cynically realistic.
Our economy is down...and as the commies used to say “ Capitalism needs a war every so often.”
Good analysis...better than mine, ha.
Me, trying to figure out what this Petrobas deal Obozo did means? One would think that the MSM would tear him up over that...Uh, what am I thinking?
B1 or B2, so who’s counting>?ha.
Sometimes I feel like I am behind a curtain and hear noises on the other side and try to describe the reality on the other side...I more and more feel like we have NOOOO idea what the F they are all doing.
“Stalemate With Gadhafi Is Possible Outcome of Bombardment”
Oh, great. The “coalition” is already falling apart, and now we have a general all but admitting/declaring defeat in less than half a week.
This just pisses me off. We have no business doing this, and we need to stay OUT of ALL such uprisings in the Middle East. This is something that, as painful as it may be for the people there, they need to sort out for themselves and by themselves. Western military involvement has no place in any of this. This just will spawn bad repercussions for us, as if we need any more.
This is not our battle. We also need to get out of Iraq and Afghanistan. I think I’m starting to sound like Ron Paul, lol, but hell, so be it, this coalition is a bust with no clear plan of action and no exit plan, and it’s just going to turn into a cluster*&^% for us.
but the Brits and French pushed the dimwit to side with the folks screaming about how the women folk and children where being harmed. And caved in, once sufficient number of countries sided with the warm and fuzzy feelings that the UN sponsored.
A really honest analysis. Many including myself certainly agreed from the start on just keeping out of Khadafi's whole mess, developing our own energy, and screw the dependent world. But it's also true that our European globalist friends (and I don't intend that as sarcasm, that's just the way they now must posture themselves) certainly have pressured the US for involvement given its military resources (world policeman). And admittedly that would, as a US globalist, be very difficult to reject.
In a very graphic way this illustrates the whole point of recent US leadership. NOBODY but NOBODY has the guts or leadership to exert our sovereignty, and consequently the US is being played as global fools. And that includes internal manipulators, e.g. Soros, the CFR.
We said the other day on a thread, in the recent decades of US politics there has been NO leadership on domestic or foreign issues. One of the reasons "they" hate Sarah Palin, and I'm no Palin sycophant; it's just she seems to be the only one with the balls to declare America's opportune position.
As legitimate honest US citizens, subject to the dollar, subject to the elitist politicians, we are in real real trouble because of global a**holes. Obama is a front.

Well JS. How could I but say dittos to all you added.
The only way to win is a boots on the ground guerilla war.
Meanwhile, why are we even involved. The Valkyries Rice, Powers and Clinton declared war on Kadaffy. Obama went to party in Rio, Congress said and declared nuthin, and a hundred missiles rain down on Libya because? he kills his citizens? He kills our citizens!
If the aim is regime change - to get rid of Gaddaffi - then say so and go for it. If it isn't, or we dont have the stomach for that, stop pretending it's something else.
