Guilt saps the will sometimes.
Where is Rommel now that WE need him?
Reminded of what Biden said in the West interview
BIDEN: “Are you joking? Is this a joke?”
Should we ping Gadaffi so he knows the timeline, how long he needs to last? Or can we count on at least one of his thousands of agents to pass the “good” news on to the colonel?
Now, let’s see, NATO has won the following wars: .................... (I’m thinking, just hang on)........
The NATO policy and bombings in Libya are such a cluster ####..... I have no problem in principle with getting rid of Gadhafi, but to undertake a military intervention in such a hare-brained manner, and now to be “exhausted” by it after 90 days, this reflects the imminent collapse of NATO as a meaningful alliance.
Don’t go in at all unless you have the means and the will to win. That should be the obvious lesson of many events over the past century, yet the Euros assumed that Gadhafi’s regime would just collapse as soon as they heard that France was mad.
Exhausted in 90 days....with allies like these, who needs enemies?
1. France and the UK call for a war against Khadaffi and browbeat the USA into shouldering most of the burden. The UN gives authority to use air power to protect civilians Khadaffi is allegedly massacring. Hillary says Khadaffi must go, along with the UK and France.
2. Obama gets cold feet and says 'Days, Not Weeks' then pretends that US military involvement has ceased. Bill Mahrer insists it's over and stop talking about Libya on his show. Germany pulls it's troops.
3. France and the UK use the UN resolution to hunt Khadaffi down with bombs. Other NATO nations start looking for a way out. It is revealed that the USA never drew down it's forces. Obama spins this by saying Khadaffi must go.
4. The Libyan rebels turn out to be ridiculous homos. They start cutting deals with Yemen and Sudan over oil sales they've absconded from Libya.
5. France declares that the Libyan rebels must make peace with Khadaffi as if this whole idea about starting a war with Libya isn't theirs. Panetta says that the USA will have to fill in the gaps when the UK and France soon pull out after exhausting themselves.
So, once again, America gets sucked into a faraway war on behalf of a French military failure to support a bunch of pussies who won't fight and want to let the USA shoulder the fighting against a divided country in 'police action' that Americans don't understand, don't want to be in, without Congressional approval, in order to prevent a 'Domino Effect' from sweeping the region?
Can we officially call this 'Obama-Nam', yet?
So going up against the mighty Libyan military and its brilliant leader exhausts NATO. Thank God it did not have to go up against the USSR or Russia.
Pinky and the Brain could take over Europe.
Gadhafi wins!
Why announce to your enemy that you will be unable to carry on the fight in 90 days?
Now all Ghaddaffy has to do is hole up in a cave somewhere and wait.
The world is crazy nowadays.
Reuters with their thumb on the scale again, trying to give their favorite leaders another small boost under the radar.
Russia’s fueling their tanks for a reconquest of Eastern Europe about now. Why stop at the historic borders? Just keep going until they reach the Atlantic and the North Sea.
