The Obama Administration won’t send the military to rescue US citizens in Libya.

The Obama Administration is STILL grappling with whether or not to send the military into Libya to rescue US citizens.
CNN reported, via HotAir:
The senior U.S. official also said the “prudent planning” for military options centers around the president’s priorities of...blah,blah..

Remember, he said we could absorb some losses.
The Americans are white, so there ya go.
China has already rescued about 3000 of their people and we can’t even get 600 out?
Nice looking boat... But 600 people have been on it for several days? Not so nice.
Must be white people bitterly clinging to their bibles, like off of Somalia.
Leave the guy alone he is busy coaching his daughters basketball games.
For the first time in 31 years we don’t have a carrier group in the Med!
My take: 1. Obama dithers, not wanting to hurt his little buddy Kadaffy. 2. Palin kicks his ass. 3. Obama says Uh- Oh I better make a stronger statement “oh I just dithered because I wanted to get Americans out first” (lie). 3. Half-hearted attempt to remove Americans from Libeeyah (sp) sort of begins.
I hope Barky has thought to provide an US Navy escort for that ferry. It would be a tempting target for Qadaffy.
Incompetence no matter his agenda. The man is a dolt. Those people are Americans, and need to be brought home safely, and this guy can’t get off his ass, and do the job.
He’s a jerk. A street punk. He’s bullshit on steroids, and has not an ounce of business being elected to the most responsible job in the entire World.
Some within HIS administration have to have enough sense to coach him on certain things that could be for the good of even this country he hates so damned much.
Leave it to Obama to send a fairy boat to do a man’s job.
Well said, I salute you.
I hate to say this, but because of the publicity of this failed planned rescue, you can bet jihadist now have their sites on this rescue vessel. Especially since Zero has not sent any ships to escort this vessel. I am beginning to get concerned for the safety of these folks onboard.

Well RINO Romney said in one of the 2008 debates in that he would check with the lawyers before he sent in the troops so Barry may be still playing a round of golf with the advisors...
after all Barry and Romney are Lite versions of each other...
Neither have ever served in the military, one losing his selective service records and the other a two time draft dodger..
and both disrespect and hate the military and think the troops a joke...
You have no idea how furious and nervous this makes me. I am a mother and a grandmother with a daughter and granddaughter currently in Bahrain under the auspices of the State Department.
Should they need to be evacuated as is the case in Libya and Obambi pulls this stunt again I will not only be ready to spit nails, but I will end up in jail for what I will say and probably try to do to that treasonous usurper sitting in the white hut if anything should happen to them because of his incompetence. God help me but the parents of those wives and children on that ferry have to be going through hell and back right now.
Believe me I know EXACTLY how they feel. Prayers for family and for the safety of all those on board that ferry. And yeah I’m praying for someone to grow a spine and some cajones and IMPEACH that SOB! What’s it going to take GOP? A nuke to go off over Chicago?

As pointed out this week (last week?), Obama doesn't listen to anybody but a select few of his fellow traveler communist buddies. He hasn't talked to even half of his cabinet since they were appointed, but he talks to Trumka (Top Union Dog-Thug) damn near every day.
NY Mag: Obama Has Yet to Meet With a Half Dozen Cabinet Members
