At once presumptuous and flippant, President Obama used a Saturday audio recording from Brazil to inform Americans he had authorized a third war -- a war in which America's role is unclear and the stated objectives are muddled.

what is his exit strategy?
and
How does he define success?
and
At what exact date will we end this illegal occupation?
and
When did he LIE to us about the Arabs supporting this action? because now they are complaining about our crusader aggression.
and
Can he prove to us this isn't just about the OIL in Libya? Because we wouldn't want to be shedding blood for oil!

Nope,it’s like The Korean War (Peace Action)
A friend just reminded me that Obama’s grandmother paid a visit to Kaddafi in the not-to-distant past. Imagine that. This is like a family feud!
Daffy rants like a mad man with threats he cannot credibly follow through on, and seems to offer no rational plan for sympathizers he hopes to keep. Little wonder that he’s losing ground quickly in his little civil war to al-Qaeda and the Moose Brudders.
I wonder what his children think about their father authorizing an illegal war to kill muslims?
He’s trying an end run on Congress by getting the UN to invite him into this mess and then standing on UN treaties to prosecute a non-war “war.”
This guy has so many mothers and fathers and grandmothers and grandfathers I can't keep track of who's who without a scorecard.
He asked the only entity that he has a shred of respect for.
Evidently the UN Security Council (with 5 members abstaining) trumps the Constitution of The United States according to the Indonesian-Kenyan.
The stupidity and arrogance of Obuggery knows no bounds.
Gates! Texas A&M called. They want you to take their name off your resume.
