Good old Obama (it depends on what the meaning of ‘is’ is). So much for the no boots on the ground pledge; He can fly them in for tactical missions on helicopters and fly out who ever survives but never have “based” any US troops in Libya.

Why are we attacking a nation that did not attack us?

Why are there not impeachment hearings this week?

Why is Obama going to the UN rather than the US Congress?

Why is the professional protesting left silent?

Reminds me of Vietnam - the liberals started it, botched it, and because their presidents got us into it, most of them were strangely mum until Richard Nixon took office (remember Walter Mondale, who supported it down the line while LBJ was president, then turned up at an antiwar rally on the Washington Mall on the day Nixon was inaugurated?) I can see the same thing happening here - the California twins, Pelosi and Boxer, are strongly for it, imagine if it bogs down — what their position will be, especially if a Dem is no longer president. Just what we need - a third Middle East war.

We're putting ourselves in harms way....and we likely will get hit...and then we can say...they did it....and they have to pay.

Where the hell is Congress??

It’s just a trial balloon.

Can he get the U.S. military to follow an illegal order? Yep - but that’s just air support and a no fly zone. Can he get ground troops for this illegal operation which was never approved by Congress or the American people? Yep, they’re on thier way.

If he can do this, will anyone in the military say “No sir” when he orders up the same “kinetic action” to prevent deaths of poor innocent Palestinians at the hands of the IDF? That’s next, this was a test. It seems to me that the military will follow the commander in chief, whether the order is illegal or not. He’s just set precedent and has eased them into what’s next.

But I probably just need to put my tin foil back on.

“Kinetic” = “relating to or produced by motion.”

Examples: BO dancing in Rio; BO playing basketball; BO playing golf; BO sending Marines to Libya and telling them to keep their feet off the ground.
