I am posting this in amazement. Richard Cohen of the Washington Post, a Bush hater of the first order and one of Obama's staunchest Leftie supporters, has turned on him. This is a stunning development. The Muzlim world is experiencing rolling rebellions, in Japan millions of people are "sheltering in place" awaiting the next explosion at a nuclear power plant, gasoline prices in the US are nearing $4 a gallon -- and Obama spent the weekend golfing and talking about Women's History Month on the radio.

I’m at the point where I say let Muslims kill all the other Muslims they want. Fewer for us to have to kill in the end.

A country without a president. I keep saying this and will continue until he is replaced. For our own sake, this should happen sooner than later. If he is not replaced, things will get worse and it will be our own fault.

it’s too late. G-daffy’s forces are on a roll. it’s only a matter of time before the rebels are extinguished. the time for action was weeks ago when they had a chance. dithering by the west has cost the rebels the war.

Ben Rhodes of the National Security Council propounded what the Wall Street Journal has rightly called “The Obama Doctrine.” It goes like this: You first.

You first, cuz I gotta make my NCAA picks!

Not one American life to be lost for this cause. Let them kill each other. We can drill for oil here.

Mr Cohen just needs to strap on a DD1-227 COLT M203 40mm GRENADE LAUNCHER ON M16A2 20” GOVT PROFILE RIFLE UPPER and charter an old Dakota from Cairo to Tripoli because the President is very busy at the moment taping his NCAA picks . Then later he’s got a round of golf. His appointment secretary isn’t sure when he can get around to sabre rattling over Lybia.

Gaddafi has a long history as a killer — and must be stopped

Yet, according to the libs, Saddam Hussein did not have a long history as a killer, and must not be stopped? What about Castro, another lefty hero? How many Cubans must he torture and kill before the libs stop wearing T-shirts with his picture on them?

Richard Cohen, despite his liberal views, has had a long history of objective insight and isn't afraid to take a principled stand that flies in the face of his partisan leanings. Believe it or not, Cohen actually supported the U.S. invasion of Iraq back in 2003.

But I am just as consistent as he is, and I say now with regard to Libya (as I said then with regard to Iraq) that the U.S. has no business getting involved in a military campaign over there that we simply cannot win.

Mark my words Qaddafi is going to win and then take vengeance on Obozo.

We have the bucks. We have the expertise. We have the military.

What we don't have is a compelling reason to take him out, other than he's a nasty individual. And if that's the only reason, well the world is full of nasty individuals leading countries. Do we go after all of them?

Mr. Cohen, I say good luck with the UN, France, AUS, NZ and the rest of Europe who buys Libyan oil, helping you stop the Libyan nutjob.

In fact, most of the worlds problems don’t really affect us that much, so good luck with the UN, in fact, why not move the UN to Libya, Korea or Zimbabwe since that is where the problem is, not NYC.

Also, KMA. Drill baby, Drill!

What would replace Quaddafi?

Another pack of Mulsims led by Al Quaeda?

Is that a win?

If the Arabs feel they need a no-fly zone, let them set it up, they have their own Air Forces.

the leaders of North Korea, Iran, Syria, Sudan, Yemen, Burma, Zimbabwe, Russia and China - among others- also have histories of murder

so?

Bush took Saddam Hussein and his sons off the grid and faced sheer hell from Cohen and lefties for it, and now they expect Barry to grow a set?

The single worst thing we could do, is get involved.

Ghaddafi, will win, if things remain the same...is he a bastard, no doubt.

The real problem is the rebels there will be worse. a islamic republic will do one thing, try to expand and overtake more and more territory.

Animals they are, the islamic brotherhood is not stupid, they will appear to be benevolent, thank the west and accept aid in cash and weapons, right up until the day they attack us.

I say let Ghaddafi, kill them all then, let allah sort them out.

Richard Cohen, if you want American "boots on the ground" in Libya, let's start with yours. I'll even loan you an old pistol that ought to serve you well.

You go buy some boots at the mall, and I'll file the serial numbers off the pistol so that I'd have plausible deniability should you be captured by Gadaffi's forces wearing your new boots.

I'd rather Obama play golf that try to solve or fix anything.

Dunno why so many FReepers want the Gov't to be fixing or solving the worlds problems.
