Liberals seem to be that way. Peace activists will resort to bloody violence to force their anti-war sentiments on you and even to get the U.S. to go to war on it. But they tire of it quickly and soon they are protesting the very war they encouraged. Vietnam, anyone?

So O is p-whipped?


No, they are positioning this so if it doesn’t go well, they can blame it on Hillary. They screwed her over to get Obama the nomination and they will screw her again on her way out.

Didn’t she say the other day that it was time for a woman to be President? And then she said that it wouldn’t be her.

Author Robert Dreyfuss is full of spin and feces though:
Hillary Clinton, Susan Rice, and Samantha Power... liberal interventionists... pushed Obama into accepting the demands of neoconservatives, such as the Weekly Standard's Bill Kristol, Joe Lieberman and John McCain, along with various other liberal interventionists outside the administration, such as John Kerry. The rode roughshod over the realists in the administration.
That's just total bullsh** -- the so-called neocon demands had NOTHING to do with any of this -- those three bitches wanted this because they wanted it. Does anyone actually expect us to believe that they'd push for the demands of Bill Kristol, Joementum, and John McCain, or even Lurch? Pulllease. Partisan media shills make me sick. Or more accurately, make me want to kick them into a live wood chipper.

I think Obama’s been purloining Michelle's progesterone cream.

“A caller to Rush yesterday made the observation - every foreign policy of Obama is aimed at suppressing or ousting anti Islamist forces and empowering Islamic radicals. Egypt, Libya, Iran, Israel..”

Bluntly, anyone who thinks coddling Libya and Iran is practical, much less sensible, has lost his freaking mind. And Obama hasn’t spoken up about these issues until forced to, leaving our foreign policy very muddled. He’s continued to show his characteristic cowardice and incompetence - not taking a stand on an issue until its conclusion is already inevitable.

However, we’ve made it our policy to remove middle eastern dictators for 10 years now, so it would become difficult to justify abandoning the principle at this point.

And I’ll be happy to see Gadaffi go. To an extent, I’m glad Obama has dragged his feet - it makes it more difficult for the usual suspects to say America was behind this (although I’m sure they will anyway).

I heard an interesting argument that Europe is able to invest a much higher percent of it’s GDP in social programs because we are their military back-up. We need to pressure them into carrying more of their own military burden, foot dragging helps promote this outcome. Obama is now speaking from Brazil announcing our launch of Tomahawk Missiles. He repeats we have no plans to put in ground troops. It was smart to get a unanimous vote from the Arab league.

There are 30 surface to air missile sites to take out, near Tripoli and Misrata and others. Will not take out sites near Benghazi. Saw elsewhere that Italy was now flying in addition to the French. Stationary sites will be easy to take out, the mobile ones will be the problem. Now Q’s govt. is begging UN to come and fact check. Divide and stir things up.

I believe I heard that caller (was in the other room). Was Rush’s response to that “what the caller said can’t be disproven”. ? (something like that)

Anyway, in any case the caller was spot-on.

The news is plastered with everything regarding Libya. It has been common knowledge that Europe keeps it military verse gross national product ratio low.
You heard right regarding European nations ratio between GDP and military spending.
