When the Nation starts making more sense than the current administration, something's wrong.

That’s funny as hell and profoundly sad at the same time.
Post of the week, buddy.

when the United States exercises military force it has some profound, moral, life-saving character to it.

Unless it's an (R) doing the exercising...

...remember the mobs of cheering Libyians that turned out to welcome home the Pan Am 103 bomber?....well, that’s who Obama’s women want to save....screw ‘em all I say....let Gadaffi’s loyal Muslims kill the rebel Libyian Muslims....or vice versa....I could care less...we intervened to help Muslims in the Balkans and where did that get us?

The idea that women in power would mean no war has always been contradicted by history. Boudicca, Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, Elizabeth I, Catherine the Great, Golda Meir, Margaret Thatcher, and several others disprove the myth.

I wonder if we'll see the Code Pink “No War for Oil” “Give Peace a Chance” folks protesting in the streets and comparing Obama to Hitler and claiming he is murdering children like they did with GWB? I'm not going to hold my breath...

It’ll be a hell of a blame game when it doesn’t work...

When my son who is currently in Special Forces was in high school ROTC, they had an elite unit of about 10. I spoke with most of these boys and found out that their mothers were strong active people. In Spain bull fighting circles there is a Testing of the Cows to see which are the strongest and bravest before they select them for breeding. I always said it is the mother that makes the warrior, and now that women can get to the top, they can be the warrior. Remember Golda Meir, Indira Ghandi, and Banizir Bhutto.

Now that's funny....

Imho, the US military should be used to protect and promote US interests. Period. A better course of action would be to arm both sides in Libya and let them kill each other. I also hope some stray bomb manages to completely annihilate the Lockerbie bomber.

I was just wondering if the wise move would be to help keep the pro Gaddafi forces from overwhelming the rebels while not stopping Gadaffi completely. Kind of create an equalized battlefield where they both just keep killing each other off.

Yet, now we are allied with Al Quaeda? Whe helped them against the Russians in Afghanistan, and they attacked us? Why do we think this time it will be different?

“Kind of create an equalized battlefield where they both just keep killing each other off.”

....remember a while back when Iran and Iraq went to war for 8 years?...that’s what we need here.

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..

A successful coup d’etat occurs usually when the president is out of the country.

Jamie Colby on Fox just referred to President Hillary Clinton.

It would be better than what we’ve got. Rush had the right advice for voting strategy in the democrat presidential primaries. Japan is in nuclear meltdown, Europe is working with Arabs in concerted action against Libya, the middle east is falling apart in Yemen, Syria and Bahrain, Egypt in disarray, with Muslim brotherhood taking over, and Obowma is partying on with the commies in Rio.

So who’s in the new “coalition of the willing”? So far, it looks like it’s the United States, the British, the French, and that bastion of democracy, the United Arab Emirates.

Well, unlike Nation's favorite bastions of democracy - Cuba, Venezuela, Bolivia, Nicaragua, West Bank and Gaza, Iran...
