Does he? He says it is NATO’s.

We ARE NATO.
No we are not NATO.
France has a bigger part.
He has said no ground troops.
Last time he launched cruise missiles (December 09) he was out of the country collecting his peace prize.
Meanwhile American’s are asking what the hell is he doing.
And you believe him?
Bush’s fault. Bush made him do it.
The real story: Obamalini is desperately trying to wag the dog.
There are no “good guys” in the Libyan struggle, and we don’t have any national interest there that is worth the expenditure of a dollar, let alone an American life. This is going to backfire on Dear Leader. But then, again, stupid is as stupid does.
Obamalini’s action is going to intensify terrorism here and abroad. Just watch.
No Blood For Oil!!!! Okay, so where are the Pink Ladies or whoever?
It’s not “war” unless Congress declares it as such. So without a declaration of war at best we are engaged in a “law enforcement” or “humanitarian intervention” which always comes with ridiculous rules of engagement designed to prohibit American soldiers from firing upon anyone unless they first obtain 34 authorizations in writing and notarized. Check and see when was the last time Congress actually declared war on anything. The answer might surprise you.
I fail to see why they need our help at all. Both Britain and France have carriers and inflight fueling capabilities. I’m assuming they also have cruise missiles. (those are costing us some big bucks)
As far as the arab league is concerned, its time to take the training wheels off their jets and use the damn things.
[we don’t have any national interest there that is worth the expenditure of a dollar]
Well, you can make arguments on both sides. But what is clear is that if you are going to act, you can’t dither around for a week or two while the rebels you plan to support are decimated.
He has said no ground troops.

I hope you are kidding. We will have to put people on the ground to rebuild the stuff we are blowing up now. It won’t be cheap either.
That is the American way now. We could blow up a tent and feel compelled to replace it with a 5 star resort.

Since France is fer it.. I’ll bet Francois Kerry is fer it too..
