Mr. Scope Creep is ready to make his appearance.
Like some kind of cowboy.
As I understand it, those missiles cost somewhere between 1 and 2 million apiece.
Obama Fires First Salvo In 2012 Reelection Campaign
After the French had to take the lead...
Looked like a very very expensive fireworks show on TV. Apparently, BO told the Congressmen yesterday that this would be over “in a few days.” Wanna bet?
110+ tomahawks @ $500,000 each for 20 sites?
I guess those 800 Marines off the coast are to be a future phase?
Obozo got a green light from the international community, but did he get a resolution from congress? Bush got congressional approval for both Afghanistan and Iraq, if you recall. And he still got heat from Code Pink, A.N.S.W.E.R. and other assorted hippie freaks. Where are they now?
Seems to me we could take the rubble from Fukushima and dump it in Libiya. Problem solved for both countries.
Phase III: Cap-n-Trade legislation where all Libyans must engage in a unionized Green Job with single payer health care
Michelle 0bama is finally proud of her country.
Quagmire.
No blood for oil.
Yeah, President Dunham-Marshall-Soetoro, we know war is more than a handful of Tomahawks. But your dipshit voters probably didn’t, so your Captain Obvious Update wasn’t totally in vain.

Gee, our (putative) president decides the DOM act violates the equal protection clause so the Dept. of Justice won’t enforce it (or our Immigration laws) and this military action is going to require several phases, apparently not requiring the input of either the judicial or legislative branches.
We could save a lot of money if we just did away with the two superfluous branches of government and made Obama king-for-life.
They want all the loon countries out of the way for their UNITY
IN DIVERSITY NWO currency and government. Obama will high five Gadaffy duck with some more money (SEE CAIRO) and some plant Libya leader will be put in that loves NWO.
