Bush went to war against Iraq because it was a threat to us and the world and went through innumerable UN resolutions, that's how Saddam had plenty of time to hide and take out of the country the WMD, yet the left was attacking Bush, that deposing a dictator is not sufficient excuse to go to war against another country.

Yet, Obama is doing exactly that. How does Obama explain getting involved in Libya, but doing nothing, when the Irani Mullah's killed protesters, who wanted democracy?

[Clairity]

Irani Mullahs — I know grammar... sorry.

[dfwgator]

What doubts? This is stupid.

I consider this payback for Pam Am 103...

You guys who are against this simply because its Obama’s war wouldn’t be if this had occurred under Bush.

I don;t like Obama anymore than the next Conservative but, its long since past time we exacted a little bit of justice from him, especially since the so called release of the Lockerbie Bomber.

I hope he caught one of our TLAMS...

Mister Obama finds a war

* Published: 21/03/2011 at 12:00 AM

Libya is entirely Mr Obama’s war, compared with the Afghanistan and Iraq conflicts started by his predecessor. The US military opposed taking action in Libya, but Secretary of State Hillary Clinton convinced Mr Obama to reject the Pentagon’s advice.

Already complaints are coming in from the Arab League that the “allied” air strikes are killing the proverbial “innocent civilians.” Just takes the heat off Gadaffy for his killings.

Could this be more Cloward Piven strategy? Spread us thinner and thinner, spending more and more and bring on the ultimate collapse?

Obama is counting on the fact that the U.N. 'approved' the 'no-fly zone' in Libya and, unlike the Iraq war, France and Great Britain are helping us. He assumes that, as he promised, if we don't put any U.S. troops on the ground we can 'keep our hands clean' and, he hopes, still topple Moammar Gadhafi. That would give Obama the appearance of being 'tough' and although it will momentarily infuriate the hard left, it's worth it to him if he can convince independents that he is not really pro-terrorist.

The Libyan adventure is also a great distraction from Obama's problems with the weak U.S. economy and his contentious budget. Obama doesn't have congressional approval for this military action and although the Republican majority in the House may approve of the 'no-fly-zone' being established in Libya with the goal of helping the rebels, who may or may not be able to win this essentially civil war. Gadhafi doesn't look as if he is going to give it up any time soon and this could end up a disaster.

Libya is not critical to U.S. interests and I'm skeptical that the 'no-fly zone' will be effective to the point of allowing the rebels to overthrow the Gadhafi regime. We also hardly know who we're helping but, it's a little late now. I hope this ends well but I see it as a ploy for Obama and one that is problematic. Still, it's a great opportunity to remind leftists about how G. W. Bush invading Iraq to overthrow Saddam Hussein was characterized as an impeachable offense, etc, in 2003. Now, Obama is engaging in an overseas military action, albeit with U.N. 'approval' and a European partnership, that is far less justified as Bush's invasion of Iraq was 8 years ago that was opposed by Obama. Can we say 'hypocrite'? I thought so.

On Saturday, President Obama while visiting Brazil launched a United Nations war without obtaining Congressional approval.

So WHO is running the show...The Collectivist in Chief or The Sociopath of State...and why is Congress cowering in the corner (especially the republicans)?

Why are we paying these dolts in D.C.?

[Beckwith]

The Iraq War was also voted on by Congress.

Even a blind squirrel gets a nut every now and then. Much as I hate to say it, His Uselessness is right on this one.

Let us not forget that qadaffi BUTCHERED 189 Americans in the skies over Lockerbie. He’s many years overdue for his eternal dirtnap.

[South Dakota]

I would rather have the devil that fears us then the uncertainty of who will come to power when Qaddafi is gone

This was a double diss. Two middle fingers raised at America. By Obama the hater.

First Middle Finger Raised: (1) I, Obama the Dictator, am sending YOUR children, fathers, brothers and husbands to a war I, and I alone, have declared. A war where I ally you with the same enemies and same motives of those forces that attacked you on 9/11, at the USS Cole, in Somalia, and at Beirut. A war for no clear purpose, of no clear outcome -- a war that will go on and on drawing your blood and wealth away from you.

I spurn and mock your elected representatives, your Constitution, your historical precedents. I have no regard but spite for your opinion, for your laws, America. I, Obama, order you to fight and die, just because I can, because I hate you. I hate America, I hate your power, I will ruin it forever, and poison you from within, and your pride and hope, your heritage will change -- it will rot off. Your limbs will turn putrid and drop off you as you watch.

I, Obama, and my beloved partner Micehlle, enjoy every bit of the frustration, despair and agony we will force you to suffer.

Second Middle Finger Raised: To show you how little I care for you America, how much I despise you I give this order -- I shall display my absolute power over you and my utter disdain for you by issuing that order to you, you scum, you trash -- here come your chickens home to roost, America -- while I, the One, the PRESIDENT, the WINNER, YOUR COMMANDER, your COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF, -- am not even in your country. Instead I give this order, like a ancient LORD lifts a pinky to order another peeled grape from the slaves in waiting, on his pleasure yacht in the Nile, while I and my posse are on a grand pleasure trip to Brazil, where the third world elite and the barrio-dwellers both adore me, as me, the great Obama.

Now go you American scum, and suffer for My Imperial Amusement!

Pitt has lost, my brackets are busted, I must find my pleasures and delights otherwise. So go, you red-state dogs and worms -- I order your beloved ones to fall to calamities of my creation.

[CdMGuy]

Boehner’s statement in support of Obama is absurd. It just confirms my concerns that Boehner is an azzhole. We Republicans will rue the day that he was elected Speaker. As Bugs Bunny would say, “What a maroon!”

Can anyone, I mean anyone, tell me who these rebels are and what we can expect from them if they win? My bet is on Muslim extremism.

[Typical_Whitey]

Oh stop it silly.... He won the Nobel Peace Prize.... any war he starts is a war for Peace don’t you get it?

Its like all different and stuff. Its not like when that evil Republican, Bush did you know, killing all them muslims and stuff, thats all Republicans just want to kill off all the poor people and black people and muslims by sending them to war and stuff...

LOL...

[Typical_Whitey]

The should be the very first question to Obama from the media......

Mr. President do you feel that you owe George W. Bush an apology?

Obama will get so tongue screwed his head will pop off....

[Navy Patriot]

"Now let me be clear — I suffer no illusions about Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal man. A ruthless man. A man who butchers his own people to secure his own power. He has repeatedly defied UN resolutions, thwarted UN inspection teams, developed chemical and biological weapons, and coveted nuclear capacity. He’s a bad guy. The world, and the Iraqi people, would be better off without him. But I also know that Saddam poses no imminent and direct threat to the United States, or to his neighbors, that the Iraqi economy is in shambles, that the Iraqi military a fraction of its former strength, and that in concert with the international community he can be contained until, in the way of all petty dictators, he falls away into the dustbin of history. I know that even a successful war against Iraq will require a US occupation of undetermined length, at undetermined cost, with undetermined consequences. I know that an invasion of Iraq without a clear rationale and without strong international support will only fan the flames of the Middle East, and encourage the worst, rather than best, impulses of the Arab world, and strengthen the recruitment arm of al-Qaeda. I am not opposed to all wars. I’m opposed to dumb wars."
