We've shifted from mission creep to mission jump. How come Obama didn't mention any of this last night? Did they just think this up during the night?

McCain on Fox&Friends this morning:

says it’s okay to arm the rebels,

says we know who they are because France and other countries have recognized them.

The news is fast and furious this morning.

Now NATO is delaying taking over the mission.

At the rate we’re going we’ll have 100,000 troops on the ground by 9AM.

McCain on F&F

says Obama made a good case for attacking Gadaffi forces to protect citizens and stop the massacre.

[With Pubbies like that, Obama doesn’t even need the Liberal Lefties.]

NATO taking over?

Isn't NATO mostly US forces and token Euro participation just to show how multi-national it is?

How can "WE" taking over for "US" be different

They probably heard the Liar-In-Chief last night say everything was OK, then this morning heard we were arming the rebels and pulled out in anger. I would if I were them.

0bambi ain't right in the head.

This is going to be the event which ultimately does in the Obama presidency.

Libya will be Carters Iraq.

And, because of his arrogance, he will not even have the cover of a congressional resolution to fall back on.

Didn’t the RATS want to impeach Reagan for arming the contras in Nicaragua? How the worm changes and we have no idea of what these rebs stand for. You can be that they’re Muslim and will install Sharia Law. We need regime change in the USA!

Impeachment is imperative.

I’m serious.

Either that, or seven days in May.

You oldsters know what I mean.

We are in deep trouble with this President and this Administration in power.
