That must have been some good letter.
Obama’s foreign policy - political onanism (google it)

For some reason I don't think they are refugees.
To me EVERY young Arab male is a terrorist-in-waiting. And the women and kids have to be suspected as their tools.
hey look Ma, no bawls!
Hillary was saying yesterday that air strikes alone wouldn’t be enough for the rebels to win. What do you suppose she was getting at?
0 can point to his 'plan' and say he achieved his goals, withdrew as planned, therefore he is a superior commander-in-chief.
Fortunately, most superior commanders-in-chief don't start out with the plan to quit.
This was less a lite version of Reagan attacking Libya for killing Americans than it was a repeat of Clinton's bombing some irrelevant targets in Iraq when things got a little hot for him.
NATO did not resolve some technical blocks which prevent us from supporting this mission. No one pushed-back to have these issues resolved so we withdrew.
In a greater context Libya is not a regional issue. This is a matter of Libyan national interest so I see no big deal in withdrawing. It’s not in our interest to defacto involve ourselves in civil wars.
At the outset of hostilities in Libya, Obama should’ve done something he never seems to be able to do... and that’s to STFU and stay out of it. Unless a threat vs. American national security exists... IT’S NOT OUR FIGHT!
Now... as he does with everything else Obama touches, the situation is FUBAR.
This is what happens when America elects goofy leftist village idiots with no executive experience to the White House.
Bump.
“ITS NOT OUR FIGHT!”
So true, so true.
And one more thing that we can’t afford.
Correct.
Let the Arab League take care of them.
Weaken the will, then win through attrition.
Did we suffer any casualties - besides our national credibility and several hundred million dollars?
Anyone hear anything?
One thing has been brought to the fore-—our so-called allies in NATO have no military capability worthy of the name.
Two weeks ago I read a Daily Mail article claiming that the RAF had only EIGHTEEN (!!) fighters available for duty in the Mediterranean.
And not enough pilots to fly them.
We have gotten our “allies” spoiled to the point of uselessness.
