Possibility they are fading away until election time.
One can hope that their policy will become as dead as Bin Laden. I doubt it though.
A very good move on the part of Palin.
Thank you for that pic, onyx. You know it always makes me smile. And good morning to you.
Excellent and necessary move on Sara’s part. I am all in favor of separating from neocons and returning to a more conservative foreign policy. Way to go Sara!
Apparently, you didn't read the rest of your own post - "The attack was carried out in response to the 1986 Berlin discotheque bombing."
The War Powers Resolution of 1973 (50 U.S.C. 1541-1548) is pretty unequivocal in its prohibitions of military use of force without Congressional authority, except in some very specific circumstances that reach the threshold of "a national emergency created by attack upon the United States, its territories or possessions, or its armed forces."
A contemporaneous retaliation for a bombing targeting Americans would EASILY fit within those legal confines, this action wouldn't. Obama should have gone to Congress first. It's not complicated.
"So yes i would place him as one of americas most wanted."
And, if you were the keeper of the actual America's most wanted list, then your opinion would be persuasive. I'm assuming you aren't.
Kaddhaffi has never been on that list, and he certainly wasn't on that list in the last two months. There are NO American interests in Libya, and certainly no interests that were or are threatened by exigent circumstances. Unless there is an Congressional authorization of force, like there was and is for bin Laden and al Qaeda, this is an illegal action under US law.
I agree. Well said.
I'm glad to see she's dumping some of her advisors.
I didn't know Bill Kristol was one of Palin’s advisers. I thought he said `probably shouldn't be the Republican nominee for president`. Maybe you could provide a link to prove me wrong.
So one president makes an agreement, the next president comes along and treats it like toilet paper. And you wonder why the world has problem trusting the United States. And the wanted list BS would be a direct violation of the Bush agreement. But then return the money and we can put him on that list.
That's when I posted this great story (dying to do a repeat). Read on.
BACKSTORY "Hey Jude" was the longest single ever to top the British charts and spent nine weeks as number one in the USthe longest run at the top of the American charts for a Beatles' single, and tied the record for longest stay at #1 (until beaten by Debbie Boone's "You Light Up My Life"). The "Hey Jude" single has sold approximately eight million copies and is frequently included on professional lists of the all-time best songs.
"Hey Jude" is credited to Lennon/McCartney, a song Paul McCartney wrote to comfort John Lennon's son Julian (nicknamed Jude) during his parents' divorce. "Hey Jude" was released in August 1968 as the first single from The Beatles' label Apple Records.
One of the first business ventures made by The Beatles' fledgling Apple Corps, was The Apple Shop, a retail store that opened on 7 December 1967 in Marylebone, London, and closed on 30 June 1968--- The Apple shop was a financial disaster. Theft was endemic. Customers helped themselves to the stock as did hapless staff members. The liberal ethos of the venture and those operating it was antipathetic to making accusations of shop-lifting or of calling for the police.
At the end of August 1968, Paul McCartney used the windows of the closed Apple Boutique shop to advertise the Beatles first Apple Records single release, and had scraped the title, "Hey Jude" in the whitewash on the glass of the closed-up shop.
The PTB declared it to be anti-semitic graffiti-----'Jude' being German for 'Jew'......and they forced McCartney's graffiti to be removed.
ROTFLOL.
Phew---I'm glad indylindy did not start humming, "Hey Jude" when she made her neocon comments.
AntiJewish? There you go again. Most American Jews agree far more with me than they do with warmongers like Palin. By that slimy smear standard, the warmongers are the ones who are “Anti-Jewish”
It’s about time.
Paul and his ties to the antijewish fringe within the GOP is well known. deal with it.
” Phew-—I’m glad indylindy did not start humming, “Hey Jude” when she made her neocon comments. “
That of course, would be grounds for a public hanging ;-)
thanks for the link, she is doing an about face, and I say good for her. Never really understood why a good conservative like Sara would be in bed with the neocons, now she no longer is. Excellent.
” I didn’t know Bill Kristol was one of Palins advisers “
I can’t see why.....it has been posted here many times.
bush had many many flaws. Gaddifi being one of them. Bush should have kept the Reagan policy on Libya. Maybe then he wouoldn’t hav eleft office with less than 30% approval. Bush’s doctrine was a mishmash wothin a mishmash just like Obama’s. We attack Iraq but not Iran or Syria, we cozy up to Libya and China but not other enemies. Bush had no overriding policy and was trying to place a cold war ideaology fit into a terrorism model.
Personally I think 300 lives is worth more than $1.5 billion don’t you?
Hey SJB, my singing isn’t really all that bad. LOL
She’s as bloodthirsty as they come....though perhaps her dumping of the neocons indicates that she has had a “Jesus moment” on foreign policy. Anti-Jewish fringe? You should get together with Al Sharpton. Like him, you love to scream bigot when you run out of rational arguments.
ROFL....put the bong down. Palin “bloodthirsty” Oh man you don’t understand how stupid your post is.
