I thought it was “kinetic diplomatic community outreach” or whatever, not “war”?

Behold the power of the gratuitous lie: the truthful tie themselves in knots explaining “it’s a lie” while the liars plow ahead with their agenda, truth be damned.

Bush gets congressional approval = Illegal War

Obama skips getting congressional approval = It’s legal he “consulted” with Congress

Weiner confused Lybia with Labia. He voted for it.

It's the 60 day rule.....but does it begin at the outbreak of military action or later?

Ciao JJ! I see you've moved. We can chat about that on another thread or another time.

Not quite moved. Deployed until something happens to qadaffi.

It’s rather pretty here. Not a bad time to be stuck here.

>>When don’t they tell lies?<<

The best lie detector for this administration is the mobility-lips test. If the lips are moving, it is a lie.

And this administration doesn’t even try to hide it.

Consulting is not approval.

Obama lies continually, constantly and as a matter of course.

He gets by with it because the MSM is so in the tank for him they work to cover up his lies rather than expose them.

Does anyone really know where Qadaffi (or whatever which way he spells his name now) is? You just might be closer to him than the NATO forces that are deployed to find him. Skip Aviano and check out the hotel registries in Naples.

My teenage children used that trick all the time.

"Mom(or Dad) said I could go, do, or associate with (blank), because when I mentioned (blank) they(mom or dad) never said I couldn't!

I called it amorphous demand, followed by deceptive posturing. It got you a week in lock-down with good behavior.
