OK so if I go rob a million dollars all my problems would be solved. It’s illegal but by following Obama’s lead that shouldn’t matter. Right?

So “it worked” is now an official substitute for “it’s the right thing to do” to the dems...

Okay - gotcha.

“...and they weren’t going to put boots on the ground.”

So the ‘Rebels’ were painting targets for smart bombs? At least one of the targets was a moving ship...not exactly the kind of thing you program coordinates into.

Some western nation had ‘boots on the ground’ in this ‘kinetic action’.

Vindicated? Hardly. In fact, since Obama used taxpayer money and the might of the US military under the guise of NATO to topple a sovereign nation whom we were not at war with in direct violation of the war powers act, nor posed a clear and present danger to US national security, it makes him a full fledged war criminal.

We need to help that hijacker over too. Where´s he now?

Pretty sure you are referencing the bomber of Flight 103?

I don’t think Ali al-Megrahi has anything to fear from the new overlords in Libya. He will still be a hero to them just as he was to Quaddafi. That is the problem that Bush, Obama, and their ilk don’t understand.

If you give inmates in a prison the right of self-determination you probably won’t like the results. Most people in the Middle East are poor, ignorant, and follow a radical religion. The educated and enlightened are as powerless as Conservatives in San Francisco.

Middle Eastern Democracy will probably not produce good results for the U.S., Israel, or Western interests.

It’s a fair generalization and that is why the “Arab Spring” will cause massive bloodshed in the future.

Think of each of these Arab/Muslim countries as a pit bull. Each dog individually with a strong owner and a good leash would not worry you too much.

However, take several pit bulls without strong owners and no leash and you now have the “Arab Spring”. Odds are good that the pack mentality (radical Islam) is going to cause something bad to happen. Don’t forget, we still have more “stable” Islamic governments that may also be overthrown (i.e. Pakistan and Saudi Arabia).

I am sure the media will fawn all over this “victory”

Bush couldn't kill BinLadin, but Obama did...

Reagan couldn't kill Gaddafi, but Obama did...

Carter couldn't kill our Economy, but Obama did.

That would make me a happy man indeed. I would also love to see the politicians in Scotland and England who got paid off to release him put in jail!

This will allow them to revive the "Obama is the second coming of FDR" theme. FDR beat Hitler (well, almost--Hitler's suicide was just 18 days after FDR's death), but Obama beat Khaddafi.

Obama is clearly the greatest military leader of African origin since Hannibal, if not since Thutmosis III.

“The administration is entirely vindicated’’

Words you will never ever hear from Riedel about anything Bush did.

We'll see how "entirely vindicated" Obama's illegal War Powers Act violations are when we see how "free" Libya is under the new constitution making Sharia the law of the land.

Driving the train from the caboose. Victory for Shari’a Law and the Muslim Brotherhood (aka AQ), engineered by Hill & Huma at the State Department.

If O want s to take credit I’ll wait until all the nations that will attack Israel per prophecy are in the hands of Sharia law. Libya, Egypt, and then Syria all lining up as per prophecy. O is indeed working to set up the attack.
