Some might say this comes too late. Some might say this is the perfect time for Obama to obfuscate. Others might say this action is a red herring. Then again, may be its all three.

I am so glad our president can play war whenever he feels like it ...

and then leave the country to avoid any backlash!!!

Are they under the UN? Or our own command structure?

Is there really a difference considering the person we have in charge? At this point I don’t see him even getting the nomination in 2012. I think the dems will pick the Hildabeast.

Goading Obama into this was absurd ingenious on Mo's part.

Makes me ill. I can’t believe this. I really pity our military and their families being political pawns.

All the big mouths that pushed this won’t take any blame either.

If he sends troops into Libya and we suffer casualties - very likely - this clown could have another Iranian hostage botched rescue mission on his hands. Not to mention a war with Qadaafi.

This could get very interesting soon .

And the silence from the "No Blood for Oil" crowd will be deafening.

“Now we are going to get entangled again in business that isn’t ours. Goading Obama into this was absurd.”

Iraq and Afghanistan Nation-Building is business that isn’t ours just like it will not be our business if we end up in Libya.

However, if you buy into GWB’s logic for Iraq and Afghanistan, then it sure is hard not to use the same (flawed as it is) logic to invade any and all Arab countries at some point.

Libya, like Iraq and Afghanistan is simply not worth it, and their people will be just as ungrateful and hostile.

I just now read a headline in the Columbus Dispatch:
"Libya declares ceasefire after UN vote"

Once again, the UN triumphs! /sarc

I understand.

I would like to think there maybe some few leaders in our military that will not let our fighting men be used as cannon fodder.

Because I KNOW the UN would.

Yep, and now that Obama took them up on it, they will swear they were never for it.

So typical.

Amphib ships —biiiiig deal. Bubba deployed Apache’s to Serbia, since they POLLED WELL and made him seem tough.

This is the same thing. Anyone really think BARAK OBAMA will order troops to land on a beach?

Oh please....! Those guys are window dressing —simple.

Beware of the anti-ship missile boats. Libya has 12 of these suckers. All it takes is one lucky shot (as the Israelis found out)....
