Barack Obama has repeatedly insisted that the American role in the Libyan war will only last “days, not weeks,” although he has also said that US forces will remain engaged, and that the purpose of the operation is to “install a democratic system” while somehow not aiming at the removal of the dictator at the top. Got all that? Neither has Defense Secretary Robert Gates, who now insists that the Obama administration has “no timeline” for the end of operations in Libya, and he’s not sure how it will all end, either:

So, is it true? Are we now on the same side as al Queda?

Looks like it.

Who the h*ll knows what we’re doing? Nothing makes sense anymore. We are living in a national nightmare.

Democrats have been dying to create another Vietnam.
The thought of American success and/or victory makes them break out in red, crescent-shaped welts.

It’s not a war. It’s not regime-change. Whatever it is, and whatever we’re trying to do, will take days, not weeks.
Comrades, this memo was brought to you by the Ministry of Truth.

Well there is a 90 day time limit if the GOP wants to grow a pair and refuse to authorize it. According to the War Powers act Obama must get approval in 60 days. Failing that he has 30 days to withdraw all troops. Democrats love to throw the War Powers act at the GOP, so lets throw it back at them. Tell Obama to hand it over to the Euros in 60 days. If he wants to kill Qadaffi Duck that should be more than enough time to do it.

Too bad for the muzzies there are no more `memory holes’ for such things to disappear down since the internet made us able to communicate in a matter of seconds.

Libyan mission
Libyan war Pretty hard to put a name on a non-mission with no objective. I have a suggestion. Call it a fly-by shooting.

Our country is becoming that which the Founding Fathers, through their wisdom and admonitions, tried to prevent us from becoming.
