I agree. It’s time for the rest of the world to step up. No more American boots on the ground in the Middle East.
Any outcome other than Kha-Daffy being gone will mean Obama is wrong, so you know which way they’re heading
Whether or not troops actually get sent, the important thing to notice is that Gen. Ham is saying that the original "humanitarian" mission has now transmogrified into an essentially open alliance with the rebels.
Just so's we can all keep our eye on this particular ball....
Odumbo “No Boots On The Ground!”
From the day I became a civilian, I've always yearned for an opportunity to say to a General/Flag officer, "You're a F#$%ing Idiot".
Today is the day! Thanks, General Ham! You're a F#$%ing Idiot!
It would be much more satisfying to say it to him personally.
He's thinking in terms of making this work and getting the outcome we want for our nation. His perspective is to make our team “win,” irrelevant of who is in office.
Don't make Libya into the Obama quagmire, illegal war...bla bla bla and do the typical anti war humdrum crap, defaming soldiers or victimizing them, looking for the Schadenfreude and creating false moral arguments etc. as the left did with Iraq and where they turned it into Bush's war and essentially did all they could do to make it fail (Which it thank God didn't). Just because Obama took cheap political shots at Bush and capitalized all he could from any mishap in Iraq, GITMO, Afghanistan doesn't mean we need to debase ourselves as he did.
Just trying it on for size.
The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Who knew being a “peace loving hippy” could be so much fun?
Wesley Clark gave me that opportunity a decade ago :-)
General Ham suffers from PTSD. He has admitted so. Not that I hold it against him, nor anyone, but he of ALL people should know the cost of war...
Good catch! I'd completely forgotten about him. He's the ultimate "Perfumed Prince".
IMO, Marines are so close to Libya they could swim ashore.
Would not want to be in Vicenza, Italy as a member of the 173rd Airborne Brigade either...
I mean who in hell knows what Obi will do? When he himself, has no idea? This gold-club swinging bastard couldn’t park a bicycle straight!
“troops in Libya” ?
Not as long as Robert Gates is on the job!!!
Gen. Carter Ham, you and the rest of the lawyers running these “controlled military actions” can go screw yourself. 1984 was a warning, not a playbook. Idiots.
No blood for turmOIL?
I am with ya, screw this world police crap, all we need is enough backbone to tell the world and mean it, screw with Us, we nuke your arse...Ivory Coast, Toast, Iran hits Israel, glass factory, kakdaffy goes bezerk, fried camel meat..I heard a comedian the other day saying should elect a dead president, dig him up and stand him at the podium, and have an interview and let the world know we are crazy enough to take out all of them, the comedian said, once the world saw us interviewing this dead guy propped up at the podium, they definitely would be saying, man don’t screw with them did you see that? That kind of kehonas..
Two words. Nuclear f——— weapons, okay?! Russia, Germany, Romania - they can have all the Democracy they want. They can have a big democracy cake-walk right through the middle of Tiananmen square and it won’t make a lick of difference because we’ve got the bombs, okay?! John Wayne’s not dead - he’s frozen. And as soon as we find the cure for cancer we’re gonna thaw out The Duke and he’s gonna be pretty pissed off. You know why? Have you ever taken a cold shower? Well multiple that by 15-million times, that’s how pissed off The Duke’s gonna be. - Dennis Leary (A-Hole)
