Wait a minute. I thought Obama said we were finished with Iraq. At least the media and many City Data posters spun this as we were finished in Iraq. Now you're saying we're still bogged down there? Freudian moment anyone?

The similarity was... ?
The difference is we call American warfighters in Iraq US Troops. Obama's minions call American warfighters in Libya NATO troops. Spin spin spin...

The liberal spin cycle is working overtime...

We don't have American troops in or over Libya. We have NATO troops in Libya, which mostly are comprised of Americans. Wow, can't you see the difference??? What's wrong with you?

We aren't dropping bombs on ground targets, the liberals say we have a "kinetic event" (I kid you not). See, there's a massive difference in efforts!

We have world support. Well, most countries agreed at one time or another, though most don't agree now, but that doesn't matter as long as we can say there's a difference.

So go ahead and pound those talking points. The big lie takes time to sink in...

Please tell us all about Obama's invasion of Libya.

Let me Google that for you...

Just one of many references...

Libya: Airstrikes attack ground forces

Wow, that was hard to research!

When you are actively attacking ground troops in their own country, you are invading their sovereign space, by definition... It is quite irrelevant if you're doing it from the ground or the air, it's still a hostile act and goes beyond the mandate of a "no fly zone". Therefore, by definition, you are invading a country.

But, as the Obama administration full of English majors likes to say, if you like to parse words and meaning, I guess we now have to define what an "invasion" is. Is this back to another Democrat era?
