I keep telling you, we've got to send some SEIU thugs over there to whip those sad-sack rebels into a public employees union! Gahdafi wouldn't stand a chance!

[the mind of right winger]
From 2003 until the economic crisis hit, pretty much all you heard from CNN was how bad things were in Iraq. Now Obama has started his own war and its becoming yet another quagmire and you hear nothing of it. People on CNN were calling Iraq another Vietnam only a few days in. You never even hear about Iraq anymore.

No. To a supporter of the Bush's war they sounded negative. That's all you wanted to hear about as you wrapped yourself in the flag....good things.

I could give you quotes of reporters admitting they were pressured by their bosses not to give a full accounting of what was going on ...lest they and their media company be accused by the right wing of being unamerican.

Read and learn

Oh noes! Obama is wimpy and evil for not doing anything to protect the civilians!
Oh noes! He shot missiles and flew into Libya, it costs too much!
Oh noes! He's using drones, a more cost effective measure!

Nothing more then the obvious to see here. Some people will hate any decision Obama makes no matter what.

I'm sorry old friend logic, you are not needed here. Nothing can ever dissuade insanity.

Just think, the whole thing would have squashed and done with if Gaddafi would have been allowed to run his own country without interference from aggressor nations.

How many innocents will Obamas drones kill?

A democrat is now in charge. We now KNOW, with certainty, the protests from the anti-war Left were purely partisan, political posturing.

The evidence is clear - just look at the response when Bush led the war(s) vs obama leading the war(s).

Hypocrisy at it's finest and disgusting behavior from the media.

Remember, the NYT had a daily running count of above the fold car bombs and dead US soldiers...won't find that nowadays.

60% of all the deaths of American soldiers in Afghanistan have occured while Obama has been Commander-in-Chief. Where is the outrage and the media on this? What does this say about Obama's policies in tying the hands of our troops behind their backs and making them sitting ducks?

If you are going to fight a war then make it ugly, quick, and win it. Get in, get out, don't linger and nation build. Otherwise, don't even bother. There is no winning hearts and minds in the Middle East.

You're upset now about the money being used in the war you wanted him to start. Did you think it would be free? Be careful what you wish for....you just might get it.

Here's a look at the people obama is giving $25 million and predator drones to.

Pajamas Media » Mounting Evidence of Rebel Atrocities in Libya

Quote:
Mounting Evidence of Rebel Atrocities in Libya
Video clips depict summary executions, lynching of an alleged mercenary and a beheading. Black African prisoners are singled out for abuse.
This is INSANITY.

He's ALL IN, he can't back out now, he can't say he made a mistake by going in the first place, he can't admit the people who he is helping are AQ and possibly even worse than Ghadaffi.

Now what could possibly in this world embarass this man. This President has a thick skin, so thick, his urgency to fix what is wrong with this economy, is non existent.

Can't possibly emabarass Obama without Obama coming back at ya somehow.
