You mean his illegal war against a sovereign nation, when no US national security concerns were involved?

Getting involved in a nation's civil disputes, choosing sides, and flying in US military aircraft to blow up the nation's military and infrastructure, all without even bothering to discuss it with the American people or the US House of Representatives first?.....well that is what democrats voted 0bama into office to do.

0bama has chosen sides as to which of the Libyan people we are supposed to care about, and we drop bombs on the other ones. When you find out who the hell the people we are supposed to care about are, can you let me know too?

I didn't say the US was NOT involved, I said the US involvement from the beginning was minimal, and eventually scaled back even from that.

And even the little US involvement came very late after Obama, as usual, led from behind by waiting for the EU and Arab league to give him political cover before engaging US forces.

The right is happy that libya is free, which is clearly a result of actions from Bush's efforts - NOT obama's.

The problem the "right" has is that obama, even with the US only marginally involved at best in libya, is trying to claim credit for khadafi's downfall, or at least his poodles here are trying to do so for him.

So AGAIN - if the Right didn't want to hear the Left "crow" about a "victory for Obama" then the RIGHT should not have made an issue of it to BEGIN WITH (it's wasn't someone on the LEFT who started this thread on "Obama's War").

Geeze!

It's the not the Folks on the Left who STARTED this thread.
YOU folks were the ones who were making a big deal about Libya and who were claiming we were so heavily INVOLVED. So, if YOU folks think it's OBAMA'S WAR (as YOU folks have put it numerous times) then if YOU are HONEST (which is DOUBT) then YOU should be the ones ADMITTING A VICTORY FOR OBAMA - YOU folks after all have been the ones saying it was HIS war. Now that it appears to be won - with ZERO US CASUALTIES - suddenly it's not "his war" anymore.

All the folks on the Left are doing are throwing YOUR claims back in YOUR face. If YOU folks didn't want to eat crow YOU folks should never have started cooking it up to begin with.

Want a little hot sauce with that?

Touche'! How many on the right on here and in Congress wanted to drag the Obama administration through hearings to explain our involvement in Libya? The rightwingers won't even give Obama any credit for this even though we obviously were involved along with NATO! Time to "eat crow" wingnuts!

Good thing Republicans are not running the military. They let bin laden escape and we would have had Gaddafi still running Libya.

The righties will just put a different spin on the issue, something in keeping with their negative outlook on everything no doubt... After the right was gloating about how this was somehow Obamas war and making the implication he was losing its looking like if Obama was indeed involved it looks like he's winning
Yeah Obama
