Watch I bet eventually were gonna have ground troops in libya too, and if obama was really concerned about national security the borders would be secure. Do you realize how easy it would be for terrorists to slip through?
According to some foreign media, we already have troops on the ground. Obama doesn't care about the security of this country, just as Bush didn't.
Apparent the right still thinks that Iraq was responsible for 9/11.
Iraq was in violation of something like 19 United Nations' resolutions. These came from Saddam Hussan's thumbing his nose at his "agreement of truce" during the first Gulf War. Of course he had to be stopped. Better before he had a Nuclear Weapon's arsenal than after...and he was working on getting the materials to build nuclear weapons. Don't forget the satellite photos capturing long lines of trucks crossing the western Iraq border into Syria not long before we went into Iraq. There is so much more here than meets the eye. Some we may never know about, but we can be assured that we are now safe from any of the horrors Saddam Hussan was planning for us and others around the world.
Thank God for Bush, Cheney and whomever else saw the danger and stopped it before it got unstoppable. Remember this when Iran drops its first nuke.
The operational head and main military mind behind Al Qaeda was killed last night in a unilateral drone strike in Pakistan.
I guess Obama doesn't care about sovereignty or our allies. This man is an out of control dictator who doesn't think laws apply to him.
And if he did not go after them, the right wing nuts would whine about that. Fact is the President made a difficult choice and his judgement was right.

Well I am glad we got another one of the rats. Yeehaaaaaa, Obama and his six guns, cowboy approach to the middle east is at least getting some good shots in. What a cowboy he is. Can you just see him riding off into the sunset with his hat held high? Gives me the goosebumps.
The wars we're in are actually quite unpopular within the Democratic Party. Left-wingers rally behind him in spite of, not because, of these wars.
That being said, it's surprising to see more Republicans turn against wars that they had supported, possibly (though, I admit, not necessarily) because they are now President Obama's wars.
I myself am a liberal who always supported the War in Afghanistan, though not Iraq. I also support our current efforts in Libya. I believe that if we just withdraw from Afghanistan we will empower the Taliban to retake that 'country' and will give yet another home for Al-Qaeda to more safely plan attacks against us and other countries. Beyond that, the liberal in me hates the idea of the Taliban, and any similar entity, controlling any area of the world as they are unbelievably oppressive. Things are already bad for the citizens of Afghanistan, they'd be a lot worse under Taliban control. I believe it would be immoral to allow the Taliban to regain power from us. I do, however, also believe that we are being immoral in providing so little foreign, non-military aid to this country.
I never heard anybody on the left saying killing terrorist in battle was wrong. Clinton did it and now Obama's doing it. It just happens that Democrats do it better. Capturing and torturing goat herders is wrong.
You prefer a "take no prisoners" approach?
