Thanks Obama.....for nothing.

Well, I am skinnier now due to very deep cuts in groceries bought (and I'm not being sarcastic and I was not fat to begin with either).

Oil rose when Gaddafi shut down the production output.

From now on, how about you make sense when you quote.

Yup. I misread your first post, my apologies. Oil has dropped 15% or more since the start of the NATO action.

Sure. You be sure to let me know when I stop making sense.

US Military Intervention in Libya Cost At Least $896 Million - Political Punch

Pocket change compared to the $800+ billion spent on Bush's war.

Nothing to see here, other than more rightwing hypocrisy and stupidity.

When are we going to "get" Iraq's oil? I'm still waiting. Or is it more left-wing stupidity?

Supplies weren't cut,the rebels didn't have control of the oilfields.

And yet no oil was flowing from Libya...

Obama borrows money to give away to foreign powers for an agenda that is not clear to US citizens and leaves "us" with the bill + interest.

All this with dbl digit unemployment (when you add up the true numbers), staggering national debt, a currency in jeopardy of default and our country poised on the brink of depression.

What a guy.
