The differences between the two operations are significant. As for this being the only thing I find deplorable about this administration, it is far from it. That his administration hung our ambassador to Libya out to dry is well up on the list as well as his "recess appointments" when congress was NOT in recess come to mind. These "little insignificant events" (in your mind) add up. How about the number of drone attacks that have killed significant people in the middle east while not netting a single terrorist? How about expanding the theater of operations in Afganistan and attacking Libya relentlessly without the approval of congress under the war powers act? I'm sorry that you spent time in the "sand box". Did you volunteer or were you drafted? There is a difference. Have a nice day...

I agree about the drone strikes whoever he did get some "terrorist" I also agree about his appointees as well. The attack on Libya did not need any approval through Congress because we did have any boots on the ground there, but I disagreed on the whole premise of going after Ghaddifi in the first place. You do make some points but these are all a continuation of bush and clinton's long term plans. It has never been republican verses democrat because they aare both being controlled by the same entities anyway.
I guess the point that I'm trying to get you and others to realize is that it does not make a difference who is the president because they are being told what to do as well. This is why I do not get really bent out of shape out about the "minor" things because the major things are being swept under the rug.
