Allow us a moment to reflect upon the shame of being behind the fwenchies while pwesident pwesent holidays in Rio, leaving the beaches just long enough to issue a feeble “me too!”
Not exactly an “a day that shall live in infamy” moment.
Nevertheless… If the french finding their testicles is what it takes to get pwesident twinkletoes off the links long enough to be of any use whatsoever, then we’ll take it. Good job, France, on both counts.
As to the “should we or shouldn’t we?”, we have a few principles that we like to adhere to whenever that question comes up:
1) If you fuck with the U.S., you die. It may take a long time coming, but we don’t forget and we don’t forgive. You WILL die.
2) We always talk about our commitment to and support of freedom and democracy. We mean it too, so if you’re a fuckwit, genocidal tinpot tyrant who likes to mow civilians down with automatic weapons, you better look over your shoulder, pissant, because we’ll be coming and Hell rides with us.
3) Don’t fuck with us. If you choose to do so, see 1).
Thatisall.
I don’t know what kind of government will replace the current one in Libya but unless they murder even more of their own people it has to be a better one. That said –what Obama has done or rather what he hasn’t done just makes me even more ashamed of having to admit he is our so called leader. The… Read more »
To put things in perspective, let’s compare and contrast: President Reagan’s Address to the Nation on U.S. Air Strike against Libya – 4/14/86 and President Obama’s Statement on Libya As a side note, Obama says that the U.S. is helping to enforce UN resolutions. When will the moonbat chants of “Obama lied-people died” begin? After all “Dubya” got approval from… Read more »
Anyone besides me notice the complete hypocrisy over the make believe media trumpeting the fact that Ogabe got a UN resolution before we started .. but call Bush a criminal because he didnt get a 17th one before going into Iraq?
And another amusing thing … over on DU there’s actually people saying we shouldn’t be doing this.
Funny, didn’t Fwance refuse to let us fly through their airspace to bomb Libya back in the day?
I almost didn’t want to mention the shame I felt when the ‘Surrenderist Fwench’ beat the US to the punch, but then I had to take into account who the pResident was. Since he has not proven himself to be an actual American Citizen, this incident doesn’t really count.
Our HarangueOutan proclaimed: It is a symbolic action that really will not accomplish a damn thing. It isn’t going to drive Ga-Daffy Duck from power, it won’t stop him from using his ground troops to wage a ground war Resistance is futile. The All-Knowing One has spoken! I have seen the future, & it sucks. and most of all, I… Read more »
DJ attempts “to make us think” with the following bits of “incisive commentary”: Whatever for? Well for starters, to compel you to post yet another series of inane, snarky comments as you attempt to defend/excuse Obongo and his antics. Remember you are talking about a president who hightailed it immediately after our Marines got blown up in Beirut. You neglect… Read more »
Here’s a conspiracy theory for the crowd. Maybe the Frogs are leading the campaign so they can, after a brokered victory, finally have a place to land all the rioting youth (whose religious affiliation will remain anonymous or course) back in the continent they came from. Well, any way, Vive la France! It’s about time a European “power” decided to… Read more »
Oh dear, jugears better be careful because some of his own teammates are busy sharpening their knives over the use of cruise missiles in Libya.
Eh, who’s kidding whom? It’s just wild chatter that will cease once jugears get back from his latest vacation.
I wonder how much flack W would be taking if he were still POTUS and was in TX right about now…..
Never mind that the current HNIC is VACATIONING in RIO!!!!!! (Note to Management. I did NOT type out the word, so I kept my word).
I agree with DJ, we should have stayed out of this. Mooslimbs killing mooslimbs might not be a bad thing.
LC Gunsniper says: Oh dear, jugears better be careful because some of his own teammates are busy sharpening their knives over the use of cruise missiles in Libya.

Well the “Arab League” is now saying that our little use of force foray was “too much” as reported by by Fox. Why isn’t the Arab League using its pilots and resources to deal with this? We could have easily voted for the resolution and then let the Euro’s and the Arab League do what ever they want. Hell we… Read more »
Just wait for the medication to kick in, Gladiator…you will be fine. And yes, I’m torn on this issue,too. Muslims killing muslims may prove fine spectator sport……I have nooo issue with that.

If the Libyans want a new Muslim leader, can’t we just give them ours?
Now maybe I need some medication…sheesh.
I just want to know where all of the self-righteously indignant lefties are with their mass protests against an “illegal war for oil”?
Actually the French, Spanish, Brits, Italians and Germans (yes they’re not “helping”…and if you believe that I have some prime real estate in the Arctic for yea) all have skin in this game: 1) Oil; gas is $11 bucks in Britain and God save the Queens ass if it goes up even further. 2) Having that nut-job succeed in keeping… Read more »
I guess maybe I look at it more simplistically. Gadafi is a bully. He’s been asked…politely at first, then more forcefully…to quit his bullying. He hasn’t. Maybe it’s time for someone bigger and stronger than he is to drive home the point.

#2 Elephant Man: Wow. What a difference “a set” makes. Reagan had one. Obummer? Ole Gnat Nads.

CommieANSWER/Code Pink anti-war rally so I can express my displeasure with Teh Lightbringer and his warmongering ways? I mean, come on, the dude has us involved in more wars than Chimpy McBushitler!Here ya go…
Liberal Democrats in uproar over Libya action
It’s a veritable “A-List” of Congressional moonbats with such notables as Dennis Kucinich, Maxine Waters and Shiela Jackson Lee.
Response to Elephant Man @:
Heh. Even blind squirrels can find a nut at times!
Remember this photo of Rumsfeld shaking hands with Saddam Hussein that had the moonbats in an uproar?
I wonder how the moonbats will react to this photo of Obama shaking hands with Muammar Gaddafi?
Will the Liberal moonbats stick to their principles and go apeshit or will their hypocrisy rule the day?
So many questions…..
Once again, we toss our allies under the bus. By election time, 2012, will we have ANY left?

You guys will be barking a different tune once these “freedom loving Muslims” turn on us, like they usually do, especially if they end up joining in with the ones in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, etc., and send the whole Middle East in flames.

Off topic but .. and Misha you might get a blood pressure spike out of this ..
Ogabe did find the time, between, golfing, attending DNC fundraisers, vacationing in South America, and whatnot to videotape a holiday greeting to Muslims for the holiday of Nowruz.

Oh, and it was subtitled in Farsi, too.
Where? When? And I bet they aren’t sitting on them for better prices, but because Marxoenviromentalists are tying their hands in the courts.

‘The president does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation.’ Now that was Barack Obama who said that on December the 20, 2007.

This sums it up about our Absentee in Chief better than anything else I’ve seen.
ooops embedding the cartoon didn’t work….here’s the link
our Absentee in Chief
France has often used force to protect and further its own interests (Ivory Coast is the latest case); but those interests are different from US interests.
Now I’m afraid that Qaddafy will be able to pull off a reprisal against Italy. Our police and military are always very alert against terrorism, but someone can slip through.
THAT would be the time for us to hammer him. But as long as he keeps his tirades confined to his own borders, then I would categorize it as “None of Our Business”. And, probably a whole lot more expensive for us in terms of money and lives. Ol’ Adolf could have been stopped quicker, easier, and cheaper if he… Read more »
Sorry for two posts in a row, but didn’t see this one until later: What Congress should do is tell the oil companies to shit or get off of the pot.

I don’t think Bush made up with qadafi too easily; there is still the Lockerbie bombing and the payment that Libya had to make for the wrongful deaths. In terms of oil, I would just as soon go to alternative energy, as long as the Goreacle hasn’t gotten his fat fingers in it…or his cronies. I just loathe the idea… Read more »

Yep, moment’s notice. ‘How ’bout 12 years and 17 DOA UN resolutions being “No reason to rush to war”. BO is very consistent about his capricious inconsistency. Certainly not presidential mettle which, your astute nitpickeration aside, is one of the problems we have with him.
Not the only one, but one we find very disgusting.
Oh, just after the election in ’08, I predicted that the time would come when liberals would be so disappointed, (so, so, angwy!) they would unleash their kitty-claws and scratch off their Obama bumper stickers.

None of this means that the technology isn’t available to make the proposed CAFE standards happen. But it isn’t going to happen without a push that is equal to or exceeds the push-back from Big Oil.
