Who would have guessed the Libyan war wasn’t thought through?

It’s debatable whether President Obama had the constitutional authority to launch a war against a foreign power without Congressional approval. . .

Der Spiegel calls it “a coalition of the unwilling.” Terrific.

“Who’s in charge here?” isn’t exactly the question you want to hear after launching a war.

But “How do we get out of here?” isn’t either. . .

If only Obama had been forthright in his campaign promises in 2008: “Folks, I don’t have a lot of foreign policy or military experience, so when foreign crises come a-knockin’ I plan to make it up as I go. Vote for me, folks: I’d be way better at this seat-of-the-pants stuff than John McCain.”

Had he been so honest, can anyone seriously claim he would have won the election?

Obama is what you get when you put a community organizer in a position in which he has absolutely no qualifications.

So, it appears that Barry's “Grand Libyan Adventure” was crafted by the three witches of the West: Hillary Rodham Clinton (SecState), Susan Rice (UN Ambassador), and Samantha Power (Office of Multinational Affairs and Human Rights).

How's all that strategic planning workin’ out for ya America? The Teleprompter of the United States is vacationing in South America and is unavailable for comment. Meanwhile no one knows what to do, what our objectives are, and what “victory” is (and no one wants to touch this tar baby with a 20-foot pole).

Okay, this was originally sold as a “No-Fly Zone” enforcement, but what is it really - CAS (Close Air Support) for the “Freedom Fighters” or “Kill Khadaffi” ?

It is as I have said for some time now.
Eliminate the criminal faction by riding them out of town (Tared & feathered) on a rail with a warning NEVER to return.
Round up the wimps that have no spine and parade them behind those tared and feathered ones and ask them never to return unless the somehow found a spine.
Not one that only stands tough when dealing with his own kind but one which can stand the adversity of dealing with others when he/she is outnumbered.

We need leaders who can fight fire with fire. When the dems send union thugs to demonstrate, our side needs to provide buses to other cities and states to fill them with T Party members (10 times over).

If the dems complain then ask for an investigation as to where the funds came from to get the union types there and not to just scratch the surface but dig down to the root of their funding and kickback schemes.

It’s usually a little difficult to tell where, exactly, the chain of command breaks down. When it breaks down this obviously there isn’t really any doubt where the blame lies. No excuses.
