With no debate and no objective, Obama enters a war

At once presumptuous and flippant, President Obama used a Saturday audio recording from Brazil to inform Americans he had authorized a third war -- a war in which America's role is unclear and the stated objectives are muddled.

Setting aside the wisdom of the intervention, Obama's entry into Libya's civil war is troubling on at least five counts. First is the legal and constitutional question. Second is the manner of Obama's announcement. Third is the complete disregard for public opinion and lack of debate. Fourth is the unclear role the United States will play in this coalition. Fifth is the lack of a clear endgame. Compounding all these problems is the lack of trust created by Obama's lazy leadership.

If we are in the business to get rid of dictators, whether or not American interests are involved, what about Castro in Cuba, how about Kim Jung Il in N. Korea, not to mention Ahmadinejad in Iran? Why didn't we start with them?

Will Obama's Libya be same or worse than Carter's Iran? Carter supported the uprising in Iran against the Shah and look what got us: a terrorist supporting radical Islamists country, a threat to Israel, the US and the world, not to mention its own people.

It’s not supposed to be that easy.

[Texas Eagle]

Not to worry. He’ll find a way to convince his brain-dead minions that somehow Republicans forced him to act without consulting Congress.

Where are the Code Pinkos and the Nagging Grannies?

[rockinqsranch]

You might have something there the longer the Republicans remain quiet about this.

So many dictators, so little time.........

Announcing a war while on tax payer funded family vacation. Can't wait to see the screaming headlines in the NYT tomorrow! NOT!

[Zakeet]

Are you insinuating that General Wee Wee doesn't know what he is doing?

[Lessthantolerant]

One day into this fiasco and we see the Arab League complaining.

Why are we trying to help a new sharia regime get set up in Libya?

Compounding all these problems is the lack of trust created by Obama's lazy leadership.

Key word - lazy

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

But of course. Fascists always do that. In that way, they damn well get to do wnatever they please, eff the public and Congress!

74% of America does not like what Obama is doing in Libya.
I am still rooting for Qadaffi, because he kills Muslim Brotherhood, and Al Quaeda.Apparently Obama now wants to kiss their arses.

What an incompetent floppy-eared boob those people elected.

[jessduntno]

In his first public remarks since the start of the bombings, Gates said President Barack Obama felt very strongly about limiting America's role in the operation, adding that the president is "more aware than almost anybody of the stress on the military."

HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE YOU STUPID POS???

THIS MORON WOULD BE OVER HIS HEAD IN A MUD PUDDLE.

[bcr100]

With Obama’s reasoning, why didn’t we do this in the Sudan? They have been killing people for years there?

[JoeFromSidney]

Two bad moves by Obama.

He didn't ask Congress, thereby violating the Constitution.

He did ask the UN, thereby implying that we need their permission to take military action.

[samtheman]

Where are the Code Pinkos and the Nagging Grannies?

Where are all the demands for an EXIT STRATEGY?

In fact, what IS our exit strategy?

[Sacajaweau]

Anyone notice that Iran has been absolutely silent for a while...Wonder what they’re up to....

[infool7]

Shhhhh, Obama is “Winning the Future”
