it destroys me that he gives orders to our military and has no clue about our military but does like to do social agendas like homosexuals in the military.

He then goes to Rio and order this bombing.
Meanwhile Bush went to congress for his declaration of war.

Now where is the GOP YET A F-IN AGAIN,
Sorry but I’ve had it with the GOP, the so called media and this clown over there i Rio on our dime taking his family and even the mother in law, I’ve just had it then there is the left who decide they are against war but now for war.
Where are their protests and demo’s

Obama wants to create more Muslim strongholds in the middle east.

Like they need them.

Is this war going to get blamed on the next Republican President just like Clinton’s war on Iraq got blamed on Bush 2?

never go there unless someone gives a direct link and then I only quickly read it but if what you say is true and I’m sure it is then it doesn’t surprise me.

The left seem to have selective outrage when it comes to war .

Their man goes to Rio , takes his family on even his mother in law on our dime.
He then orders this bombing and gives no end game.

No outrage from most on the left.
They seem to ignore it , wait for talking points and then repeat talking points.
One of which is he ignored a UN resolution. LOL

Bush went to congress after Saddam Hussein ignored 17 UN resolutions over years and still these people went mad over it and still continue to do so.

Either they see how hypocritical they are thus they have no really clue or stance on anything or they;re just too thick to understand on what they stand for .
Either way it is scary to know that we have a group of people over at DU who totally gormless and I wonder will they now take off their end this endless war stickers.

I might not agree with many on the left but at least have a principle and a stance which I can respect but being hypocritical makes them a joke.

have you read this piece of crap and hypocrisy from over there?

8. Gaddafi was counting on our lust for oil to make us turn a blind eye to his atrocities.

For once it didn’t work.

I was utterly opposed to intervention in Iraq, but I’m utterly in favor of this one.


opposed to a president which went to congress after violation of 17 UN resolutions over many years which had killed thousands of his own people and used gas but now in favour of this war after this president goes to Rio with his family on our dime.
He ignored on UN resolution in 24 hours , has not got permission from congress.No end game nothing.

Nah no hypocrisy there, none at all ARF, What a complete idiot this poster is.

let me get this right, Japan in crisis
debt out of control.
Economy crap
middle east and north Africa, why people say north Africa is the middle east is beyond me but hey it is in turmoil.
obama then goes to Rio, takes his family plus his mother in law on our dime.

The media ignore all of this, they ignore the protests for obama in Rio.
They then ignore how he never got permission from congress.

How anyone can say our corrupt media is not biased is staggering, just look at how they change the news quickly and how they report it.
YET AGAIN THEY COVER FOR THEIR MESSIAH AND IT IS SICK TO SEE

Naming wars is stupid enough but Operation Odyssey Dawn? The start of a journey that lasts for years and years? Nice.

"Dammit, we needed to stay the hell out of all of this stuff going on in the Mid-East right now. Libya, Yemen, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, etc. etc. STAY OUT."

Exactly right. Let the muzzies kill each other. The world will be a better place with less of them in our world.

the real anti war nuts I can understand as at least they stand for something.
It is the other fools who state they’re anti war but then support a war made by a guy they voted for.

Bush went to congress and declared war once he got the votes.
obama went to Rio and just declared war.
for crying out loud please tell me that they can understand that?

If this is a business trip then why is the family there and why the hell is the mother in law there?
If it is a vacation then why are we paying for the mother in law and why the hell is she leeching of taxpayers anyway?

The media ignore the protests, they ignore everything which makes obama look bad but all they do is cover for him, surely even the most ardent liberal lunatic or left wing scruffy smelly layabout can see this.

Do they always ignore like this?

"Is this war going to get blamed on the next Republican President"

No, it will not be. Sarah has stated she stands for truth and will stand up to any lies. Many people underestimate Sarah. I for one do not.

>Obama Fires First Salvo In 2012 Reelection Campaign<

May backfire on him in a big way.
His base is very anti war so they will not support him, the conservatives KNOW it is too little too late and just a ploy for his image.

BUt my grip is he’s going there to enhance business deals which will create jobs for them while he does literally nothing here. But then that’s what globalists do....he is not for our country..just using it to further his own interests as we know.

Agreed. With the media shilling for them I don't know how we are going to shake them. We are a befuddled nation with no direction. Everything Obama has done is toward the socialist/marxist agenda and against the American/capital interests.

Romney will be favored by the media (or someone like him) and would be a disaster and just might incite domestic unrest.

I’m afraid that the media will indeed continue to prees Romney of whom I will not vote for...ever! Unfortunately American citizens will swallow what the media pushes....easily mislead as with Obama...and why we have him today. It’s become a Hollywood show to see who is the best looking with no thought to what is in their head.

I agree Romney will be a disaster and we might as well figure the end of our nation under him...such a globalist and his religious leaders, which are actually investment bulls,... will push him no doubt to their personal agenda.. he’s just bad news.

After reading the posted comments on the site, I am dismayed these people in support of zer0 have no honor, no integrity, and nothing but love for iran and islam, even though that was not stated. These lefties / leftists would support the devil himself if he was running for office and call anyone who pointed out they (lefties and leftists) were following the devil hypocrites.

btw ... Thank You for the updates.
