It was a very HOPEFUL failure though

Yes, and after all, he was "trying." Remember, to the adoring sheeple, that's all that's needed.

This is what happens when you have a president that leads by phoning it in. This whole thing was a cluster f*** from the word go. Let the damned Europeans police their own back yard for once.

Yeah, that’s a great idea. Let’s assassinate the leaders we don’t like in the Middle East. Won’t it be great when the Muslim Brotherhood takes over and we can have sharia law all over the Middle East.

It’s been a terrific improvement in Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Egypt.

Next up: Bahrain and Saudi Arabia.

Obama said we are not really there so confidence will dwindle.

My guess is that the U.S. pushed for this, so the Germans want nothing to do with it if the U.S. is going to be little more than a spectator with advanced weapons.

Nice picture. How many billions of taxpayer dollars and years do you think it will take to make a stand-up military out of THAT?

In honor of Obama, the words of Benny Hill:

They said that it could not be done,
He said “Just let me try.”
They said, “Other men have tried and failed,”
He answered, “But not I.”
They said, “It is impossible,”
He said, “There’s no such word.”
He closed his mind, he closed his heart...
To everything he heard.

He said, “Within the heart of man,
There is a tiny seed.
It grows until it blossoms,
It’s called the will to succeed.
Its roots are strength, its stem is hope,
Its petals inspiration,
Its thorns protect its strong green leaves,
With grim determination.

“Its stamens are its skills
Which help to shape each plan,
For there’s nothing in the universe
Beyond the scope of man.”
They thought that it could not be done,
Some even said they knew it,
But he faced up to what could not be done...
AND HE COULDN’T BLOODY DO IT!!!!

I saw a news report that Obama’s muslim brotherhood that he endorses is in the majority in Cairo.

The vaccuum left by Obama's lack of leadership is being filled by the individual self interest of every coalition member. France is playing its usual duplicitous game. German has some angle, probably appeasing its own socialists. Italy is holding the whole operation to ransom by threatening to withdraw landing rights. Turkey is playing to its Muslim majority. Obama responds to media pressure rather than the stated goal of "protecting the innocents".

This is a classic case of fallout from lack of leadership.

For the good of the country, the Republicans should ask Obama to end the operation, now.

Winning The Future


When you put someone that hasn't even earned their butter bars in charge of the most powerful military force in history, bad things happen.

Obama is a fecal King Midas: evrything he touches turns to dung.

Regarding Obama / Libya some in FR told me a broken clock is right twice a day. Evidentally they’re on another planet that’s much bigger than earth with a much slower revolution.
