Led into war by a president who can't be Trusted
The Washington Examiner ^ | March 23, 2011 | Timothy P. Carney

Americans will have a hard time supporting President Obama's war in Libya --because the United States is already fighting two wars, because the president never publicly made the case for involvement, because Congress never authorized the war, and because there are no identifiable American interests.

But just as important, for those Americans paying close attention, is the growing realization that the president can't be trusted. His assurances that America's military role in Libya will be limited in scope and duration carry little weight after the lies and evasions of his top aides. Not even a week into our war on Libya, the White House has already peppered Americans with a handful of falsehoods, equivocations and misleading statements.

That was a wonderful provision in our constitution.

No A-Hole could drag us into war without congressional approval.

But having a foreign citizen president changes everything. He's not bound to our constitution.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the the only reason he made us go to war in Libya was to create a distraction from his failed economic policies and the party fun.

There is no way that dead civilians mean anything to this sociopath narcissist.

I don’t think most Americans will have any more of a problem with this issue than they do with the rising price of gasoline. The reason is that it will be reported as a good thing, if it is even mentioned, on network news or major newspapers. Remember the motto of the MSM, “ If we don’t report it, it didn’t happen”.

“Seriously?”

Yep...seriously. He doesn’t want to further upset his anti-war base.

Evo Morales (Bolivian president)is calling for the Nobel Committee to take back the Peace Prize from Obama. LoL!

Leftists continuously demonstrate that they are all devoid of common sense. It is pretty astounding that so many world leaders at this juncture in history are absolute idiots lacking basic moral fiber. The world becomes exponentially more dangerous.

Read somewhere here...

Q: Why did Barack start the war in Libya?

A: Because the 2 he inherited were too big for him to handle!

“White House: Libya Fight Is Not War, It’s ‘Kinetic Military Action.”

Were they scratching their face with their middle finger when they said that?
