The French and British should have been told: This is your problem. Fix it.

Most of Europe actually.

Thanks edpc.
Moammar Gadhafi's forces hammered rebels with tanks and rockets, turning their rapid advance into a panicked retreat in an hourslong battle Tuesday.

It doesn’t matter how big we are or how much we spend on defense if “stupid” becomes the majority. That’s how we got the farce of a President that’s in the Whitehouse now. We have sacrificed thousands of our troops over the years to fight Communism, Marxisism and Radical Islam. At the present time, our government is chock full of all those, and they didn’t fire a shot.

The American people need to stop joining the Army and Navy. As long as foreign leaders such as Obama have American soldiers to use, they will make war and grind them up.

Anyone who thinks Obama gives a rats ass about us or our troops is delusional.

Look at these a-holes like Hellbag Rodpig Clinton, prancing around the world like they are gods. In her wake she leaves American men by the hundreds getting buried in cemeteries. America needs to wake the-F up.

Of course it matters how much we spend on defense. With Obama, we've basically hit bottom as regards presidential caliber. That defense budget means that even with a knucklehead like him in charge, we are killing hundreds of Taliban and al Qaeda every month. If we had Britain's defense budget, we'd be lodging a complaint with the UN. This massive military capability means that Obama can't say we don't have a sufficiently well-equipped military to kill our enemies. Our enemies fear us because we have such a massive military and industrial capability that even weak American leaders can pulverize them at very little human (and therefore political) cost.

Obama has put us in line for a huge attitude adjustment. I may just be old-fashioned, but it makes me ill to see that bunch of P<>ssies standing on top of tanks and cars that have been incinerated from the air by state-of-the-art aircraft and shooting into the air and waving the victory sign as if they’ve done something.

It also sickens me to hear the talking heads on the news pontificating about who needs to die as if we here in the United States are the gods of the universe. There used to be a sober knowledge of the value of human life on BOTH sides of a conflict. Now, the loss of human life is treated as if it’s nothing more than a video game. The death of human beings is bandied about like a joke. We talk about “American Interests” as if that’s all the justification we need to have our way.

I just hope we all don’t have to suffer that “attitude adjustment” along with Odumbo when it comes.

It is the Bay of Pigs all over again.

No, I’m not referring to the women of the Progressive Democratic Caucus in a swimming pool, though the name would fit.

In fact, that’s a good joke, based on an old one.
“What do you call a swimming pool with Helen Thomas, Nancy Pelosi, Barbara Boxer, Sandra Bernhard, Rosie O’Donnell, and Joy Behar in it?” The “Bay of Pigs”.

How would you get these pigs out of the pool? Throw in a bar of soap.

What would you serve them for lunch? Bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwiches. They eat their own, don’t they?

If our Constitution were still the rule of law, Obama could not have sent our armed forces to aid Al Qeda terrorists assume control of Libya.

While I am opposed to congressional “authorization,” as a method to place our armed forces in harm’s way, this seemingly unConstitutional precedent has been used multiple times in the past...ie Korea, Nam, Kosovo, Afghanistan, Iraq, etc. But now, Obama has taken this precedent to the next level, when he completely by passed congress to to send our armed forces into harm’s way, to bomb another nation.

The new precedent is, if the UN and/or NATO, says let’s do it, the US Congress is no longer a factor, and needs not to be addressed, nor concerned. Nor do the American people need to be concerned, nor addressed. Since now, such military actions are now completely in the control of the POTUS, as established by the Obama precedent.

No one, no where, is enforcing the rule of law. The rule of law, has been sustained.

The sad truth is, there is nothing we can do about it, beyond whine. Powerless, without the rule of law to protect us, we are in a world of shit.

“Hmmmm, I’m sure Moamar would never be smart enough to hide his tanks among civilian buildings” Obambi was no doubt pillow talking with Moochele right after his wonderful speech. “He isn’t a Harvrd community organizer who can think five moves ahead.”

“When’s our next vacation?” Moochele coos.

Obama has started something that is going to cost us American lives, all in hopes that it will help him get reelected.

It's so sickening to see. Every move he makes, the way he walks, the way he talks, the lies, the foreign policy decisions, the alliances with Soros and the elites, the 'community organizer' shtick, the appeal to the youth vote, the black vote, the LGBT vote, raising taxes, expanding the government, 'helping the poor', the One Nation groups, the communist groups, socialized medicine - all is done - all of it - is done to get reelected.

Forget America, forget the Constitution. Form the communist-Islamic-NWO alliance and please everyone. The CFR boys, the Internationalists, the UN, the 'post-American' worlders', the academics - I'll be so cool at all the parties - and the money and praise will just keep coming. Just be cool, be present and don't get too excited. . . The MSM is on my side and I'll get reelected, no sweat.

We'll see Obama. . .
