[S]ome rebels shouted, "Sarkozy, where are you?" — a reference to French President Nicolas Sarkozy, one of the strongest supporters of using air power against Gadhafi.

Sarkozy? Didn't they know The One spoke on their behalf yesterday? Apparently, they were as unimpressed with Obama's speech as we were.

The world debates, while Gadhafi takes care of business.

This has mission creep written all over it.

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

I am so fed up.

What we fail to appreciate in Libya is that this is tribal. Ghaddafi’s tribe is the biggest with the number two tribe as his hereditary allies in running the country.

This is as close as you get to stable majority rule as you can get in this two bit country. To overthrow this with minority tribes would less to a chaotic bloodbath. And total instability.

Obama is going to learn that you just don’t start a war and then say, “Oops, my bad”, when the enemy actually fights back.

But, but, but how come Samantha Powers isn’t hurling some more U.S. Tomahawks at some of these people? Aren’t they committing genocide? Or something? For sure they’re killing each other. Shouldn’t Samantha help kill some more of them too? Or maybe she’s not sure which ones to kill anymore? Or does it matter which ones? Just lob a few more cruise missiles in there and say we did something humanitarian.

Evidence of how “transformative” Obama’s election really was: Never in my life did I imagine I would one day be rooting for a Moammar Gadhafi victory. But there you are. If Obama wants him out, it can only be that the rebels are even more anti-Western than Gadhafi is. The world is now a very, very strange place.

I hear a lot of conservatives and mainstream GOP beating the war drums for Libya.

Still, I can't understand for the life of me what the hell we're doing there.

And, I have no doubt that before it's said and done we will have "boots on the ground"...since I'm certain we do already.

I mean, what's a few combat brigades between friends?

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

Put all your money on that horse.

Momar ain’t gonna give up to easy. Obama might regret what Hillary got him into. Though maybe Hillary knows the outcome.

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.
