Leadership: After committing U.S. forces to combat in Libya, the administration rehearsed the message it would deliver to the American people 10 days later. When you tell the truth, you don't have to practice anything.
On April 14, 1986, President Ronald Reagan, sitting in the Oval Office, told the nation that on that day he had ordered airstrikes on Libya in retaliation for what he termed the "reign of terror" waged by Col. Moammar Gadhafi, the Libyan leader, against America.
Reagan said the strikes were in retaliation for the Libyan role in the bombing on April 5 of a West Berlin discotheque frequented by American servicemen in which a U.S. soldier was killed.
The address was timely and to the point. On the first day of operations, it informed the American people what we were doing and why we were doing it.
"Today we have done what we had to do," Reagan said. "If necessary we shall do it again." And we wouldn't ask anyone's permission.

Doesn't bother him. There's nothing in them.

[”The commitment was limited in duration and scope, and so the ways in which you deliver that message help convey it. It’s not just what you say, but how you say it.”]
When your administration is a mask for a massive criminal conspiracy “what you say” and “how you say it” are critical.
Dems have no ethical or moral problem telling one lie after another; in fact, they lie for the sheer sport of it.

I have no problem with dems or the media (Unelected libtards) lying, true like Ann C. says its what they are and what they do.
The BIG ISSUE I have is with spineless, lily livered, weak kneed, head-in-the-sand, rino republicans that not only ACCEPT those lies but then try to justify their positions based on those lies. Seeing McStain and Newt publicly supporting the global warming hoax was a little more than totally exasperating.
To fix this $14,000,000,000,000 mess we are in will take leaders with BALLS OF STEEL, not go along to get along "pubbies" like Trent Lott or others seeking good press or invites to the DC social circuit!
