I had hoped this thread would be more about WHEN and under what circumstances the US should use military power.

However, it's apparent everyone wants it to be about Obama.

“I had hoped this thread would be more about WHEN and under what circumstances the US should use military power.”

When and I would add how much military power should be used.

Even though the article is about 0bama and his alleged foreign policy failures. I just happen to think, like many, that they are not failures, but objectives. 0bama detests the very notion of a "Pax Americana," and sees it as a fundamental cause of international misery and instability. Which is why he's anxious to erode it, if not damage it beyond repair. But no worries.

I'll just remind myself to avoid commenting on your threads in the future.

Problem solved.

I got that, the part about how much force to use, but we still need someone who can issue an order clearly and emphatically. The Grand Kenyan in the empty suit just ain’t getting it done. As soon as we can get a Bill of Particulars put together and I can get some help, we’ll set up a bench on the steps of SCOTUS, and have a Provisional Court/Trial and send him and his mom jeans back to Kenya.
