So, Congress wasn’t involved in this decision?

[rintense]

I bet the leftists are applauding Obama as a true military leader, too.

This just smells.

[blam]

"OMG I can’t believe obama has a pair."

Hillary made him do it.

[blam]

"Exactly. When did Libya attack us? Doesn’t this fit the leftist definition of an illegal war? "

Democrats are haters and racists.

[idkfa]

"It's great to be the king!"

"Just do what Reagan did with the Iran-Iraq War, make tons of money selling them both weapons, and let them kill each other off"

The US did not "make tons of money selling them both weapons." Get a grip. Iran got nothing from us, Iraq, next to nothing.

Obama is nothing in this, he’s off partying, he doesnt care, he has no interest, Clinton is running the show.

2012 can’t come soon enough.

Americans must be thinking we are off on a denagerous mission tonight and boywonder is off playing tourist.

[bert]

I think this is but a prelude, a political maneuver to aclimate the left for the coming war, the Obama political salvation, of the war with Iran.

[SF_Redux]

where’s Code Pink, MoveOn.org, ALL the other ANTI WAR groups?

[rintense]

No buying it. He’s too chickensh!t and loves the Muslems too much to go after Iran.

[cookcounty]

Does anyone else find it odd that the French attack by air, return to bases in France, and then, hours LATER, the US launches Tomahawks for the purpose of making French air attacks secure???

Did Sarkozy see Benghazi beginning to fall and decide to strike "prematurely" on purpose in order to catapult the US and a foot-dragging Obama into this?

Please correct me if I am misreading this. What are the arguments against this view, anybody?

[P-Marlowe]

Obama, or any president, is well-within his authority given the circumstances.

You must be assuming that he is a natural born citizen and qualified to be Commander in Chief.

Where's the Birth Certificate?

[P-Marlowe]

I support our Military. Go American Military! My opinion is let these (Libyan) people kill themselves. I care for neither side .... poop on all of them and iran.

Indeed, let us pray that our soldiers and pilots hit their mark with every sortee, whether they be bombing the Libyan Military or the Rebels.

Frankly if our Military is involved, I will support their missions and pray for their victory over whichever enemy they are bombing at the moment.

So which side is the real enemy?

[bert]

......He’s too chicken sh!t and loves the Muslims too much to go after Iran.....

First, contrary to the settled Free Republic fact that all Muslims are alike and there fore radical enemies, they are not. Iran is a separate matter.

Obama is losing big time. A war, a war with Iran, is his only salvation. He will precipitate the war to win a second term.

[b4its2late]

Our Liberal Socialist Leader is a war monger!

[RaceBannon]

We have no formally aided the Muslim brotherhood

perfect

[PA-RIVER]

Draining the Treasury and liquidating our defense assets is his only goal.

Muslims know this.

[jhpigott]

reports of air & missile strikes on military targets in Sirt now

[rintense]

First, contrary to the settled Free Republic fact that all Muslims are alike and there fore radical enemies, they are not. Iran is a separate matter.

Where did I, or anyone on this thread, say that?

Obama HAS no salvation, and another war while our country is in economic trouble will not win him re-election.

[no-to-illegals]

Amen. God please, Bless and Protect America's Men and Women in our Military with Victory, please God. Amen.

P-Marlowe, I would have rather America stayed out of this one. Now that America is in it ... Go America's Military!
