Bizarre, to say the least. Has the enemedia told everyone how much each of those missiles cost? Last night I read they cost us upwards of a million bucks a piece.
We are on the verge of bankruptcy and we have already shot off over a BILLION dollars worth of hardware ... and for what?
Oh wait...I know the answer to that.
Barry needs a way to deplete our stash of weapons to comply with his master's wishes. It is all beginning to make sense now.
BUMP!
Thanks Wolfy, I needed a good laugh.
Wouldn’t It Be Nice?
Unlike Bush, Obama NEVER consulted congress on this action.
Can’t imagine the big O demeaning himself to even talk to the house side of congress. He knows the answer so why bother.
Brilliant description on all points. Bravo!

You are absolutely correct, of course. But UN and NATO are now unable to leave him in power --- for one very low-brow reason: it would be a major embarrassment before each other, the Arabs, and the rest of the world. They'll do now whatever it takes -- mining ports, declaring trade sanctions, arming rebels, enticing inter-tribe warfare...
I think that the victor in this battle is yet undetermined group of tribes that will be haded power of Libya, at the expense of the rest of the tribes, once Qaddafi is removed. He is given much credit for balancing the tribal interests and keeping them in check. Dictatorship is what apparently was necessary for that outcome. It is doubtful that any such strongman will emerge as his replacement; so, it seems to me, the continually simmering and breaking our warfare is the likely outcome for the next few years.
