[Stayfrosty]

Colonel Gaddafi has recommended the armed forces call an immediate ceasefire, shortly after anti-aircraft fire was seen in the sky over Tripoli

Cheat & Retreat. Classic Saddamite strategy. After the West withdraws, he’ll quietly resume slaughtering his opposition.

Obama is busy trying to get jobs for Americans. /s

Yeah, real busy... /s

Heard his speech (the first one) yesterday in Brazil -- he talked about how great it was that they were doing offshore drilling for oil and how the US was going to import it. I yelled and banged the table -- we could be drilling for our own oil and giving jobs to our own people but for him doing his best to shut down US production.

oh my goodness, has a tackier tramp EVER been first lady?

Meanwhile, in neighboring Egypt, Ayman al-Zawahiri’s brother was just released from jail...

[rfp1234]

Man, that’s a poofy stance. And picking his nose on top of it all.

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

Whyt does Khadaffy always look like he just did a shot of Wild Turkey?

Good for Obama for thinking about Brazil's oil drilling! It's only fair, after all just a few months ago he gave Mexico millions to fund their drilling in the gulf of Mexico. Surely you remember that! It happened during the same week he banned the US from any drilling in the same place due to the BP leak. I see nothing wrong with that picture << s a r c

I would say Lockerbie was worse than the disco bombing by orders of magnitude and supposedly was conducted as revenge for the Reagan bombings in 86.

[Munz]

so will Obama ..

"It's just that we don't have an aircraft carrier in the Med. at this time..."

"If it was there, do you think he (Obama) wouldn't use it?

meanwhile in Rio the obama’s and the mother in law are having yet another party and dinner.
The GOP will not demand that obama comes back because of the attacks he started.
The media will try and quickly claim victory for obama but ignore why he’s over in Rio on our dime having a vacation with his family and mother in law, then ordering massive bombing since he ignored this threat for a couple of weeks.
The debt , economy middle east and north Africa is in turmoil.

Now can the media actually get a map and see that North Africa is not the middle east it is North Africa and I have no clue why they cannot call it that but maybe they think Africa is a black place and because they see no blacks then it must be the middle east.

What an utter sham we have with the freeloading family, a so called media and a cowardly GOP.

Yet another war.
Bush went to congress
Obama went to Rio
and the elites and anti war crowd are silent
Now we’ll probably have some on the right wanting this war too because they are too afraid of facing obama but they will do it in a way of we must support our troops
ARF

Foreign policy what policy I’m on vacation on your dime LOL what suckers and I have a media who covers for me while I wage war on my vacation LOL.
MO is now proud of her country

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

Yup. I wouldn’t feel sorry for Khadaffy if his people did the Moussolini on him.

"” Hudna, the second Arabic word translated in English as “peace,” means cease-fire, a temporary truce."

That sounds REAL similar to what a FReeper on an Afghanistan thread once described as "The Tora Bora Shuffle".

what was he supposed to do?
HUH Not go on vacation and take his family and mother in law on our dime.
Set up a no fly zone weeks ago instead of a massive bombing campaign wile on vacation.

the middle east, North Africa is in turmoil.
Economy , debt in crisis
Japan

but wait what is he supposed to do.
I can tell you he is not supposed to be doing what he is now that’s for sure.

If we had a free and fair press then they would ask these questions.
If we had a GOP with balls and not cowards they would demand he come back from his vacation.

Exactly who are we supposed to be protecting anyway we have no clue who these people are.

[manc]

no style no grace no class no etiquette and why are we paying for a mother in law to live in a white house and take vacations on our dime?

He has got us into a war while on vacation on our dime and takes the family and you can bet some idiots on the right will support this action and war now.
