Shouldn't that be No Blood for Oil for Europe?

I think they're the ones who get Moo-Mar's oil, aren't they? Most of ours is from S.A. and Canada, as I understand it.

I don't know where he will find the time to formulate a case. His schedule is slam full. This shows how busy he has been since getting back from his South American family vacation business trip.

It’s LIBYA, not LYBIA.

Well, given that no one can spell Ghaddafi correctly , especially in the MSM, I am not surprised to see it misspelled.

In an official White House 'tweet', the Obama Administration spelled it 'L-y-b-i-a'. So we don't want to be labeled as racist for spelling it the other way.

Obama Misspells Libya In Twitter Update

So which is more sad? Misspelling Libya? Or the fact that the Obama State Department uses Twitter as an official outlet for disseminating Administration foreign policy statements.

Don't know about liberals 'screaming', but apparently SOME of them 'get it'--from DU: "This war is wrong"
2. War is not a valid alternative to energy independence

At this point the double standard and the reason for it is obvious: our foreign policy is singularly oriented towards maintaining the smooth flow of oil to our shores (unfortunately BP only got part of that memo). That's the only consistent principle which explains US intervention in Libya yet no US intervention in Syria or Bahrain. I suppose if we are to be honest with ourselves and say we will maintain our position relative to the rest of the countries on the planet via force of arms, one might dispute this point. I'm no fan of that philosophy, and I wouldn't imagine there are too many other such fans around here either.

3. Libya is not a major concern to the U.S.

We don't even get their oil, anyway. It's the Europeans that get the vast majority of Libyan oil exports. Have we fallen so far that we now go to war for other countries' oil?

And why aren't the Europeans handling this themselves? There are two nuclear power, UNSC-permanent-member nations in the coalition against Libya. What exactly are we there to do that the English and French cannot do for themselves?

Once again, in his oh-so-subtle way, Obama will thumb his nose at the American people. Days after his distainful and self-justified declaration of war on Libya without the consent of or debate with Americans, Obama will deign to address us tonight. He will do so, not from the Oval Office, as the seriousness of the matter would seem to require, and not even from the Whitehouse.

The Presidential Address will be given at the National Defense Library in Washington. Yet again, Obama will shamelessly use the platform of newly-shed blood as a platform for a campaign speech and to further his own political interests.

I wonder if the T-shirt will be as good as the one for Tucson.

Obama is retarded. He has the mentality of a 15yr old.
Our country, Our military, the World, is being run by a juvenile teenager.

While you have their attention: It's no one. Not noone.

>>>>>...a calculated move by Obama to cut our world leadership down to one that is subservient to the UN.

That is the end game for liberal socialism. Obama's world view is now forming his administrations and America's world policy agenda. That agenda says, America is not exceptional and our way of life is not special.

Sounds like a continuing shift to "the new world order", aka. a one-world government. After all, we're all humans. Can't we just get along?

Obama's leadership is sad, pathetic and dangerous. God help us all.
