Obama didn’t have to suck allies like France and Britain into this. They use a lot more Libyan oil than we do, and their gas prices are a lot higher than ours. Also, we have been subsidizing European military for years and it is about time they paid for their own war. I’m glad he put his foot down, if in fact that is what happened.

Obama sucked in the Brits and the French because he gave them a false signal that he would fight.

No way did they expect Obama to rush in and then rush out just as fast and leave them holding the bag.

It is one thing to not want to fight for European interests, it is far different to actually stab allies in the back!

Take Germany for instance, they did not join.

Obama could have done the same but instead he rushed in with no plan, no vital interest and no consultation to congress.

You would think with no vital interest and no plan there would at the very least be consultation, but no, Obama recklessly rushed into war.
