So Obama ordered this? If not, since he’s partying in Rio, who did?

Hillary grew a pair after waiting for obama to make a decision. She is acting president.
To: Cheerio
I was thinking when I heard the number of over a hundred that the cost of the missiles was probably much greater than the damage they did.

More to the point, WHY would we go in anyways? With anything? What is the US interest?

This must be the first time in U.S. history that the U.S. fired shots at a foreign country while the president was partying abroad.

If they save a single F-15 pilot and his plane,it will be more than worth the cost. If they blow up a bunch of tents in the desert then it is a waste, that is unless Quydaffi is on one of them.
They really need to knock him out early. Maybe that will stop the war so al Quaeda can take over.

Someone forgot to reset the missle’s guidance system to account for the post-earthquake axis shift. /j

We just pissed away 100+ million dollars.

When F-111s attacked, I understood the reason. When GWB launched missions, I understood the reason. This time, the reason seems to be “Europe wants it” without any regard for cause or effect.
And there has been ample time to go to Congress, but I guess that only applies when a Republican is trying to do something to advance US interests...
As with Yugoslavia, it seems the rationale is that the less it benefits the US, the better it must be. If they can find something 180 degrees out from our interests, then THAT will be a just and holy war! < / sarcasm >
