Well, that didn't take very long, did it? So much for that "Not one American boot on one grain of Libyan sand" promise, eh? Is there a record for how fast the Obama Administration can reverse itself?

Since when does a ‘No Fly Zone’ include ground troops?

Sounds like a war to me.

That Obama - a load of lying laughs a minute.

If this most recent episode doesn’t demonstrate to the American people the TOTAL incompetence of this noncompoop and the morons like Hillary Clinton who surround him, NOTHING will.

Don’t worry, knowing 0bama, he’ll probably send our troops into yet another war in a muslim country with no guns. We wouldn’t want to actually be fighting of course.

I wonder if Obama knows???

I’m not happy that we’re sending them, but if we’re going to do something, let’s do it right. Fortunately, our military knows how to do it right. Unfortunately, their community organizer-in-chief won’t let them.

What the k-hell?... I thought no ground troops would be added... this is one heck of a mission-creep situation... if we don’t have as our objective to kill that bastard Libyan, we have no business being there. This is a prime example of leaving a community organized in charge... as one Louis Farrakhan said of Obamy, “who the hell, do you think... you are?!!” Well Louie, now that he has the presidency, he has no need of you or your people... finally, people of all stripes are getting the picture of who this man really is... a punk in a suit...

This latest deployments presents a massive problem for many Americans...

...do leave your “war is not the answer” and “no blood for oil” and “dissent is the highest form of patriotism” bumper stickers ON your Prius (next to the Obama 2008 one), or do you now peel them off?

Inquiring minds want to know.

...obey the president of the United States..The enlisted oath.

The order must be legal according to the Constitution.

Yet they go like lambs to slaughter, WTF!

Once the Muslim Brotherhood takes over everything will be just fine. So, don’t worry!

I have no wish to defend Zero, but the story does not say Marines are on the ground. It says that 2200 Marines from the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit are supporting the mission against Libya. These Marines are likely all aboard ship. Note the references to AV-8B Harriers. These aircraft are likely being launched from USS Kearsarge.

There is no doubt that we could put Marines ashore in Libya and give them 24 hour air support, but this story does not say it has happened.

So much for NO BOOTS on the GROUND, and 2,200 is a LOT OF BOOTS on the GROUND.

Whatever happened to all the screaming about
"OUR TROOPS ARE ALREADY SPREAD TOO THIN"

The uniformed military is concerned about the safety of troops spread too thin. >> 10-7-09

Haven't these troops been deployed a gazillion times already and need a break? Why are they being sent on yet another lame deployment? Where is the outrage?
