#4 Lines in the sand don't mean much if they do not have force and action to back it up.

#5 I find myself in the odd position of being in agreement with Dennis Kucinich on this one. Think about it. Team Obama said it was neccessary to wait until the Arab League gave the green light before committing to military action. You know, the Great Satan bombing yet another Mooselimb country and all that jazz. Next it was off to Gay Parree to consult with Euro-Dips and NATO brass to make sure they were cool with it. Now all Obama needed was the blessing from the High Priests of Global Governance - The UN. Then a funny thing happened on the way to Trippoli - the President neglected to ask Congress for the authorization of force. No worries you useless tools in the US congress. It's not like we're protecting an armed rebellion of Islamic cut-throats in order to facilitate a regime change in a soveriegn nation that poses no threat to our national security. And don't call it a War either. It's more like an International Peace operation to protect civilians. It's ahhh....a No Fly Zone...yeah that's the ticket.

#6 It amazes me that this 'president' denigrates the reputation of the US for his first two years in office and then attempts to use the influence he weakened to effect events. Where is the basic understanding of logic or cause and effect?

#7 "Where is the basic understanding of logic or cause and effect?"

Good grief, Hellfish, what makes you think he ever had any?

The UN Phrase of the Year is 'Responsibility to Protect' or to use the hip acronym, R2P.

#9 Pappy, does that R2P mean that the UN has a responsibility to protect folks in Wisconsin from the union thugs of SEIU and the police?

#10 No - just "little brown people" that meet certain criteria set by the international-elite.

#11 On what basis does this A**brain in DC shoot at 'daffy? This should be an impeachable offense since there is no treaty, nor attack on an ally no less on the US to warrant any attack on a sovereign nation.

What the F is congress doing????
