Liberals Quiet as Obama Drags U.S. Into Another Middle East War

Hey libs, how ya liking your man now? You folks elected Obama because he was the anti-Bush. Because he opposed the Iraq war. Funny how all you leftists are damn sure quiet this evening as the president launched 100 missile into Libya. This little African adventure by this man is ridiculous. It is not our war. I am tired of the U.S. war machine. This country cannot afford to sling million dollar missiles down range.

So the leftists will now argue that there needs to be a world police. That the U.S. has a duty to be involved. Not that the people in Iraq deserved the opportunity to be free of course. That was wrong. That was Bush looking to secure oil. Look, I was fine when we invaded Iraq but soon reservations about it, though getting rid of Hussein was a good thing. Hunting Al Qaeda in Afghanistan was great but now they have fled to neighboring countries and this stupid war we are fighting against the cavemen is just idiotic. And I'm tired of our country trying to drag them into post-Jesus time.

So what exactly is Obama doing in Libya? There is no way this war will be won in the air. If the leftists want the rebels victorious (and what the hell will that mean?) then boots will have to be on the ground. The rebels in Libya can't do it alone. Ghadafi is a tyrant, mass murderer and a disgusting human being. He deserves to be overthrown. But damn, we can't afford this shit. The Democrats love war. The Republicans love war. It is truly astonishing.

And what is up with France? Never before have they been so motivated to be involved in a conflict. Maybe for them it really is about oil. They get about 15% of their oil from Libya.

There used to be a time that before we went to war a vote would go before Congress. Now we just usurp the Constitution and allow the president to engage in war activities whether our representatives want it or not via the War Powers Act. Congress is timid and are perfectly happy allowing the president make the decision anyway. This has to stop. What exactly is our interests in Libya? Are they our ally? Nope. Do the people of Libya like Americans? Nope. Will they like us more after blowing up their shit? Nope.

Instead of Obama golfing, vacationing and filling out his brackets, I would have had more respect for the man if he simply came out forcefully and thoughtfully and said, " we can't afford this shit and have no reason to put our warriors in another conflict." But he has showed no leadership and waited until the Brits and French unzipped their fly before committing. Sad.
