Title: Obama Authorizes Covert Operations

President Obama has a signed a secret presidential finding authorizing covert operations to aid the effort in Libya where rebels are in full retreat despite air support from U.S. and allied forces, a source tells ABC News.

The presidential finding discusses a number of ways to help the opposition to Moammar Gadhafi, authorizing some assistance now and setting up a legal framework for more robust activities in the future.

The finding does not direct covert operatives to provide arms to the rebels immediately, although it does prepare for such a contingency and other contingencies should the president decide to go down that road in the future.

The White House press office issued a statement saying it does not comment on intelligence matters.

3. That's quite a secret order for covert operations. Easier to keep quiet about it if we all know. . .

Shhhhhhhh, it's a secret.

Those Tomahawks didn't find targets by themselves.

Obama might hi-jack some of those Crocs donated to Japan, so there won't be boots on the ground.  Crocs, part of the fabulous new uniforms for post DADT.  :rotf:

I seem to recall a certain "non-war" in southeast Asia beginning in almost exactly the same way.  Gee, who was the pResident that launched that FUBAR? :confused:

130 years and the progressive Dhimmi'Rat playbook hasn't changed one iota.  They're just becoming more blatant about it.  :whatever:

You know so far Obi_Wun has been compared to Reagan and Ike but he is way more like Johnson, and I don't mean Magic. :popcorn:

Is this his Gulf of Tonkin moment?  Can he blame McNamara, I mean Hillary??

Four years later, US Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara admitted to Congress that the US ships had in fact been cooperating in the South Vietnamese attacks against North Vietnam. Maddox, although aware of the operations, was not directly


No one at the dump is mentioning the uncanny resemblance that I have seen.  Of course many of them were still poopin in their red diapers at that time.  The rest chose to remain blissfully ignorant of why protestors took to the streets.   Much as they would like to spin it, it was Johnson not Nixon's war.  He broke it, he bought it, as Colin Bowel would say.

Actually, I was remembering back to that progressive Icon, Kennedy, and his sending in covert "advisers" to that little southeast Asian shithole.

I would hope in Libya that Lord ObeyWon was following another, similar Dhimmi'Rat play run by JFK:  the Bay of Pigs.  You know, get the "rebels" all hopped up and raring to go get that evil dictator, and then not send them the support he promised.  Somehow, I don't think so, though.

Libya Price Tag for U.S.: $550 Million So Far, Members of Congress Express Frustration

The intervention in Libya has cost the United States $550 million through Monday, and going forward, it will cost an estimated $40 million a month as the United States reduces its role, Defense Secretary Robert Gates said today.

we simply can't afford this insanity

That is a completely BS lowball number, the replacement cost of the Tomahawks expended so far by itself is at least half of that total.  They cut every accounting corner in the book to come out with that.

Who the hell believed it wouldn't escalate.  Air power wasn't going to a damn thing for that half assed sorry excuse for a bunch of rebels on the ground for a day longer than it did.  Not unless we decide to kill every truck and van on that road that looks suspicious, and then we really would be monsters.

Next, more US troops will be on the ground.  For what?  No matter how this turns out, a regime will be in place in Libya that dislikes the west and hates the United States.  I said it before, Obama should have kept his trap shut.

Oh, and I am still waiting for all of those courageous warriors from Britian, France, the Netherlands, and Canada.  Not that I'll be holding my breathe, mind you.  The President allowed himself to be baited.  His foolishness is only surpassed by his arrogance.

This is your regular old coup. And there will be massive civilian deaths, and don't be surprised if the misfit band of rebels turn out to be the CIA.

The African Union drew up a five point map BEFORE France intervened in Libya. This, was rejected.

To feed your hate for Obama and Hillary, there is news that if Saudi Arabia voted Yes on the No Fly Zone (which no longer applies) they would cover up the messy Bahrain situation.

There are limited options for this outcome. A two state, which will be entirely impossible to uphold without NATO's and American arms deals. Or a full on coup which will be much worse than now, we'll know this by the dimming of the subject of Libya on all three news media outlets.

Also, a side note. Al Jazeera is now a friendly news station safe for your viewing. When the rebels started taking oil fields the government of Qatar opened up their markets. Qatar owns Qatar Broadcasting, which hosts Al Jazeera.

I should also add your friendly oil peddlers got a sizable amount of sweet crude, and then as if naturally in reflex, raised the price of oil.

Of course.

Since our new friend has claimed he's not a liberal (at least not openly), he must be one of those I-pretend-I-don't-like-either-side folks.  Which is usually cover for "I'm actually a liberal". 

Given past experience  with the self-proclaimed genius types, they're so busy trying to play both sides against the middle to be worthless for any kind of meaningful answer to the problems they like to complain about.

Actually, the US became involved in the Viet Nam war under Truman. Check your history. Eisenhower escalated our involvement, but ever so slightly (military advisors). Kennedy escalated it even more and well, Johnson got us into the battle full tilt. (Coincidentally, Ladybird Johnson owned massive amounts of stocks in Bell Helicopter.)
