Cheerleading for our Dear Leader continues. War? It's good when Barry does it:

Seriously?

Obama=Bush? Are you ****ing kidding me?

Obama is a war monger? Give me a ****ing break!

Obama did not go it alone like some damn cowboy, he didn't make some knee jerk shoot em up move. He waited, waited for the UN, waited for France, waited for Canada, waited for the United Kingdom and then he acted.

No ground, troops and his targeting military installations. If this air attack is done correctly it won't even last a week.

I am no fan of war, but some of the rhetoric being tossed in Obama's direction from some on the left is just bullshit.

Unlike Bush with Iraq, this was an organic uprising led by the people of Libya.

23. Bullshit
 We are people who do not want any more war in a world that is damn near totally ****ed up by war.

We don't believe the US should be the world's policemen any longer.
That belief is no knee-jerk reaction, it is a longstanding political view.

We know feeding war only enables more war.

Sorry if it bothers you that we complain that our president is staying on the bushco course.
If you don't like peacemongerers maybe you should leave?

Barry's love fest in the hell called DU is on shaky ground.

45. Heard it before
 "We must destroy the village in order to save the village"

Sorry, but you sound just like the war freaks from the 60's.
And I thought we had evolved away from that.
But here it is again, the same shit.

The doomers love it. Because it will doom us: this same BS recycled and repeated.
Have we made no progress? F'n sad.

Apocolypce Now?

3. 'Subtle' distinctions are lost on some
 It's not worth my time to respond to their specious argument. This seems an appropriate time to update my 'ignore' list.

My truth is true. I won't listen to you.

11. Where are people being slaughtered?
 Pictures? Video? anything?

it's all BS. Rebels are dying in fights but I see no evidence of innocent citizens being slaughtered... YES I hear people claiming it on every news channel, but I don't SEE it.

You are buying the same BS that people bought about WMD's from Bush.

No bodies? I thought 2 million civilians were killed in Iraq. Show me two million bodies or shut the **** up.

Umm, DUmbshit?  You may have the historical perspective of a mayfly, but the innerwebs is forever.

"The President does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation."

Boston Globe Questionaire 20 Dec 2007

So, was Lord Barry full of shit then, or is he Chimpeachable now, DUmbshit?

 Oh my, how soon the DUmbshites forget the 15 months of "ramp up" the US (sorry not Bush) went through.
So, DUmmy, just how many countries were NOT onboard?

I guess Gaddafi's "house" doesn't count.

Well I'm sure ODumbo learned well from Clintoon.

Hypocrites one and all.

Yup, the Special Olympics.

Yup, the Special Olympics.

I hear that the "Shark Jump" will be the next event added to them.  The Ol' Pittster should win gold in the event.

[zeitgeist]

Yup, the Special Olympics.

For ten points and all the bugs in Bugtussle, which critically acclaimed president compared his bowling skills to a SPED?


Encode your answer now.

Yup, the Special Olympics.

Very True.

My first bouncy... Except it's 100% true.

I woman I work with is a hopeless ObamaBot and was estatic on Saturday when she checked her Iphone and heard about the attack. She began by sputtering about how great it was that we were saving the Libyan people, how Daffy was killing "thousands" and that we had to do something and how great it was. etc.

I laid into her with all the lefty talking points I heard throughout the years. Among other things I asked her how she felt about going to war for French oil? Why the "rush to war." What is the "exit strategy." Libya is a sovereign country and why do we have the right to attack? She replied that they were killing their own people so I asked why are we not attacking Yemen then? Why not missile launches against Iran last year? Everything she said was met with a barrage of her own previous talking points that just poured out. They fit perfectly with this situation as well. Ha ha... What fun!

She looked like she got smacked in the face. Honestly, the look on her face was priceless and she walked away tapping furiously on her Iphone. I was avoided the rest of the shift.

I have a feeling she will come to work tonight armed with new talking points from websites that tell her how she should think. I hope so because she will be destroyed again with her own words. She has said way too much in the past.

This predated CC, and it was before I was at CU, but I was probably also involved in a bouncy at Kroger on Washington Road in Augusta. Walked up with my buddy on a Saturday night with my beer, ready to get home, and this moonbat woman was going on about Bush this, Afghanistan that, "and you know why we invaded Afghanistan, don't you? Bush and his cronies are building a pipeline through A-Stan", blah, blah, blah. After 5 minutes, and seeing that the cashier was getting perturbed, (trust me, I was already pissed the hell off), I kindly told her moonbatic ass that A) she'd already paid 5 minutes ago, and B) to get the **** out of my way. Wasn't in the mood, and had had a few at TGI Friday's. Since I wasn't at CU at the time, this was years ago, I don't know if there was some DUmmie that came to DU saying how she had spoke truth to power, that she put some "Fundie" in his place, everyone else cheered, and a cop jumped from behind the baby food aisle to "haul my rethuglican ass away".

So, anyone remember anything like that?

[Airwolf]

Mental gymnastics is hardly the word for it but it will do. I cannot understand the mind that can justify anything because their party is in power. And they dare call us Nazi's

Obama did not go it alone like some damn cowboy, he didn't make some knee jerk shoot em up move. He waited, waited for the UN, waited for France, waited for Canada, waited for the United Kingdom and then he acted.

Bush farted about for years in his "rush to war". He had UN and congressional approval, he had a coalition of the willing and he exhausted every non-military option.

Obama ? I wager he wouldn't have been able to find Libya on a map 10 days ago

No ground, troops and his targeting military installations. If this air attack is done correctly it won't even last a week.

There is a saying about every battle plan lasting only until the first shot is fired. Well it looks like that's once again the case here. The Euro's are all playing dodge-the-responsibility as to who is in charge. The Russians and Chinese are again opposed to any action, and there's no coherent plan for what happens when they run out of big shiny things to shoot million dollar missiles at.

Unlike Bush with Iraq, this was an organic uprising led by the people of Libya.

Yeah somehow I doubt that very much. I suspect the uprising was inspired and motivated by the same people that have been stirring up the whole middle east these past few weeks.

There, I fixed it for ya, ya stoopid blowhard from Chicago.  Did you blow Barry often while he lived there?  Bet you were one of the main yappers against action to help the poor desperate people of Iraq and Afghanistan, since it was Bush who initiated the war.
What IS that stuff dripping down your chin anyway?

Barry seems to me the sort of guy who will take out Gadaffi because he make him look bad.

Hillery better watch her ass. (someone has to)
