I would guess that Franklin Roosevelt, Winston Churchill and Dwight D Eisenhower must be spinning in their graves. Can you just imagine this NATO operation going on in Libya? We won't set troops on the ground. We won't supply arms to the rebels; in fact, we'll bomb them if we think they are harming civilians because, after all, this is a humanitarian missison. In fact, we did bomb them this week when they were wasting their ammunition firing in the air in celebration, and we thought they were government troops. In addition, the Americans will stop aerial bombardment tonight, the Germans pulled back when they realized they weren't invading France, we don't know who we are supporting-they could be Al Qaeda types, and what else? Oh yeah, Ghaddafi must go-but that's not our mission.
And here are the rebels we are supposedly supporting.
What is this, a figure 8 stock car race?
"And Little Jimmy Dickens is in first place with Bobby Cartwright closing in."
Meanwhile, we have a commander in chief who doesn't know whether he's on foot or horseback trying to explain unsuccessfully to the American public why we are there at all.
Oh yeah. To protect the Libyan people. What next? Are we going to protect the people of the Ivory Coast next? Sudan? Meanwhile, who's protecting us?

Its been a long time since you were in the army Gary. Fortunately, we have professional officers handling this.
The problem is not our military. Its the politicians that are directing them.
Is it? I have yet to see anything from you on the subject except "I'm confused, and anyway I don't want anything to go right on Obama's watch."
According to you, I must be a very happy man.
Only in your own delusional perception.
