Ahhhh yes cant wait till the guys on FOX spin this one

War is the ugliest of things.

Did I miss our Sec.of State, Hillary Clinton’s name on that phone conference? 

Spin what? That Sarcozy and McCain were leading while Obama lead from behind and then was the first to jump in front to take credit?

there ya go first spin of the night.

 Same guys who were bitching we were there helping out spending money using our resources, now he didn’t have anything to do with it. Of course yawwwwwwn

The President covered the bases pretty thoroughly in this first statement without involving us further. I am very pleased thus far.

No reason to follow the War Powers Act ’cause the “war” is over.

And there it is. A futile attempt to spin the wrong way.

The rebels running around Green Square certainly don”t fit the stereotype for Al-Qaeda members.

What are you racial profiling?

The cockroaches hide when the bright lights are on.

In terms of their clothing and lack of facial hair. The race fits fine.  

It’s coming to an end for Gadaffi rule, finally. After he’s had many years of tyranny, but ably supported by everyone in the West. It will be interesting to see what The Arab Spring will mean for Libya now it looks for a new path.

The angriest people in America right now are Republicans and Fox News employees. Remember the collective orgasm at Fox News over victory celebration in Iraq in May 2003? Bush was supposed to be the war hero president not Obama, yet his failed policies gave us the two longest, unresolved wars in American history. Expect scant coverage and the Libyan war to receive less mention than it deserves on Republican Party news media.

I found it hysterical that Republicans in Congress were attempting to hold Obama accountable through the War Powers Act over the Libyan operation while they didn’t give a damm throughout the 2000′s after hundreds of thousands of people and trillions of dollars were spent during the Bush wars. This is just another example to highlight how the Republican Party has become a strictly partisan not ideologically based party.

They’ve been covering it pretty much non-stop since yesterday evening. Any other “predictions” you’d care to share?

Pathetic commentary Stephen.

This is about Libya and if you bothered to watch Fox, you would have known they have been covering it non-stop.

Now, I would suggest you reach elsewhere besiced dkos, mm, msnbc for news.

I have to snicker when I read:

“The President led the conference call”

oh boy, lefty reporters have to push the idea of a leader with this guy….led a phone call! 

Finally, the President has pivoted to Jobs Jobs Jobs.

Oh, wait…

I guess we’ll be hearing about how Barrack single handedly defeated Kaddafi in an ‘Epic Battle’ between gladiator like warriors…LOL Right Tommy?…LOL

Since it’s undeclared and europe is in charge, no way to claim credit for the victory.   That’s what happens when you don’t lead something, less blame but also no credit.  Let’s all just hope the transition goes fairly smoothly since except for the bills and our people/resources, it’s in europe and libyans hands now….

it’s sarcozy’s lead, and he deserves all the credit here.  Viva la france!

just like when the iraqi surge, no one cares much when you win, they only care when you lose.   Unfair, but true.  With the economy in the tank, it matters even less.   Libya was never a declared war, and the US gave France led it all the way. Give credit where it’s due, Sarcozy did an excellent job from the get-go.  

that is funny.  We all know Sarcozy’s in charge, no shame in that.   France took the lead, and did a good job.   They earned it.  Seems strange, but he took the lead and led it through. 

Why the need to pretend the Pres. obama led this thing?  The US was the partner and ally here, no shame in that.  That was the strategy and France led and it worked.  All good.   Since Jarret is still a close advisor, it does explain why his poll number and the economic strategy is terrible.  Really needs to change his key advisors to people from the clinton admin who knew how to lead policies…

are you an idiot?  man it must be hard to be a sheep republican right now.   President Obama said he would go in to pakistan and take out bin laden and that is exactly what he did.   President Obama has done more regime change than your boy george did and his daddy and the holy ronald reagan. 

Obama could find the cure for cancer. Charles Krauthammer, Bill O’Reilly, and the rest of the angry baggers at Fox News would complain asking why Obama had not discovered the cure earlier?

I think we all George W. Bush a debt of gratitude for liberating Libya. He’s on a roll after getting Osama.

Be careful criticizing George Bush on here. A lot of posters here are drunk teabaggers. They want to believe that the economy and foreign policy were doing just fine until Obama came along. 

Well, according to the article Obama “led a conference call from Valerie Jarret’s Oak Bluff’s house.”  Sounds like real in-the-trenches stuff.  

Ironically, I was watching the movie/miniseries “Carlos,” about the terrorist Carlos the Jackal when this all was going down last night.  A GREAT view no matter what your political stripe.  It was funny, because Carlos was lamenting the $4 million he’d have to give back to Moammar because someone else assasinated Sadat before he had the chance.  I just hope the Islamic radicals don’t take over.  Otherwise, well done by the French and some credit to Hillary.

Obama still should have gotten congressional approval.  And for the record, I think Republican presidents should also get congressional approval.  Obama’s base has every reason to be ticked off given the lies about foreign policy he told in his 2008 campaign.

Seems to me that Bush went to congress and got approval to do whatever was necessary against Hussein and Iraq,  He was acting on the information obtained by the Clinton admin and all the other powers, UK, Germany, France and Israel to name a few. 

Obama had very little to do with the killing of Osama, the information was obtained by Bush’s agents at Guantanamo, Navy seals did the deed.  Oblamer takes credit for any good that comes around, but there ain’t a darn failure anywhere  that he is responsible for.  It was the Tsunami, the ATM’s, the tornados, it’s Bush’s fault, global warming did it, Wall Street fat cats caused it and the beat goes on, 
 This fool excuse for a potus never ran anything in his life but endless campaigns and his mouth.

No, we’re going here how Dubya and the right-wing brought down Kaddafi

 You guys are hilarious. I have said that i have given up before but I really have now. This was a policy directed by NATO of which we are the largest member. Europe who you guys freaking love so much and cant trip over yourselves fast enough to compliment them on this one, took the lead. But were heavily supported by the United States. HEAVILY. This was a success the same as Bosnia/Serbia was. Which you still cant admit was a success. If you read back on these conservatives blogs its absolutely amazing but let me sum it up. Anything good that has occurred during Obamas administration is either because of Bush or some outside force. Anything bad that has happened during his administration is a direct result of Obama. Its really not even funny anymore.

In a 2003 speech Bush stated: ‘Sixty years of Western nations excusing and accommodating the lack of freedom in the Middle East did nothing to make us safe – because in the long run, stability cannot be purchased at the expense of liberty. As long as the Middle East remains a place where freedom does not flourish, it will remain a place of stagnation, resentment and violence ready for export.”

Is that before or after we here that it’s all Bush’s fault?…lol

I long for the Headline:  ” Washington D.C. is Slipping from the Grasp of the Communist Tyrant”!!!

At noon, January 20th, 2013 the same will happen here.

And, in 2012, we’ll be getting rid of our own head-tyrant.

You mean, be extending and growing the number of foreign wars Obimbo promised to get us out of? Are those the accolades your talking about? What part of Obimbo’s lies are you bragging about?

lol that just shows how deranged and confused you are. That statement encapsulates your whole thought process. He is not a tyrant, will never be a tyrant and the fact that you can vote him out in 2012 is an example of this. Not in the worst days of the Bush admin would i have ever called him a tyrant. But this is how you think. You have no idea what a tyrant is.

So what was his problem with Iran? HE is responsible for the regime change – seriously? I wonder how all those dead, tortured citizens feel about your very smug ‘American’ – Obama victory…

Obimbo is talking about that other tyrant. Not the one that bypassed Congress and put us in another foreign war. Not the one that thinks he makes law! It’s that other one that does that!
This clown has outstayed his welcome.
