Missing in Action
— Slublog

John Nolte from Big Hollywood puts it well here. Basically, we just attacked a Middle Eastern country with no Congressional authorization.

Where is the anti-war movement?

I'd love to claim credit for the idea, but it was all DrewM. His brain, my photoshopping.

6 The hypocrisy is astounding, but some of the commenters make the point that the mid 2000s protestors weren't protesting the war so much as a Republican running one, specifically one they hate; and one who refused to try to sell it or even defend it after a time.

9 From last night.

OT From AT: Obama Attacks Libya, and Where's Congress?

We have a runaway government acting against the interests of the United States and beyond its legal authority. Does anyone have the backbone to stop it and hold Obama accountable? Will there be an international war crimes trial for Barack Obama?

Seems like the short cuts might finally catch up with bho.....not.

Seems like the press is carrying his water. Not a word about warmongering. If he were a Repub, there would be hell to pay.

17 If I could so say for a fact that Ka-daffy had invaded America allies and was taking routinely taking shots at American pilots patrolling an armistice-imposed no fly zone, I'd say, sure, take the bastard out. As it was, ever since he saw pics of American troops checking Saddam for lice he behaved himself, no better or not worse than any other dictator out there. Why are we doing this? Do we have ANY idea who the people that we are now fighting for ARE? What they believe in? That they are not stooges of Tehran, for starters? Not the local chapter of the Muslim Brotherhood? Why the Rush to War? Why was Congress not consulted? Why is Obama hiding out in Rio? And... how did Moochelle's Brazilian wax turn out?

I've heard from multiple sources that a main source of the "fighters" used against us in Iraq and Afghanistan are from the Benghazi area of Libya. That should tell you everything about there intentions.

Ghaddafi is a bastard, much worse than the Shah, but whomever succeeds him is going to be worse, particularly for US interests.

27 "The core principle that has to be upheld here is that when the entire international community (ME), almost unanimously, says that there is a potential humanitarian crisis about to take place, that a leader (THANK G-D YOU HAVE ME NOW AND DARFUR DOES NOT COUNT CLOONEY HAS THAT COVERED) who has lost his legitimacy decides to turn his military on his own people (PROMISE DOUBLE PINKY SWEAR I WOULD NEVER DO THAT) , that we can't simply stand by with empty words, that we have to take some sort of action (NOT LIKE THAT EVIL BUSH). I think it's also important to note that the way that the U.S. took leadership (NOT LIKE THE ICKEY BUSH AND CHENEY) and managed this process ensures international legitimacy and ensures that our partners, members of the international coalition (SWEAR THE FREEDOM FIGHTERS ARE NOT ALIGNED WITH THE MUSLIMS BROS) , are bearing the burden of following through on the mission as well. Because, as you know, in the past there have been times when the United States acted unilaterally (CHENEY AGAIN!) or did not have full international support (SEE THE FRENCH LIKE US - THEY REALLY REALLY LIKE US), and as a consequence typically it was the United States military that ended up bearing the entire burden," President Obama said about Libya at a press conference in Chile today. /BTW ... did you catch that stupendous outfit Michelle was sporting today ... loved it so did Reggie! /no Newports were harmed in this statement

42 Our son describing a crash, outside a bar on Okinawa his staff sgt. and the guys dealt with, prior to the ambulance arriving:

"So we heard this huge crash, and our Staff Sgt. said, 'Let's go, guys', and we ran outside. There was a car upside down on fire. Someone ran inside and got a crowbar from the bar tender. We pulled the woman out. We went over to the cab driver, and he was unconscious with a compound fracture in his right arm. One of the Marines pulled off his t-shirt and cut it into strips, and applied tourniquets. Another lady in another car, in spite of her air bag, her head was split from front to back. She died with us."

Yes Daffy is a douche bag and deserves to be taken down, but why are we the ones taking point on this?

58 Slu, You knock out consistently good, funny work. Pay no attention to bitching. Since you asked, though: If you're using the lasso tool hook can try doing a slight blur before cutting the image. This gives a softer edge. Alternate is a quick blurring of the edges, using the filter or the blur tool. Quick and dirty, though sometimes innaccurate, you can use the image extract tool. There are a ton of tutorials available for more complex & accurate methods, but these two usually do the trick for me for simple, throw together stuff.

Even if they try that manner of tortured excuse, it won't excuse Obama from the War Powers reporting requirements of Title 50 1543

He's mandated to explain this to the speaker of the house and president pro tem of the Senate within 48 hours, and his 60/90 day clock is running. Lacking congressional approval, he'll be forced to start withdraw after 60 days and be completely out in 90.

Great photoshop, for sure. Fly, fly, fly, Clarice.

This is one of the most amazingly hypocritical aspects of the left, and IMHO, it just recently cost lives.

When a Democrat is President and uses military force abroad, all the anti-war festering and hyper-ventilating of the liberals goes silent. Whatever rationale is given is just fine to them. When a Republican is President, no reason is ever enough.

The worst part to me is that I will always believe the Iraq engagement would have been much less bumpy, would have been less prolonged, and less lives would have been lost had the left/Democrats not undermined the war effort so venomously. Their vicious flouting of the motto about politics ending at the water's edge encouraged and enabled the enemy, and the perception of a house divided prolonged the struggle. Scum.

And don't even talk about the "right to dissent". There is an appropriate way to do that and there is an inappropriate way, and it isn't rocket science. Reagan showed the way when he was a candidate while American hostages were being held in Iran while Carter was President.
