There was plenty of noise about Obama not doing anything, until the bombing started, then it shifted from slamming Obama for "not doing anything" to slamming Obama for "doing too much".
We get it, you don't like Obama...
Obama did plenty initially; travelling, golfing.

Libya was experiencing a civil war. Ostensibly, we were going in to "protect civilians". Okay, I guess I can get on board with that. However, if we start assisting the rebels in any way, it ceases to be a civil war, and it becomes a war between them and us.

Do you want us involved in a third war, Goob? I sure don't...

So now that Obama is shooting at him, why aren't you applauding? Because we shouldn't be there.

How is your brain unable to process that?

Obama said we wouldn't have boot on the ground. Well, guess what? We've put intel people in Libya since this started. That certainly qualifies as "boots on the ground". Marines at Camp Pendleton are expecting to be deployed to, you guessed it, Libya.

You're supporting a third war; one which, not only we can ill-afford, but one in which we shouldn't be involved...

Now in diplomatic circles you can't just come out and say "This is what I want to do and here is the real reason why". Sure you can. It just requires a set of balls to do it.

We're reminded, on a daily basis, that Obama lacks said balls and, therefore, will never be man enough to speak the simple truth...

But US actions here seem to be much better aligned to US long term interests, than the invasion of Iraq, which was much more closely aligned with GOP political interests than any long term US interests. Jesus Christ.

This has nothing to do with Iraq. This is Obama's war, like it or not. Whether Iraq was a sound idea or not does nothing to change whether Libya is a good idea. Right now, it's not.

But, by all means, continue your tired liberal whining about Iraq and the GOP as if it might have any bearing, whatsoever, on how badly your Messiah is fucking up...
