Today is great, the middle east is in flames because of obama, it will cost him the election and our country can be saved.

My whole office is literally giggling with happiness and excitement. It's all anybody is talking about, how this is truly the end for obama.

It's glorious. Please keep up the rioting muslims!
 
Granted that I typically enjoy seeing grown men mutually masturbate each other the activity in here really is beyond the pale of sanity.

When you say "office" you mean "secure mental facility" don't you?

Fundamentalism by its very definition is the opposite of a free society. I certainly do not want any religious belief, Christian, Islamic, Hebrew, Shinto, Hindu, etc., codified into laws that I must abide. One of the founding tenents of our nation, the right to religious freedom, would be thrown out the window as I'm sure the fundamentalists in control wouldn't stand for other religions competing against them.

Hey Mr President, thanks for that "apology" tour when you took office. I'm glad that plan of yours (which no other president in the history of the US ever took) to embrace our enemies as friends is working out so well.

LOL yes, Obama started the wars in the middle east 🙄

Um who else has started wars in the Middle East? I don't see Russian, England, etc buildings being blown up or their citizens being killed.

Bush may have not been the sharpest president, but at least you didn't hear him going around saying sorry and then bragging when 'he' killed one of their highest profiled people.

Of course he is! Half the people who have posted absolute bullshit in this thread would have you believe that he traveled to Tunisia and convinced that fruit vendor to stand in front of the government building and self immolate.

President Bush was just dumb enough to let Dick angle his way into the VP spot. It went all downhill from there....

but feel free to post more absolutely stupid shit.
 
What Obama did was blow the Republican party to smithereens by being rational and Presidential. The choice between a rational person and the psycho party is now apparent to the majority of Americans. Thanks Obama. You are an altered reality killer.

Obama was the one who pulled the trigger on it all. No Fly Zone never would have happened without American approval. Michael Lewis stated as much in an interview for NPR that Obama was the one who made the call for Libyan intervention, from pressure due to humanitarian reasons and allied interests. His top senior advisers were against it as was the Pentagon.

I really don't like attacking anyone for their religious beliefs. I can shit on all religions, but why? Attacks aren't necessary, but not all "attacks" are attacks. Some are facts or hard numbers people just don't want to hear because it can shake the foundation of their world view.

Evolution, cosmology, anyone?

Fanatics everywhere... Why continue to put ourselves in harms way to protect foreign economic interests? How much do us regular jerks actually benefit from this? I would like to see a chart. Meanwhile we should be dealing with the fanatics at home who demonize higher education and want to put faith-based "supplemental material" into science books.

The UN security council approved military action, specifically including the No Fly Zone. NATO was in agreement with the French very clearly in the lead on this one (they were first in). Given the adventurism we've subjected out allies to in other parts of the world it was going to be pretty hard for Obama not agree to at least a limited action and still call them allies.

and the US did most of the heavy lifting w/ respect to enforcing the "no-fly zone".

From there, the role was expanded to attack any support facilities that the Libyan government had; completely unrelated to flying.

Radar sites, C&C facilities; weapons storage facilites.

Everything that could be done without putting boots on the ground, the US did.
European equipment was unable to do the job; the US voluntarily stepped in to take over the workload.

You are uninformed/misinformed. Please do far more reading into the subject and see that the French and British begged for our involvement because THEY COULD NOT DO IT THEMSELVES. No US involvement, No "No Fly Zone" in effect. That's how it worked. Sorry you don't understand the situation as a whole, but I have been actively following the Arab Spring and ME activity for a significant amount of time now. I have posted resource after resource to back up my previous claims on this subject as well. France and England would have been unsuccessful and EVERYONE knew a No Fly Zone wouldn't do anything.

Read this for a little more enlightenment on the decisions Obama made. I'm not going to hate on him completely for it, it's a tough spot, but he should not have done it and he needs to correct the mistake by doing his utter best to get the American representative presence out of the ME.
