I'm hesitant, in any case, to call for an immediate end when I'm not on the scene and have little of the available information. And even if I have objections, I still would like to see the mission accomplished successfully, however it is defined. <br /><br />The primary point was defending the president's power to use the power of the CIC when he sees a national interest. <br /><br />Z-man: The contrasting of Bush and Obama is the reason I wrote this post. As I said, I'm not sure whether this was the right move. In Iraq, it took me years to come to the conclusion it might have not been the best thing. So I'm hesitant to immediately jump on the POTUS until things become clearer. The next post covers that more clearly.Patrick Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16377933168305160179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1250195226200160668.post-58618387623204096212011-03-25T10:21:29.850-04:002011-03-25T10:21:29.850-04:00My thing is for conservatives why was it ok for Bu...My thing is for conservatives why was it ok for Bush to go into Iraq but Obama should stay out of Libya? I'm not even saying whether both wars are right or wrong or in-between but the issue for me is the usual fault lines that develop in politics. Bush gets to start a war and that's good, Obama does something and that's bad.Z-manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06158941102166215285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1250195226200160668.post-90642068849351005172011-03-24T23:13:20.420-04:002011-03-24T23:13:20.420-04:00Khadaffy is such a relic of another age.

Geez.<br /><br />I'm surprised some in the conservative media haven't run with the fact that Khadaffy is one of those socialist leaders. A rather typical socialist, as it is, with his self-glory, megalomania and strict fascist rule.<br /><br />Like Saddam Hussein and the Assad dynasty.dmarkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07269773990064736457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1250195226200160668.post-25542612724874214842011-03-24T16:53:54.498-04:002011-03-24T16:53:54.498-04:00I find it interesting that you say,
"I actua...I find it interesting that you say,<br /><br />"I actually have fewer problems with the actions the President has taken than his words on the issue."<br /><br />One of the problems that I see (and I am not accusing you of it) is that many people make decisions on who they support based on words, not actions. Politicians have a tendency to say one thing but do another. We need to look at actions and base our decision on their actions, not their words.<br /><br />Now, maybe that's the point you are making when you talk about "mealy-mouthed bullshit", but ultimately it is about whether our actions in Libya are good or bad.Jerry Critterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01870618647449723147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1250195226200160668.post-37930951490724849072011-03-24T14:06:51.735-04:002011-03-24T14:06:51.735-04:00A very good blog but no mention of the Amazonian G...A very good blog but no mention of the Amazonian Guard.
