Fer cryin' in a bucket!  This guy screws up everything he touches.  I wouldn't put it past him - I swear - to sign on to this "action" just in order to burn through more money.

I doubt spending more money even enters into his mind.  It's not his money anyway, so he can do whatever he likes...he is Duh Wun after all.

And his response is pure Clinton...lob missiles and make things worse and then run away.

And all we got out of it is a worse situation than when we started, more debt we didn't want,  reduced munitions we cannot afford to replace and more derision in the international community coming around the bend.

A quadruple screw job.

I was thinking precisely this. Either for the joy of burning through more pretend money, or (as I now think), a way to paint Republican "deficit hawks" into a corner by using their own interventionist, pro-military positions against them.

But his intervention isn't sanctioned by Congress and has no goal other than his usual amorphous hopey/changey BS!  Not that this chickensh*t Congress can exploit the difference!  In a game of chicken, our leadership is blinking right from the start!

If I heard correctly they are in the process of "getting out" two of our pilots.

Yes, "mechanical" problems...

...pilots being recovered...we are told...

...more than just AWACS, the Eagle's I am guessing came out of Italy.

 Mechanical problems caused by rebel anti aircraft rounds is probably closer to being accurate.

Make no mistake, Obama’s incompetent handling of Libya before and after the decision to use force has only confirmed the widespread impression he is a weak leader, unable to handle the president’s weighty responsibilities in the international and military spheres. Worldwide, friends and adversaries alike have seen this weakness, and they will not hesitate to act upon in the future. Therein lies real peril for our country.
