No Ex but you sure have one up yours. I just wonder why the hell we are discusssing baseball when people are dying.

So would you arm the libyian rebels or would you let them get slaughtered?

It's a question BO must wrestle with every day lately and his response, we will take our ball and go sit in the bleechers. It must be hard to conduct a covert war when you have your allies looking over your shoulder

Yeah I'd give them a 33 oz Louisville Slugger and say It's a beautiful day for a ballgame... Let's play two! (Ernie Banks)

Well that might be fine if they knew what you are talking about and you did the same for daffy's mob, but the whole thing is a little one sided at the moment, aside from the rebels claiming victories that look more like traps

Daffy is losing some high profile defectors. If his inner circle crumbles we'll see regime change.

No Tom don't you know daffy doesn't need anyone, the people love him and will die for him and while we focus on what this idiot is doing thousands die elsewhere

I find it both sick and sad that Daffy is now pleading with BO to stop the war. This fellow has truly lost perspective. He has gone from needing no one to needing Obama

Obama and Daffy are birds of a feather.

Yeah... thats a fact I won't argue.

Does daffy have ongoing renovations. I heard he hadn't even fixed up the hole Reagan made. Is it true BO now receives visitors at the back door

Well weeks have gone by and still Daffy is allowed to kill civilians with excuses being made that his forces are dug in in civilian areas. The answer predator drones we all know how good they are at targeting forces in civilian areas. When will we get real about this and realise protecting civilians means troops on the ground?

Nonetheless, Obama may be moving toward something resembling a doctrine. One of his advisers described the President’s actions in Libya as “leading from behind.” That’s not a slogan designed for signs at the 2012 Democratic Convention, but it does accurately describe the balance that Obama now seems to be finding. It’s a different definition of leadership than America is known for, and it comes from two unspoken beliefs: that the relative power of the U.S. is declining, as rivals like China rise, and that the U.S. is reviled in many parts of the world. Pursuing our interests and spreading our ideals thus requires stealth and modesty as well as military strength. “It’s so at odds with the John Wayne expectation for what America is in the world,” the adviser said. “But it’s necessary for shepherding us through this phase.”

Actually doing nothing would be a far better doctrine than the "make it up as you go" doctrine they have been using.

Really I thought he had switched to doing nothing as distinct from bombing the crap out of everything

He's doing what the "international community " and his Valkyrie trio tell him to do.

"Valkyrie" can we expect an assassination attempt any time soon?

Maybe . Lindsey Graham suggested that very thing this week .

But my reference is about his 'Amazon' advisors Evita Clintoon, Samantha Power, and Susan Rice .

Ah I hear Wagner playing and don't you just love the smell of naplam in the morning. It occurred to me the other day that the solution to the problem in Libya is aircav and assault heliocopters. Now that is a unique US capability, I wonder why it hasn't occurred to BO. They don't need to actually touch ground.

Oh I remember now the last time they used heliocopters in Africa they did actually touch ground

Speaking of the international community, ironically Syria is about to join the UN Human Rights Council while rolling tanks out against their own people.
