The situation in Libya is deteriorating rapidly.\u00a0 It is clear that NATO went in half-cocked with no clear mission and has only succeeded in wasting at least $1 billion and countless lives with no tangible results.\u00a0 They thought they would lob in a few bombs and Gaddafi would fold like a cheap umbrella.\u00a0 They were wrong.\u00a0 Now NATO is running out of planes, ships and ammunition.\u00a0 Our typically limp wristed European allies, not Gaddafi, are the ones ready to fold.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bush with regard to the war in Iraq, just praised Bush in comparison to Obama.\u00a0 Kucinich pointed out, correctly, that unlike Barack Obama; Bush did consult congress and ask for authorization before going to war.\u00a0 Now when an extreme left wing guy like Kucinich makes this kind of comment it is proof positive that Obama has lost the extreme left wing base of the Democratic Party.\u00a0<\/p>\n http:\/\/thehill.com\/blogs\/blog-briefing-room\/news\/166789-criticizing-obama-kucinich-credits-bush-for-asking-congress-to-go-war<\/a><\/p>\n The latest poll results show public support for our military intervention is Libya is evaporating:<\/p>\n http:\/\/www.presstv.ir\/detail\/184288.html<\/a><\/p>\n \u00a0Obama desperately needs support, either from Democrats or Republicans.\u00a0 But, he is making it nearly impossible for anyone to give him that support.\u00a0 In his latest move, he is refusing to give congress any more information:<\/p>\n \u00a0http:\/\/thehill.com\/blogs\/blog-briefing-room\/news\/166871-white-house-says-libya-report-should-suffice<\/a><\/p>\n \u00a0Obama\u2019s political support is leaking like a sieve.\u00a0 One of the few people still supporting our efforts in Libya is John McCain.\u00a0 Yet while McCain continues to support the mission, in doing so he does even more damage to Obama:<\/p>\n \u00a0http:\/\/thehill.com\/blogs\/floor-action\/senate\/166883-mccain-slams-obama-yet-supports-libya-effort-<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cThe administration made an announcement that will strike most of my colleagues as a confusing breach of common sense,\u201d said McCain, referring to a 32-page report released by the White House that argues the Libya mission does not need congressional authorization because it doesn\u2019t amount to \u201chostilities.\u201d <\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cThe administration sought the blessings of the United Nations, the Arab League and NATO before using force in Libya but still has not sought a similar authorization or statement approval from the representatives of the American people,\u201d McCain said. <\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n The accumulated consequences of all this delay, confusion and obfuscation has been a wholesale revolt in Congress against the administration’s policy.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n In other words, McCain is acknowledging that Obama is an incompetent boob, but argues we still need to support him because losing to Gaddafi would be even worse.\u00a0 When your friends are talking like this, you don\u2019t need enemies.\u00a0<\/p>\n Today this situation has exploded.\u00a0 Both Democratic and Republican leaders are stunned and outraged.\u00a0 The problem is that Obama has lied one too many times.\u00a0 Those of us who have been paying attention already know that Obama is the liar in chief.\u00a0 He lied about his personal history.\u00a0 He lied about his relationship with William Ayers.\u00a0 He lied about his relationship with Reverend Wright.\u00a0 He lied about his home purchase.\u00a0 He lied about his health care plan.\u00a0 He lied about his political appointees.\u00a0 He lied about the economy.\u00a0 He lied about the jobs he created.\u00a0 But the main stream media just continued to give him a free pass.\u00a0 But now he has lied about a war in a way that is beyond ridiculous.\u00a0 The following article explains this very well:<\/p>\n http:\/\/hosted.ap.org\/dynamic\/stories\/U\/US_US_LIBYA?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2011-06-17-03-14-56<\/a><\/p>\n \u00a0We have got drone attacks under way, we’re spending $10 million a day,” Boehner told reporters. “We’re part of an effort to drop bombs on Gadhafi’s compound.
