So tonight we'll sit in Orwellian awe as we get treated to another shimmering Obama speech. I hope he answers the questions about Libya we've all been asking for a week now. Including why his administration told us this "kinetic military action" would last a "matter of days" and we're already going on a matter of weeks.
Last week, we posted a series of questions we'd like answered. Here are some more offbeat ones we'd also like to hear him address:
1. In the early days of the upheaval in Libya, Muammar Qaddafi claimed that al Qaeda was behind the unrest. Everyone laughed at the idea (except for me a few weeks ago on "The McLaughlin Group.") Now it seems that al Qaeda is all over Libya like white on rice, fanning the revolt in order to overthrow Qaddafi and get Libya all to themselves. Afghanistan pre-9/11 was a backwater thousands of miles away from Europe and the United States, and still al Qaeda was able to inflict enormous death and destruction from there. Imagine if al Qaeda grabs Libya, just a stone's throw from its main targets? What do you have to say about that possibility, Mr. President? And did you know about al Qaeda's presence in Libya before you ordered the "kinetic military action?" Was Qaddafi right?
2. We're not dependent on Libyan oil, but our European allies are. Are we in there to protect their oil supply? (Holy Halliburton!)
3. If Qaddafi falls, then what? If he doesn't, then what?
4. How long do you think we'll be involved there in some form? Are we looking at months or years? Shall we settle on a war analogy now? Vietnam? Iraq?
5. Your administration says it will not intervene in other places where dictators are also killing their own people: Iran, Syria, Yemen, Bahrain. Please give us a good answer as to why. Follow ups: those nations are more strategically important to the U.S. than is Libya. Are you aware of that? Do you not know the basic diplomatic and strategic dictum: never tell the enemy what you are prepared to do, and never tell him what you are not prepared to do? This is Commander-in-Chief 101.
6. Has it dawned on you that your Secretary of State may be setting you up? You two have hated each other since the 2008 primaries. You thought it would be safer to have her in the tent than conspiring outside it. But has it occurred to you that she and her Significant Other can just as easily plot against you while standing right next to you?
Let us hear the Oracle speak on these questions tonight.
.
What if the answer to all these questions is always the same: The Bama is busy doing what is best for the cause of islam.
He is causing instability everywhere but in iran. How much of a coincidence is that?
iran is the only place that has islamus maximus and therefore he won't aid the "rebels" there.

Oracle? There's only one temple oracle around here, and that's you, Frau Crowley.
As far as Hill and Bill plotting against him? Wanna bet this entire scenario was cooked up between the three of them fully four or more years ago?
They knew he was Kenyan-born; HE knew he was Kenyan born; so they let him serve one term, then pull out for health reasons. And come back as veep running mate. Maybe to serve another day, who knows, as no one will be paying attention to the birther issue of a VEEP!!!
Strange, but it would go like this:
2008-2012 Obama
2012-2020 Clinton
2020-2024 Obama
2024-2032 Clinton (Chelsea)
Think the DNC could be THAT smart?
Think the American People could be THAT weary of our Nazi GOP endless wars and Big Business raptor fascism and Tea Party racism?
Think the American People would DIE for another lighting war of no US casualties a la Kosovo as compared to Afghaninam and Iraqnam?
I DO!! CURSES!!

It seems like he spend the vast majority of the time congratulating himself on his great leadership skills and boasting about all the lives he saved. It reminds me of his economic policy and all the jobs he created and "saved". No one can prove either how many lives he saved or how many jobs he saved so he can go around blabbing that he is the great savior.
I didn't hear anything about going to Congress to obtain approval. He didn't address that issue at all. He owed it to the American people to either state he was going to Congress to get ex-post facto approval, or explain why he doesn't need approval.
Secondly, I'm concerned that he stated originally Qaddafi had to go, then in order to get Arab approval for the no-fly zone he abandoned the Qaddafi mission and agreed to totally change the policy at the drop of a dime. Is that leadership?
And finally, he never addressed the cost and how it effects the other two wars we are involved in. We have a $1.6 trillion dollar deficit this year and the DEMs refuse to cut spending whatsoever, and he refuses to address the cost.
In the final analysis, you are right Monica, this speech didn't answer any questions and was a waste of 30 minutes of our lives.

FLASH. BULLETIN. BREAKING SCUMBOT NEWS!
For everyone aware of how the scumellicons stink up Monicamemo. Here is relevant Breaking News of what they are and what enables them.....
////////The liberal group Media Matters has quietly transformed itself in preparation for what its founder, David Brock, described in an interview as an all-out campaign of “guerrilla warfare and sabotage” aimed at the Fox News Channel.
The group, launched as a more traditional media critic, has all but abandoned its monitoring of newspapers and other television networks and is narrowing its focus to Fox and a HANDFUL OF CONSERVATIVE WEBSITES, which its leaders view as political organizations and the “nerve center” of the conservative movement. The shift reflects the centrality of the cable channel to the contemporary conservative movement, as well as the loathing it inspires among liberals — not least among the donors who fund Media Matters’ staff of about 90, who are arrayed in neat rows in a giant war room above Massachusetts Avenue.

gringoNOTE: One question remaining would be: Why does a (sic) Conservative Warrior Princess enable Sorosbots at her website? She and her webmaster could easily ban them. All it takes is a fingertip. But Conservative Warrior Princess will not, even though she's known to have quick fingers when needed. And why not, when no self-respecting site allows disruptive scum in the name of "free speech."....You mean you still haven't figured it out?
Posted by: gringoman | March 28, 2011 at 10:28 PM
Because one look at my ISP number in the logs tells Frau Crowley, that as much as you jackasses NEED to believe I'm being paid by Soros or anyvon else, it's not the case and the ISP number belongs to a private citizen.
Who just happens to be a fictional character from a most excellent movies SERIES!!!
Truth be told, Dr. Evil doesn't even pay me; I give it up to my man for FREE!!!
WHO-VEE!!!
In fact, given the death threat hysteria YOU fostered, I imagine Frau Crowley knows just about everything there is to know about me, NOW.
Vich is good and fits PERFECTLY vith our moving to Mars plans!!

I think the RINOs are trying to let the air out of the Tea Party balloon. They want to discourage us so that we slink away in apathy because no matter what we do nothing ever changes.
I truly believe that the last thing they want is a REAL AMERICAN like Sarah Palin or John Bolton getting elected President in 2012. They'd rather deal with the Bama for another four years than give US hope.

Republican Party + Democrat Party = different rhetoric but same overarching "progressive" agenda, thus an inevitable progressive outcome.
As long as the Tea Party work within the framework of the "two party system", their efforts to reform government will be in vain.
The next 6 months will either prove my contention absolutely correct, or only marginally correct. The key to this is what House Republicans do with the funding for ObamaCare. Will they strip it out of the budget, or just tinker around the edges like Boner and Cantor want to?
Soon we shall know the answer....

The absurd rationale of "Butinsky to protect the Libya's civilians" is the sinister setting up by our Commie Globalist Dictator (remember "I am a citizen of the world") of the future withdrawal of all support of Israel when they defend themselves against the rockets Hamas & Hezbollah fire into that country. This anti-semite administration just might use such a rationale to attack Israel as they defend themselves from terror attacks by Hezbollah and Hamas.

About Obama's speech last night: He revealed, yet again, he is more than willing to walk in lockstep with the neocon agenda. But who's is surprised by that?
The HoB, along with all the rest of the neocons, must be very proud of their precious little Barry's performance.

The only difference between Obama and the head RINO in charge (McCain) is that McCain would have launched the Cruise missiles sooner and armed the Rebels. Never mind that he has no idea who they are...

I am on another blog, kept by radio hostess Monica Crowley. We have an army of lib-trolls spamming things up and the hostess takes no steps to clean up the blog a little.
I think that the way trolls are treated is exemplary here on MB, but we simply don't have as many Conservatives posting as frequently as you guys do here.
Trolls on MB are quickly put in their place, whereas it seems that we have at least one who is a "professional", judging by the time and volume s/he/it puts into disrupting our conversations.
Libs seem to know to attack our Conservative blogs because that makes a bad impression of the casual surfer, whom libs don't want to make up their own minds.
Thus the constant nasty interruptions, insults and topic changes started by lib-trolls.
Everyone has stated they'd like to see Ms. Crowley and her webmaster take action, yet to no avail.
If any of you have an idea how I can possibly drive away a trollOP who is obviously paid to disrupt, please let me know.
I don't want to let the libs take over and destroy what was once a 100% Conservative blog.

Sloppy is as sloppy does. If Ms. Crowley thinks that little of her blog and her readers, maybe it's time to bail on her. Disrespect doesn't deserve loyalty.
Van is great about keeping MB looking good, and that's one reason I'm here all the time.
As for the Donald, I say "RIGHT ON". He doesn't give a d@mn what anyone thinks of him, so he's going for it...with a big bullhorn. If it throws the Kenyan punk a curve and disturbs his game a little, it'll be worth it. If there IS something to uncover (doubt it, but hey...) the DOUBLE good.
"Hey Donald...ask about his COLLEGE records!" Those, to me, would be REALLY interesting, more so than the BC. I mean, he's already done most of his damage, so...

I posted on Moonbattery to ask for advice on troll suppression and a discussion broke out over the definition of troll. I am thinking of asking them all to come here and take a look if they need an illustration of what constitutes a troll.
I love how they handle libs who dare even post on that board.

Termites emit ten times more CO2 than humans.
The overwhelming majority (97%) of carbon dioxide in the
earth's atmosphere comes from nature, not from man.
Volcanoes, swamps, rice paddies, fallen leaves, and even insects and bacteria produce carbon dioxide, as well as methane. According to the journal Science (Nov. 5, 1982), termites alone emit ten times more carbon dioxide than all the factories and automobiles in the world.
