WASHINGTON Stretched thin by two wars, the U.S. military is spending upward of $1 billion in an international assault to destroy Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi's air defenses and save rebels from likely defeat, according to analysts and a rough calculation of the military operation so far.
And we just got started, wer going to spend billions bombing the shit out of Libya and god help us if we send in ground troops, Iraq part 2.
And we just got started, wer going to spend billions bombing the shit out of Libya and god help us if we send in ground troops, Iraq part 2.
And if history is a good predictor of our next moves....we will spend billions bombing the shit out of Libya, and then billions more to build back what we spent billions to bomb the shit out of....
So, basically, defecit spending is OK with the GOP and Tea Party as long as it is spent blowing other people up?
Per usual, VaYank is spot on, this is a time for people who claim to be fiscal conservatives (myself included) to prove it by speaking out against this.

We are lift holding ther bag as usual, this "coalition" is already falling apart and the US still has the lead in combat operations, so much for leading from the rear. We are going to have to put humpty dumpty back together again as usual.

what makes you think members of the tea party are not against it?
I have seen members of all walks of life against it...of all parties...of all ideologies.
I am sure there are some tea partyers that are for it as well....so are some democrats and so are some republicans.
Why are the tea partyers held to a standard of "all is either black or white"?
Me?
I was all for the no fly zone.....But I am not interested in our broke country spending all kinds of money tossing in tomohawks at 500K apiece.

Where do you get your info? Coalition is building. UA just sent in troops. we? We are not in this alone and our mission has ended with our turning it over to NATO.
Unlike Iraq and Afghanistan, this is not OUR war. We are just a small part of the mission. We do not call the shots. So stop with all the fear mongering rhetoric that it's WE.

WE do not have the money to start another war and no one will lend us the money. The support we have shown so far is just to show our support. NO MORE than that.

Sorry for the confusion, JH. I guess it is a matter of perspective for me about the "conservatives" on this board. While the Governor in WI was battling the unions, there were 3 - 5 posts on these boards a day in support of Walker, because "we are broke". Now, Obama has spent nearly a BILLION dollars that we do not have, and I see NO "conservatives" lashing out that "we are broke"?
Per usual, VaYank is spot on, this is a time for people who claim to be fiscal conservatives (myself included) to prove it by speaking out against this.
And I have seen many do it.
I dont understand the reason for this thread. There has been plenty of conservative opposition to this military action....
But, of course, such conservatives are being labelled as being against the military action ONLY becuase they are against everything Obama does....
But I wont go there right now.
