Still waiting for the outrage

[Quantum Windbag]

I am sure everyone remembers Obama saying that our involvement in Libya would last days, not weeks. The 60 day legal timeline for him having the military involved without Congressional approval is approaching and we are still there. What is he saying now?

The U.S. and NATO will continue military operations in Libya as long as Moammar Gadhafi keeps attacking his people, the White House said Friday as top U.S. officials met in Washington with leaders of the Libyan opposition. President Barack Obama's national security adviser, Tom Donilon, met at the White House with a delegation from the Libyan Transitional National Council, including top representative Mahmoud Jibril. While the U.S. stopped short of recognizing the Council as Libya's legitimate government, as France and Italy have done, the White House said in a statement following the meeting that the Council is a "credible interlocutor of the Libyan people."
Obama did not meet with the opposition leaders.
The meetings come as a deadline nears on the 60-day window Obama has to keep the U.S. military involved in the Libya campaign without congressional approval. While lawmakers do not appear likely to enforce the limits outlined in the War Powers Resolution, U.S. officials said they are looking for ways to keep U.S. action in Libya in compliance.

WH events, foreign policy, monetary policy, economy, immigration, the war, theres only like 5 people here QW that you can have this conservation with free of angst, for the vats majority, stfu you're a loon wingnutter....

We'll have to see what happens but yes, Obama is every bit the man Bush was and then some... It literally gets harder to separate a progressive liberal from a neocon daily...

I really do believe Obama wanted this to work out for him as a way to garner support but it quickly went bad. Pulling back would make Obama look kinda bad so "full steam ahead!" It is sad that war can be used as nothing more than a way to try and boost your approval ratings…

The right are the masters of outrage. False and real.
the left just cannot compare on the Beck/Hannity international outrage scale.

What does Jon Stewart call it, "Obama's Not-War?"

Outrage?

Outrage over a UN endorsed NATO executed mission?
Outrage that no us soldiers have been killed?
Outrage over supporting freedom fighters resisting a hated dictator?

The real outrage is Conservatives trying to equate Libya to Iraq

I'm moving to Yemen











Not really.......just ran outta shit to say

Let none of us forget that Iraq was marketed as not lasting more than 6 months nor costing more than around 40 billion.
and Bush said we would have no casualties.

Bush Predicted No Iraq Casualties, Robertson Says

By Alan Cooperman
Washington Post Staff Writer
Thursday, October 21, 2004; Page A09

The Rev. Pat Robertson said President Bush dismissed his warning that the United States would suffer heavy casualties in Iraq and told the television evangelist just before the beginning of the war that "we're not going to have any casualties."

How could their be casualties when they treat us as liberators?
Didn't they get the Mission Accomplished memo?

You are correct, there is no comparison.

In Iraq Bush had multiple UN resolutions, a coalition that included ground troops from 39 countries, and the prior approval of the US Congress.

In Libya Obama has 1 UN resolutions, a coalition of 17 countries, and no approval from Congress.

I have to agree, any attempt by Conservatives to equate Iraq and Libya is an outrage.
