No-bama

January 16, 2012

In trying to decide who should be our next President, we first have to ask if our current President deserves a second term. This should be based upon his performance in office, not on the political party to which he belongs. Does Obama deserve a second term ? Let's look at his record. I have [...]

Coming Back From Iraq

October 24, 2011

When President Obama announced that all US troops will be coming home from Iraq by the end of the year, he said it was a campaign promise fulfilled. He didn't bother to remind us it was George W. Bush's promise that was being fulfilled, not his own. Obama's campaign promise was to have us out [...]

Qaddafi Sleeps With The Fatwas

October 21, 2011

What can I say about the demise of Libyan strongman Myanmar Godaffy, the man whose name we never learned to spell ? Quadiffi lived by the sword and died by the sword. His death serves as a warning to would-be dictators everywhere. Your injustices, terrorist acts, and totalitarian trampling of the people's rights will no [...]

At Least Obama Is Ending The Wars

August 21, 2011

I've been pretty hard of President Obama, mainly for running up trillions of dollars in debt every year he's been in office, and for jacking up federal spending at a time we didn't have a plan in place to pay for our existing spending. Obama also blew a trillion bucks on a failed stimulus plan [...]

Dissent No Longer Patriotic

June 28, 2011

Secretary Of State Hillary Clinton was asked recently about House Majority Leader John Boehner's critique of the Obama admnistration's continued pursual of war in Libya without congressional approval. Oops. I apologize. The Obamans say the Libyan war isn't a war. I should have referred to it as the Libyan hostilities. Oops again. The Obamans say [...]

Obama Says, "What Libyan War ?"

June 16, 2011

In order to deflect the fact that he has not complied with the War Powers Act or the Constitution by unilaterally going to war in Libya without the authorization of Congress, President Obama has chosen an interesting tactic – he is denying the existence of the war: The White House, pushing hard against criticism in [...]

Libyan War Legality Expires

May 22, 2011

It's been more than 60 days since the onset of American military involvement in Libya. Here's The Hill to tell us why that is important: U.S. operations in Libya hit the 60-day mark Friday, but Congress has grown largely silent on the administration’s unilateral intervention into the war-torn North African nation. The 1973 War Powers [...]

CIA To Vet Libyan Rebels…And More

March 31, 2011

Now that we're already backing the Libyan rebels and have gone to war to assist them against Qaddafi's troops, President Obama has decided it's time to figure out who these rebels are that we're defending with our military and money. Great thinking, Mr. President. We sure wouldn't rush to war without having all the facts [...]

Costs Of The Obama Doctrine

March 30, 2011

The war in Afghanistan is costing us over $9 billion per month. The entire GDP of Afghanistan is $11.75 billion PER YEAR. We've been in Afghanistan nearly a decade, and Obama has us committed there until 2014. I was in favor of fighting this war, but it seems increasingly useless as time goes on…and on…and [...]

Situation Normal…

March 24, 2011

I didn't quite know what to make of a President who would launch an attack on Libya as he flew off with his family to South America for some sightseeing and chats with trading partners. That seemed pretty odd. Then I found out the Secretary Of Defense, Robert Gates, was in Moscow talking to the [...]

Attack On Libya

March 21, 2011

Before initiating military strikes against Libya yesterday to implement a no-fly zone and prevent Muammar Gaddafi's air force from killing Libyan rebels, the U.S. coalition obtained the approval of the Arab League. The approval of the Arab League led to the approval of the United Nations Security Council. With those approvals (but not the approval [...]

Going To War Again ?

March 19, 2011

My television keeps telling me we're going to war again, this time in Libya, to stop Muammar Gaddafi from killing the Libyan rebels who have taken over most of that country. My television keeps saying this will be our third war in the Middle East, which will really make it look like we have it [...]
