Excellent Job, President Obama!

no Americans died

Good job on Libya....
Now, what about Syria? Seems like a much bigger crisis, with a much larger toll on human life.
If overthrowing the leader of Libya was a good thing, seems he should be expected to get the ball rolling on Syria.

We need to ramp up our efforts on policing the world.
Surely you Obama supports can agree with me on that, no?

We're working on that as well. Annan has and continues to meet with al-Assad. Progress is being made. Hopefully this gets settled quickly and in a proper manner.

John McCain Pressing Hard for Consideration of Libyan No-Fly Zone

TOM DIEMER

Sen. John McCain said Thursday that establishing a no-fly zone over Libya should be a viable option for the United States military -- and saying so does not amount to "loose talk."

McCain (R-Ariz.) did not mention Defense Secretary Robert Gates by name at the Senate Armed Services Committee hearing, according to the Associated Press. But Gates has warned Congress about loose talk in connection with the difficult task of setting up a no-fly zone in response to Moammar Gadhafi's air offensive against rebel positions.

On Wednesday, in an appearance before House Appropriations Committee, Gates said establishing a no-fly zone to police Gadhafi's warplanes would involve a "big operation in a big country." It is doable, Gates testified, but he added, "Let's just call a spade a spade. A no-fly zone begins with an attack on Libya to destroy the air defenses. . . . And then you can fly planes around the country and not worry about our guys being shot down."

The debate came as Gadhafi launched airstrikes Thursday against two rebel-held towns. Gates, the highest ranking Republican in the Obama administration, is well respected on Capitol Hill, but McCain also has credibility as a onetime Navy pilot whose plane was shot down over Hanoi during the Vietnam war.

McCain said Thursday U.S. experience in southern Iraq beginning in 1992 suggests that keeping the skies clear over a contested zone is "not hard to do," The Hill newspaper reported. Even threatening a no-fly zone would amount to a "strategic deterrent," he said during an exchange with Army Gen. Martin Dempsey. "Deterrence" is an option the national command "should always have," Dempsey said.

Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) also endorsed serious consideration of a no-fly zone.

You might want to hold your horses Rebound..... President Obama today said that he wants to extend the Bush tax cuts ---- the same tax cuts we've been told by Democrats for the last 12 years that were "tax cuts for the rich!!!!".

And this week, Libya held elections, and elected a pro-Western leader.

I suppose if Obama had listened to the Republicans who scolded him for bombing Qadaffi, there would still be a President Qadaffi in Libya. Huh. I thought Republicans fancied themselves "military experts."

I suppose if Obama had conducted the campaign the way Bush conducted the Iraq War, we'd have spent $1 Trillion, lost thousands of American lives and facing down armed Libyan fighters. But costs of the Libyan campaign were minimal, no Americans died, and we even fought alongside our allies.

What a difference the right President makes!

Oh, and if you didn't notice this in the news, then please stop whining about the so-called left-wing bias in the media.

For everyone?

Well, for the rich. Remember, the Bush tax cuts only helped out the rich.

I just don't want rebound to give President Obama too much of a high-five today. President Obama very much wants to extend the Bush tax cuts for the rich.
