Attention Useful Idiots

The Republican Party needs YOU to keep attacking President Obama on Libya to continue to demoralize the left.  Step 1, GOP warpig hypocrisy:

House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner on Sunday called on President Barack Obama to explain the U.S. mission in Libya and how his administration intends to achieve its goals.

“The president is the commander-in-chief. But the administration has a responsibility to define for the American people, the Congress and our troops, what the mission in Libya is,” Boehner, a Republican, said in a statement.

“Before any further military commitments are made, the administration must do a better job of communicating to the American people and to Congress about our mission in Libya and how it will be achieved,” he said.

Right.  The same Orange Julius that asked no questions about Bush's years in Iraq and said this about our troops there:

"Long term, the investment that we’re making today will be a small price if we’re able to stop Al Qaeda here, if we’re able to stabilize the Middle East. It’s not only going to be a small price for the near future, but think about the future for our kids and their kids," he said.

Yeah, the thousands of our troops who died in Iraq?  Small price to pay in a war that dragged on for years, redefined the term "mission creep" and is STILL GOING ON.  But even though our mission in Libya has been so far limited to a bunch of cruise missiles, OJ wants to know what our mission is.  Iraq needed no explanation because SHUT UP AND LISTEN TO OUR GENERALS.

Moonie Times today:  "Obama's Illegal War"

With Thursday’s passage of United Natons Security Council resolution 1973, the United States is set to go to war against Libya. Removing Moammar Gadhafi from power would probably advance the cause of freedom, but the United Nations has no legal authority to take a step of this magnitude. By bowing to the will of the U.N. Security Council, President Obama is diluting the sovereign power of the United States.

Same Moonie Times six months ago:

President Obama was granted an opportunity to give a victory speech about Iraq on Tuesday, courtesy of George W. Bush. He mentioned President Bush in passing, essentially damning him with faint praise. If Mr. Bush had followed Mr. Obama’s strategic recommendations in 2007, the war in Iraq would have been lost years ago.

The Obama haters are dragging up all the same arguments they laughed at eight years ago.  The Useful Idiots on the left are going right along with the script, too.  So go ahead and watch the TV and blame Obama, guys...and watch the Republicans finish the country off in 2012.  The right is already attacking Obama as "having no exit strategy" in Libya, which coming from any Bush supporter is laughable.  But hey, let's continue to give these assholes cover, eh?

Or you know, you guys could just go The Full Nader.
