Nice job Barry... now we're stuck with it or we look like fools if we drop it and let Kadaffy win.
Why don't you take Michelle and the girls on another vacation?

Good get our forces and equipment the hell out of there. Nobody knows what the goal of these bombing and no fly zones were supposed to do any ways. The rebels made no solid ground and Gaddafi was never a target of these strikes. This is nothing but a waste of money and time not to mention unconstitutional. What nobody is talking about either is that our troops shot 6 rebels that were trying to help our soldiers who went down the other day. With screw ups like that the anger will be turned against us yet again.

Who do you think the "meat" of NATO is? AND, the US still is running all of the close in attacks on Kadaffy ground forces... My son is in Italy (USAF) working 16 hour days maintaining and repairing the F-16 munitions systems as part of this effort.
Once again, the US takes the dangerous end of the stick from a Useless Nations..umm, I mean United Nations resolution

(Reuters) - A NATO decision to take charge of a no-fly zone over Libya does not include conducting air strikes against Muammar Gaddafi's ground forces, a mission that will remain in U.S. hands until a new command deal is reached, Vice Admiral Bill Gortney said on Friday.
Gortney, chief of the U.S. military's Joint Staff, said the U.N.-backed operation against Gaddafi's forces involved three different missions -- an arms embargo, a no-fly zone and protecting Libyan civilians.
He said the U.S. military initially assumed command of all three missions in order to quickly implement the U.N. resolution authorizing the action. But President Barack Obama and other U.S. officials made it clear the United States would hand off control of the operation as soon as feasible.
The Western alliance already has assumed control of the arms embargo, led by an Italian vice admiral, and has agreed to take over the no-fly zone in coming days, Gortney said. But there is disagreement over the third mission, which includes air strikes to stop Gaddafi from attacking his opponents.
"This mission will remain in U.S. hands until such time as the coalition is ready to assume it," Gortney told a briefing at the Pentagon. "My expectation is that it, too, could fall under NATO. But ... these are decisions and discussions ongoing at the political level and I just would not speculate right now where it will end up."
WASHINGTON (AP) -- To a nation and a Congress seeking answers, President Barack Obama on Monday will offer his most expansive explanation of the U.S. role in the Libyan war, delivering a speech that is expected to cover the path ahead and his rationale about the appropriate use of force.
Obama's 7:30 p.m. EDT speech, to be given from the National Defense University in Washington, comes as leading Republican lawmakers and some from his own party have pressed him for clarity about the goals and exit strategy of the United States. Obama and top U.S. security officials spent about an hour talking to lawmakers on Friday, with the president answering direct questions from critics.
we are just doing the dirty work of the arab nations INABILITY to control the extremist religious morons....they have to save face because these years they REFUSE to slap 'em down......that is why religion SHOULD ALWAYS REMAIN PERSONAL and NOT a national agenda.....the rich leaders of the middle east sat around in their comfy palaces and fly around jet setting ALL OVER THE WORLD including America and really didn't care what their plebs were doing....as long as no one looked up their skirts........
America does a better job at keeping their skirts down.....the plebs haven't seen the whole picture, but with the new media of the W.W.W. they have to move faster.....
...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......
The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
STOP BEING GOOD DEMOCRATS---STOP BEING GOOD REPUBLICANS--START BEING GOOD AMERICANS
