Libya

[Townsend]

That's rich. You tuck tail and run from this forum and you got the nads to accuse me of wearing a skirt?

"that's rich"? "tuck tail"?

Do you still say "rue the day"?

You're insults are weak and meaningless.  You attempt to drift the thread so you can start some girl fight about how you're mistreated or some crap.

Get a new gig.

Meanwhile, in Libya...

President Bush should have been that smart.

Would have been, should have been, couldn't have been.

" this movement of change cannot be turned back"
It's that inevitability of the Arab Spring wave that has made the difference.
That and the fact that BushCheney is no longer the driving force. This administration has, rhetorically, been with the protestors, paving the way for change at the international level while scrupulously avoiding getting into it at the local level. In the case of Libya, the imminent massacre was the spur that drove US to action. Had this been a McCain/Palin administration, we'd have helped Mubarak squash the Egyptian People, helped Ben Ali squash the Tunisian People and the rest of the Arab Spring would have been aborted before it got rolling.
This is exactly the difference that I voted for.

The Bush Doctrine foreign policy that aims for world hegemony, that emphasizes a go-it-alone posture, that abandons diplomacy and embraces firepower, has brought US nothing but trouble, hundreds of thousands dead and wounded, trillions in debt, major damage to our international relations and prestige. Obama's approach is diametricaly opposed, cooperation, coalition, not of the billing, but a genuine coalition of our allies and of the Arab League, exhausting non-violent means before committing force, taking a supporting role, handing off command, et cetera.

Just try to picture Dick Cheney making that speech. Or McCain.
Actually, forget it, neither of them would have worked it this way so the speech would never be given.

Now that's a Peggy!
Hey, we all know that she is a Cyclops (one eye).  What do you call someone with two eyes?

Wait for it...

Here it comes....

A Bi-cyclops.

It's just hitting the other major news sources.
 
Marine troops have also been mobilized from camp Lejune. The 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit Embarks To Libya today With 2,200 Marines.

What a difference a day makes.

Does this mean that Oliver North is coming out of retirement?

Once a Marine, always a Marine.
