It's appropriate and right.

And he'd be crazy not to take advantage of this, just like W did with the bullhorn amidst the hash and rubble on 9/11. He milked 9/11 for two Presidential terms.

It's a wreath. Sounds right to me given the emotions, closure and patriotism in NYC right now. Instead of making everything about Osama, finally we are remembering and honoring the heroes and victims.

If anything, they've continued to grow worse.


Let's leave the "margaritas on a beach" theory for coadie and caman.



Wait a minute... did you mean "losses in Iraq?" We didn't "lose" in Iraq. We went there to throw out Saddam and we did that. And, Libya isn't past tense ("what happened in Libya") - it's ongoing.



You're right about the mess that followed Saddam's ouster. I personally can't believe our DoD people and folks in the Bush admin didn't see those problems coming on... but then again, they obviously did buy into the intel we were getting from the Brits and the French that made Saddam's army out to be this colossal behemoth that would step into the vacuum and keep order.

The comparison between Iraq and Libya isn't in their respective battlefield situation. It's what we see when we look at the President's desk.

GWB took us into Iraq after 12+ years of Iraqi noncompliance to over a dozen Security Council Resolutions. Iraq was also openly firing upon and engaging our aircraft in the UN mandated No-Fly zones. They were shooting at Americans. This is an act of war in anyone's book. They also had failed to comply with the terms of the Kuwait/Gulf War cease fire agreement. Noncompliance with a ceasefire means that there is no "ceasefire..." The Gulf War of 1990/1991 had never really ended until Saddam was out.

The United States Congress met in a special joint session in 2003 to authorize the invasion of Iraq.

In Libya - The Obama Administration attacked a country that hadn't fired a shot at us since the Lockerbie bombing in 1988 - 23 years ago! The Obama administration attacked Libya with just a handful of allies (none from Africa where Libya is located) and WITHOUT Congressional authorization.

Imagine if GWB had attacked anyone without first getting Congressional authorization. We'd be listening to all of the media and press screaming hysterically about a "Constitutional Crisis!!!"

... but Obama? He gets a free pass to drop his bombs wherever he wants. The double standard is the "difference" between Iraq and Libya. In both cases we had (have) a President who is simply doing his best to protect Americans and American interests. In Obama's case - he gets support from his political opponents. In Bush's case - he got treatment that at times proved to be treasonous.
Pel, this is really a great post. Very astute observations. 100% on target.

I don't want SS to leave. I don't anybody leaving the forum. I promise you this place wiull grow very dull and bland if all we have are a bunch of folks that agree with each other. I've been on those forums and it is like looking at a white board with nothing written on it. I rarely go to those forums anymore. AFF has routinely been informative and entertaining primarily because of its diversity.

DON'T LEAVE SEASCAPES!!!!!!!

Also:

On the 2nd November, 2007, Benazir Bhutto let the world in on a very big secret: Osama Bin Laden is dead.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1uLdmct8_E


Two months after she gave the interview above, she was silenced - permanently.

2 minutes and 20 seconds into the video above, Benazir Bhutto told David Frost, that Osama Bin Laden was murdered by a man called Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh.


Added Note: I am a veteran and I support our troops, but sadly there have been leaders in high places who have been betraying our country and troops and are part of the "New World Order" working to merge us into their planned Luciferian one world government. More and more of our troops have been waking up to the NWO corruption at the higher levels of our government also.
Good grief...
