#1 Even Obama has his teaching moments. For example:

Did you know the backpeddle was to the left of the clutch?

#2 Not exactly the same as the Libya situation, but reminds me of it. Association and all......
==========================
In the beginning there was a plan.
Then came the assumptions.
The plan was without substance.
The assumptions were without form.
Darkness was upon the faces of the workers.

And they spoke amongst themselves saying: "It is a crock of sh*t and it stinketh!

And the workers went unto their Supervisors and said: "It is a pail of dung and none may abide the odour thereof!"

And the Supervisors went unto their Managers saying: "It is a container of excrement and it is very strong, Such that none may abide by it!"

And the Managers went unto the Management Committee saying: "It is a vessel of fertilizer and none may abide its strength!"

And the Management Committee spoke amongst itself saying unto one another:

"It contains that which aids plant growth and it is very strong!"

And the Management Committee gave counsel unto the Vice Presidents, saying unto them: "It promotes growth and it is very powerful!"

And the Vice Presidents went unto the President saying unto him: "This new plan will activily promote the growth and vigour of the company with powerful effects!"

And the President looked upon the plan and saw that it was good. And so the plan became policy.

And that's how sh*t happens.

#3 That Obama Libya Plan
First we'll coax 'Daffy out of his bunker with a trail of delicious candy. Then, once his belly is full and he's all sleepy and happy, we'll calmly explain that we don't approve of what he's been doing and it's not very nice and we wish he'd stop. And he'll be like, "Whoa, I never thought of it that way. You guys are my friends! I like you!" And then everybody will hug and cry, and then get a little embarrassed about crying, and then make some jokes to cover up being embarrassed. And then a beautiful rainbow will appear, and a shy unicorn will walk down it, and 'Daffy will ride it to the North Pole, and he'll spend the rest of his life helping Santa make wonderful toys for all the good little girls and boys, and there'll be hot chocolate, and, and, and nobody will ever ever die again for any reason ever.

#4 "No one starts a war -- or rather, no one in his senses ought to do so -- without first being clear in his mind what he intends to achieve by that war and how he intends to conduct it," - Von Clausewitz.
