#20 I must complement Besoeker for his many postings. I have found your work very creative and original. I like your writing style. This was a creative moment to express something I believe he feels strongly about. Things like this will happen time to time. We just reflect upon it and move along. |

#19 'Jamahiriya'- "in theory, governed by the populace through local councils; in practice, an authoritarian state. This is EL Quaddafi's strength but most of this rebel group fail to recognize it. Forty years he has worked this way. It is the Arab way. The blood hate would last for generations should the rebels win some portion of that country. |

#18 I'm in agreement with Secret Master. I've never said boo against those who monitor this site, but "hard against the line"??? Please. Maybe its time for the AoS to have some of TW's relaxing tea. |

#17 Emoting? Cold and calculating sounds more like it. They just don't always calculate very well. |

#16 One of these days I'm gonna start a website called "Patriotic Chickens" but I doubt most people will get the reference. |

#15 You are correct, they deserve a better treatment. My apologies to Canis lupus familiaris everywhere. You know, I know this will probably get me the usual "tisk tisks" followed by parental lecturing, but since when did Rantburg become Politically Correct Burg? Why not let the man speak his mind? He's not making a death threat, using profanity, or calling for the overthrow of the duly elected government of the United States. What then, exactly, is the harm? I know I'm not the most regular poster here, but I've been a citizen of the 'burg almost since the beginning. People used to really RANT here. Now we just sort of cluck at each other like pithy chickens. |

#14 But if Besoeker is going to reference IEDs to try to justify the use of language like 'emoting bitches' it's fair to point out that the women in question did not push involvement in Afghanistan, but in Libya - the subject of this article. Not a mind reader, but I assume that Besoeker is referring to their role in the tightening of ROE's in Afghanistan and the diversion of air assets to Libya, both of which could result in higher casualties. |

#13 Yes, I know where Besoeker is posting from. And I know the costs to military families of our current wars. I've buried a few friends and ex-students myself over the last few years. But if Besoeker is going to reference IEDs to try to justify the use of language like 'emoting bitches' it's fair to point out that the women in question did not push involvement in Afghanistan, but in Libya - the subject of this article. |

#12 lotp, Besoeker is supporting Afghanistan at the moment. I assume "the kid from Omaha" is not theoretical. Besoeker, I know a slice of imaginary melktaart and chamomile tea won't help much, under the circumstances, but that and my tears for the kid's voluntary sacrifice to keep us safe are all I have to offer. Along with my prayer that it will turn out not to have been in vain. |

#11 IEDs are killing our troops in Libya, Besoeker? |

#9 Roger, got it 5x5. However, you simply can't reassemble a 19 year old kid from Omaha, who's just stepped on a pressure plate IED for his country. In fact, you oftentimes can't find his weapon or anything below his upper chest. Please forgive me if I get a little carried away about "community organizers" and ...concerned others who have no skin the game and never will, ordering these young kids off to failed foreign misadventures and death. It just doesn't sit well with me. |

#8 Besoeker: you're hard against the line here. Rein it in. AoS |

#5 Besoeker, drop the 'emoting bitches' bit please. It's worse than offensive - it's inaccurate. If you think Samantha Power and Hillary Clinton are emoting, you're greatly underestimating their commitment to the transnational leftist agenda. |

#4 Amongst a few "flickers" and rounds of golf, obama calmly decides to pull the plug on the US kinetic No-Fly effort. Appears the telling CIA morning brief and frantic, follow-up Surface to Air missile updates, have come just in the nick of time. "Flickers" have now become blinding flashes of the obvious. Next time quit listening to the emoting bitches, tell Gates to do his phueching inter-agency homework, and keep Clapper close at hand. |

#3 I have the impression there are two groups rebelling: the eastern jihadis who've caused Qadddafi trouble before, and the educated youth of the cities Lets hope Qadaffy's mercs can kill them all, so Allan can sort them out. |

#2 Seems like time for a few friendly fire incidents. |

#1 A zero sum game no matter how you rack it up. Cept Gaddafi was co-op in keeping these scumbags from killing our Soldiers in Iraq. Well, whatever. |
