#1 Reagan's answer: "We win, they lose."

Obama's answer ought to be interesting.

#2 Qadaffy ancestors were Bedouin. Tent people. To be honest, he is not your typical guy who would get crushed under the roof of a bombed building. This makes him allusive.

Also, Qadaffy has been responsible for many assinations around the world, even a few attempt in the US against dissidents. He has people everywhere. That is a very dangerous thing. In the pasts the assasins worked alone or in pairs.

Our security apparatus had better be on thier toes now.

Hmmm, I wonder if he will try and assinate Obumbles. Things are going to get even more interesting.

#5 At least the French aren't screwing around.

On day one of the international strikes, a French jet struck outside of Benghazi, destroying around 14 tanks, along with dozens of armoured personnel carriers and trucks carrying multi-rocket launchers into Benghazi.

#6 Gorb, didn't you read the last paragraph? The Prez has already answered all those questions!

So, help me out here, White House - what were the answers?

#7 The White House did, however, respond to Boehner's comments Sunday: "The president answered all those questions already. ... The very thing he's saying we need to do," the president has considered.

The election empty suit strategy where people project themselves [desires] on to him. In this case whatever the outcome is after events have settle down to, offering multiple political endgames to play his 'greatness' against.

#8 "This makes him allusive."

The word is spelled elusive.

#9 I'm not against bombing Libya. I'm against the complete lack of a strategy for this. Seems all that the goals of the operation are:

1) Bomb Libya
2) ??????
3) Democracy!

#11 I am going to be contrary... watch the shell (Libya)... everybody watching...

Sorry.. I am just being very cynical today..
