Same as the old boss. This week President Obama authorized an act of war against another country. What's worse, it was while he was out of the country, and he did not involve the congress whatsoever. Now I don't normally have much to say in support of Congressional Republicans, but in their complaints on the news circuits this weekend, they have every right to be unhappy with the President's actions.
Not only is it irresponsible to have started bombing Libya, it's wrong. The powers to be in this country have been pounding into us the idea that we can't afford the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Now, all of a sudden we can afford to engage in an act of war against Libya? Make no mistake about it, this is an act of war. I don't care how many European nations support the action, I don't care if one or all of the Arab League support the action, when one country bombs another, that is an act of war.
Don't get me wrong here, I don't like authoritarian dictators like Muammar Qaddafi, but unless we're interested in putting into place a single world government in which Libya and the United States are both a part of, our President and politicians have no right to dictate any of their wishes to another country.
This seems to me the last straw in a number of lies, deceptions, and disappointments from the Obama administration. I will be writing more on this subject and others in the future, and I do not know what direction things will go, but I hope for the best. I can say one thing for sure, come November 2012, my support will not be behind Obama. Hopefully I won't be alone in waking up.
