Is it just me or are we doing this wrong?

Put some intelligence on the ground, find out where he is staying.....bunker buster or MOAB and lets call it a day.

That generally happens to me just after breakfast. Except there's less talking and more blowing.

Especially after a few cups of coffee.

This is my rifle. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My rifle is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. My rifle, without me, is useless. Without my rifle, I am useless. I must fire my rifle true. I must shoot straighter than my enemy who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will...

My rifle and myself know that what counts in this war is not the rounds we fire, the noise of our burst, nor the smoke we make. We know that it is the hits that count. We will hit...

My rifle is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strength, its parts, its accessories, its sights and its barrel. I will ever guard it against the ravages of weather and damage as I will ever guard my legs, my arms, my eyes and my heart against damage. I will keep my rifle clean and ready. We will become part of each other. We will...

Before God, I swear this creed. My rifle and myself are the defenders of my country. We are the masters of our enemy. We are the saviors of my life. So be it, until victory is America's and there is no enemy, but peace!

It is a sad day when the French are more decisive than the United States in a military action...

No boots on the ground is fine as long as there is hellfire raining from the skies. But according to some reports I have read and seen, the Pro-Dofus forces were literally hours if not minutes from overrunning the rebel held positions - then Death from the Skies arrived. Why the HELL did the stupid phuktard in Chief wait so long? Calling in airstrikes in support of a fledgling resistance movement seems like a no-brainer, esp when the bad guys are in slow-ass old Soviet reject tanks - talk about a target rich environment. And the alleged ground to air defense systems are antiquated - our modern day avoidance technology will make this a walk in the park.

Obama could have made a real stand for democracy by helping the rebels even the odds - they have the numbers on the ground but not the air strike capability that the goon squad had. But by waiting as long as he did, Obama let a lot of people die needlessly. They did not ask for boots - they asked for help from above. Thank God they finally got it, after the FRENCH agreed to step up...

NOT that I'm defending The ONE at all, just stating a fact; he was waiting for the UN Security Council to vote on the No-Fly Zone. The French and Brits were already a go as I understand the situation but they were waiting on The ONE and The ONE was waiting on the UN. He showed his lack of leadership skillz by stating at a press conference that the US was NOT going to take the lead on this issue in deference to the UN Security Council.

My gut instinct tells me that there will be boots on the ground eventually and I'm not sure that I'm all for that until these 'rebels' have been vetted; you may or may not recall hearing that al-Qaida supports them too (in addition to the Arab League). This is a very muddy geo-political event with wide-ranging consequences.

No need to spend any more money on this. The Americans have enough for all of us. We'll just mooch off of them:

Just pull it out of the water by January or it will be sitting in three feet of mud.

I'm over near Victoria and Little River. But if you stock the kitchen with plenty of beer, I can force myself to make the trip. Block the entrance to Illinois Creek and make it a weekend hotel.

Just haul it over to Lanier and put it in. You will fit right in with all the idiots with the $500,000 house boats that sit in a land locked lake.
