Obama lied us into war with Libya [Reader Post]

About a month ago I put up a post

Candidate Obama would demand impeachment of President Obama

In it I argued that Libya was in middle of a civil war and I did not and do not feel we have any business being involved in a civil war especially since was no direct threat to the United States. I noted that not once has Obama honestly described the situation in Libya. Like him or not, Moammar Gaddafi is/was facing an armed insurrection. Obama has referred to the rebels repeatedly as “peaceful protesters” when in fact they are armed revolutionaries.

Obama – How Dare You Suggest We Cut Taxes…”You Think We’re Stupid?”

Every day that Obama is in the White House we get further proof, not that we need it, that all we wants to do is redistribute wealth like a good little Socialist:

“I said, ‘You want to repeal health care? Go at it,'” Obama said. “‘We’ll have that debate. You’re not going to be able to do that by nickel-and-diming me in the budget. You think we’re stupid?'”

Friendly Fire Happens

Perhaps the saddest part of any combat operation is the prospect of friendly fire. It’s something that we in the military train hard to avoid, but always happens to some degree or another.

In 2003, while we were fighting our way north, my troop even came under fire by another troop that mistook us in the early morning for the Iraqis. They hadn’t expected us to cut through their defense as quickly as we did and they thought the Iraqis had turned around to go after them. Luckily, no one was injured in the short confusion, but it highlights that it happens.
