Ending the mission is not a mission

I’ve been listening to the president talk about what exactly is the mission for US troops in Libya. So far here’s what I’ve learned about the mission:


The primary mission of US forces in Libya is to end the mission as soon as possible. Well yeah. That’s what comes out of P-BO’s statement. It’s not the old days of understandable mission statements from that boob GWB, “A strong stable Iraq who will be a partner in the war on terror.” That large strategic mission statement is laser clear compared to The Organizer’s, “A the behest of the French and the UN, we’ve begun bombing Libya. The mission will end as soon as possible.”

Barring any route to immediately cut and run, P-BO’s plan is to “transition” the effort in Libya to the Arab League or some other country - France, England, Spain, Lower Volta anyone to get America out of the lead. Seems the Big Organizer’s efforts to re-cast the American image abroad has failed miserably because P-BO doesn’t want American leadership in the Libyan effort lest the people of the world get the wrong impression about our, um “leader.”

The Arab League? Really? YGBSM! Is the President of the United States seriously considering turning American military power over to the Arab league? If he is, he’s a bigger dope than anyone could have imagined. If he isn’t considering that move, he’s…what do they call it…oh yeah lying.

Then to make matters worse P-BO says that we’re wanting Cooodoofy to leave but our military actions are not directed at Quoooodoophy. Huh? We’re protecting the Libyan people from Kaduffy’s military but not supporting the rebels who are presumably Libyan and the direct targets of Kudaffy’s military. WTF, doesn’t even begin to touch this one. 

Aside:  And we'll hear over and over about how smart P-BO is.  They continue to think he's smart.  But no one has ever seen any evidence of it.  Seems the dumber things he does, the more they tell us how smart he is.  It's like he's so smart that he's the ONLY one in the universe that knows that 2+2 is actually 18.  So nobody knows how really smart he is.  Well 2+2 is about 4 here in the real world.  I'll bet this guy knows exactly how many pizzas to order for the midnight basketball program.  Other than that, I see no evidence that he has any idea of what he's doing. Back on point:

One military guy said he could accomplish his mission and Ckudauffy could still be in charge of the country.

In the movie The Wind and Lion – a story loosely based on actual events – President T. Roosevelt demands of the Moroccan “government” that an American being held by Moroccan rebels be returned alive or the leader of the rebels dead. When the Moroccan government vacillates, TR moves on them with the US Navy and Marines and takes over control of the government and secures the release of the hostage.

After the action, TR utters this memorable line:

Gentlemen, nothing in this world is certain - absolutely nothing. The fate of the nation will be decided by the American people in November, and the fate of Morocco will be decided tomorrow by me. And now, if you don't mind, I'd just like to be alone with my bear!

The fate of Libya is going to be decided by the Brits, the French or the, you can’t be serious, Arab League. How much farther do you suppose we can slide as a nation as our puny president continues to shrink?

Here’s the mission: Kill Qudaffy. Target him and his forces night and day. Kill his sons. While you’re at it, kill the Lockerbie bomber. The president will decide the fate of Libya once Qudaffy and his sons are dead.
