The question is who was backing those "rebels" that Gadhafi was beating back?
And who was funding them?
al qaeda
.
So who's side is Obama on?

The War Powers act means Obama can act legally for a short period of time without Congressional approval. That's just how it is.

Maybe. It's hypocritical at the least. Kucinich is consistently against war, as is Ron Paul. I admire them both for thier agreement on that issue.
Of course that's what it's about.

But unless CNN comes out with an endorsement - the brain dead voters just vote for the Gambino's or the Banano's.

So what was the Preznit doing just as he was sending our troops into harm's way?
He's didn't escape the awkward, if not incongruous, contrasts during his stay in Santiago.
If it's a humanitarian mission, it doesn't matter what the makeup of the crowd is does it?
If Ron Paul supporters and Dennis Kucinich supporters, even though they are opposed on most issues, got together to engage in protests and the gov was set to slaughter them, would it matter that some of them were liberals and not conservatives?

Discussing trade with South America. Who we export billions to.

It'd be nice if he stopped the merely discussing, and did something useful like sign the trade agreement with Colombia which has been on the backburner since before he was Prez (which he has refused to do and has opposed).

It would be great for my state and home town (which is known as the Gateway to the Americas).

So what is the other side of the argument? I'm unfamiliar.
NeckBeard:
What about the Reagan administration and its support of the Taliban?
Consider it reparations for all the harm the US has done to the Arab/Muslim world in general. A major example; for which the Muslim world despises us; the overthrowing of Mossadegh, who was democratically elected and then replacing him with the vicious dictator the Shah of Iran.
Such support would earn the US the respect it hasn't been worthy of in the past.
Besides, being a Gwenn Dreckian, Foxtard, you know that Obama is going to be criticized either way. He was criticized for not acting sooner on Libya and now conservative opiinon setters are condemning him for helping Libya. A most assinine example of this is a certain retarded ultra conservative by the name of Frank Gaffney, who refers to Obama's aid to the Libyan rebels in these terms:
"What I find particularly concerning is the prospect that what we might call the Qaddafi Precedent will be used in the not-to-distant future to justify and threaten the use of U.S. military forces against an American ally: Israel."

Bottom line, conservatives have demonstrated consistently how intellectually and morally bankrupt they are.

So Villabozo beats everybody up for linking to a right wig blog on his chicken little iodine nuclear thread.
And who does he link to?
ANDREW BREITBART.
