Obama Orders Predator Strikes in Pakistan

This was a good move.

Barack Obama gave the go-ahead for his first military action yesterday, missile strikes against suspected militants in Pakistan which killed at least 18 people.

  1. And so the Obama body count begins…

    If I had more time on my hands I’d go all Mathias on his ass.

  2. And so where are is the anti-war crowd?  I haven’t heard anything from them, why?  Why no condemnation or demonstrations? Hypocrits.
    And since when were we at war with Pakistan?  I would think the left would have a problem with that as they did with bush.

  3. Different rules and standards for The Chosen One.  Evil Bush “did it for oil”.  Not The Chosen One.  He does it because it’s right.

  4. Different rules for different folks - seems to be a running liberal theme…

  6. He’ll need more of these orders, especially after the terrorists he just released from Gitmo begin to attack us.

    Are you actually dishonest or deluded enough to truly believe that only one side practices this behavior?

  8. Obama pledged during the primaries to raid Pakistan if we had actionable intelligence. His supporters (and the anti-war crowd) knew what to expect what he was elected, hence the lack of outrage. Also, a large segment of the anti-war protestors are against the Iraq war because it had nothing to do with the 911 attacks but support the war in Afghanistan (which is spreading into Pakistan) as necessary to our security.

  9. It would be great and wonderful if he came out of their with Osama Bin Ladens head on a stick.
    How much ass kissing would the rightwingers do if that were to happen? Probably give Bush credit.

  10. But he won’t.  I forsee more lobbing cruise missiles at baby milk factories.

    If he does, yup…I’ll kiss his ass. 

    I’m not holding my breath.

  11. Seems you have everything covered Steve. One thing is for sure is that George Bush did NOT deliver Bin Laden. At least Obama and the current empowered military leaders are looking in the right neighborhood.

  12. Earlier today I saw an editorial reference to “Obamateur Hour”.

    Speaking of rank “amateurs”:

    EDITORIAL: Did blabbermouth Feinstein spill secrets?

    This incident reinforces the growing impression that when it comes to national security policy the Democrats are not ready for prime time.
