How sad.
I'm still absorbing this news and don't want to vent immediately, because there is still part of me that simply cannot believe that president Obama has already ordered covert action in Libya on one side in a civil war, and is now actively discussing whether to arm that side in another chaotic Muslim country, committing the United States to yet another war against yet another tyranny simply because we can.Has this guy been paying attention or has he just been in a marijuana-induced haze the past 27 months?
It's so surreal, so discordant with what the president has told the American people, so fantastically contrary to everything he campaigned on, that I will simply wait for more confirmation than this before commenting further. I simply cannot believe it.
Thanks to Instapundit for the link.

Saint Andrew of the Heartaching Gobsmack is once again shown to be a fool? This is becoming old news.
The Rubes are the ones standing around making a scam appear legitimate. They are the gullible. They are the easy to persuade that aren't the target of the scam.
The Mark is the target of the scam.
If you see a scam going on and you ask 'who is the Mark?' then it is you, who are the Mark: the last one to know is always the Mark.
All Marks are Rubes, but not all Rubes are Marks.
Andy Sullivan truly is a Rube. But is he the Mark?
I am so totally laughing at the superior intellects that brought us President Obama. I suppose it's wrong to feel such joy at seeing them repeatedly disappointed in The One. If that's wrong, though - I don't wanna be right!
Just remember that he has promised "no boots on the ground" and "out in days not weeks".
Apparently CIA operatives wear sandals.
Hope&Change!
"has he just been in a marijuana-induced haze"
I vote for Insanity!

In other news, man who bought Brooklyn Bridge and its underground oil wells simply cannot believe he was conned. "The salesman seemed so honest", he explained.
I'm all for dumping on the execrable Andrew Sullivan, if one cannot simply ignore him, which I would always prefer. But I'm not quite sure the "rube" narrative applies here. It applies to those who imagined Obama was a "moderate," or "post-racial" or, well, not a socialist whose singular mission is to disab;le the nation as quickly and thoroughly as possible. Those things were all readily discernable before he was elected, if one was paying the slightest attention (sadly, many millions were not.)
But I have to say I would never have expected him to wage a war of any kind. I've been surprised by his sticking it out in Afdghanistan to the extent he has. I'm surprised he did not aggressively dismantle our gains in Iraq And I am surprised he has done more than flap his jaws over Libya. I don't approve of his actions there at all. But I don't see how the "easily-deceived rube" label applies in this case. Am I missing something here, or were we supposed to know Obama was secretly a war...er, I mean a kinetic military action monger?
Oh, its just Sully. He has been suffering from a dementia caused by an infectious disease for a long time.
Call it The Hot Tub War, because we are slipping into it an inch at a time. Col. Klink is Italy's customer, so where are the Italians in all this?
Some stories just write themselves....
Wait until he finds out 2200 Marines are going to Libya.
His head will explode then.

So, who was it who told Excitable Andrew that Al Qaeda does not support Gay Marriage?

He has been in a Palin-induced haze for the last 27 months. Every atom of his being immutably revolves around Sarah Palin.
Nailed it! Done in one.
