Riiiiight. Thats what they said about Libya. Thats what they said about Yemen. ... Thats what they said about Vietnam. Thats what they said about nearly all the wars before they were 'wars'.

Sure, sure... Right. There's a lot of corporations with $$ in their eyes on another war started by France, quagmired by us, and profited from by very very few in this country. So I guarandamntee we'll be in there in some expensive way or another.

At least GW's not around to tell us this Mali version AQ hates us for our freedoms.

More Obama lies. I love how Panetta says the US is safer since all the drone attacks on AQ leaders. Right!! There is plenty of evidence that AQ cells are in the US and have been for years. I flew from MSP to LGA the other day for work and the cockpit door was open most of the flight. How soon we forget.

No boots on the ground. What about US airpower? He didn't say the Air Force/Corp wouldn't be involved.

No boots on the ground but you can bet your tax dollar that we are helping with surveillance, air strikes and drones.
