Welcome to the Brave New World of the Obama Doctrine
By KT McFarland – March 22, 2011
http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2011/03/22/airstrikes-libya-welcome-brave-new-world-obama-doctrine/
Excerpt:
For a man who ran as the anti-war candidate, President Obama sure is trigger-happy. … It’s time somebody took the Weinberger Doctrine off the shelf and dusted if off. Limiting the wars we fight rather than fighting limited wars is starting to look good again.

The War In Libya Is a Fiction Wrapped Inside a Fig Leaf
By Michael Goodwin – March 23, 2011
http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2011/03/23/michael-goodwin-war-libya-fiction-wrapped-inside-fig-leaf/
Excerpt:
The lack of clarity, the Obama White House insists, is a virtue, including having a commander in chief who’s out of the country while it’s bombs away. It’s the first war run by a multitasking telecommander.
Of course, that’s how Mayor “Bermuda” Bloomberg supervised New York’s response to the Christmas blizzard. That went so well, there’s no reason why Obama shouldn’t continue his working vacation while he launches a third war in the Mideast.
Besides, if it doesn’t succeed — no “victory” allowed — it will be Hillary’s fault. She and other war-mongering fems talked him into it, you know.
MEANWHILE:
I’m not holding my breath that Obama will listen to anyone but his own Leftist groupies about Libya or any other dang thing.

I have an old friend who is an Øbama groupie, whose youngest son was recently deployed to a particularly nasty part of Afghanistan. I wish I had some way of knowing what she thinks of the incompetent-bozo-in-chief now, but of course I can’t ask her, since it would be insensitive to do so when her son is in so much danger. As a mother of course I feel for her, as I do for anyone who has a loved one serving in a war zone, but it still infuriates me that she supported Commander Bozo. She ought to have known better.

I really wasn’t cold–not with my bathrobe, hooded jacket, and mittens, plus the exercise–and I wouldn’t have liked that, but it was surprisingly enjoyable to keep hacking away at that stuff. I don’t know WHY everybody went and stood so far off to the side. 😎 If I hadn’t been having fun, I would’ve quit a lot sooner! But I had NO idea that we were living in Ice Age: Before the Meltdown. 14 years in Hawaii, followed by 45 in California, was really very little preparation for a Montana winter.

I once stranded my giant school bus on a sloped parking lot that was doubling as a skating rink that day. The other idiot who got stuck there kept trying to drive out and just kept sliding further and further down the hill and away from the dry road, no doubt doing massive damage to the clutch and tires.
I had an ax in the bus, but I also kept 2-50 pound bags of kitty litter and two (or more) gallons of windshield wiper fluid in my car all winter. These are best if stored where the extra weight is over the drive wheels.
When I realized the bus wasn’t going anywhere, I hitched a ride back to the station and took my car back up to it. I chopped at the ice with the ax to loosen it from right ahead of the drive wheels along the path I needed to drive to get to the dry road, swept the ice away and poured the wiper fluid, which contains antifreeze, then kitty litter along the trail. The resulting gritty slush provided enough traction to drive a heavy, 60-passenger school bus up a very steep, icy slope, so I bet it would work just about anywhere!

This ice is over the grass and flower beds. Will it harm the growing things I hope to see when alleged “spring” allegedly “arrives.” Personally, I’m getting a bit skeptical.

“Kinetic Military Action” For goodness sakes – that is the most banal phrase for a serious situation that I have ever had the misfortune to see.
Here in Richmond we have basketball fever. I live directly across the street from the suburban University of Richmond campus – I can stand on my front porch and throw rock and hit the president of the university’s house. In the 26 years that I have lived here I have never once been tempted to do so, because the University is a great neighbor. We get the advantage of the gorgeous campus for walking and sledding and fishing in the lake, but we never have to cut the grass! At one time or another everyone in my family has taken at least a course or two at Virginia Commonwealth University which is in downtown Richmond. This weekend both schools are in the Sweet Sixteen, and my son tells me it is the first time ever that one city besides Los Angeles has ever had 2 colleges in the Sweet Sixteen. There has been lots of hooplah across the street this week, I can tell you that! Wish them luck!
