Well, at least one comes to mind . . . O . B . A . M . A.

Really hate to say anything that may be thought of as positive for the raghat but, It just proves that our government is so big the right hand does not know or care what the left is doing.

Heard on the news we launched 110 tomahawk missiles. They are about $600,000 each. All that money (which represents somebody's work), poof...... gone up in smoke, forever lost. And at a time when we can't even pay our bills. And for what?
Geniuses!

Look at it as Job creation! Somebody gets paid to replace them.
 
BTW: Most of those folks over there are Muslims. Judging by a number of posts here,killing them should make some people here very happy.

Look at it as job destruction. Those missiles represented someones productive work that benefited society. It was taken from them in taxes and destroyed in a puff of smoke and debris, wasted. Now someones else's wealth will be confiscated to build more missiles. Their destruction represents wealth destruction and lost capital that could have been used for production which is the only way to create productive jobs.

I suppose the best thing about this whole situation is,that Obama did not go thru Congress. Not that it matters, as Bush DID, and still started two wars that seem perpetual. Realize we have been in the Iraqi war for 20 years now. WOW! Say it's not a war if you want, but folks are still gettin killed, and everyone is still shootin at each other, just not as much as before. And for what? So all our little Islamic buddies can be safe. Just like our border with Mexico.
Bush got two wars, and now Obama has one. He's gonna have to hustle to keep up with GW. Who should we attack next? Any ideas. ::)

This is absolutely stupifying. Just when you think our leaders couldnt possibly behave in a more ignorant fashion they go and prove you wrong. Gadhafi you must go...but first here is a stack of money courtesy of the suckers in the good ole USA. What is this some sort of consolation prize like they give when you lose on Jeopardy?

A golden handshake? Why not, he done a great job over there for 40 years ::)
