According to a Reuters/Ipsos poll, which was taken after President Barack Hussein Obama (mm mmm mmmm) and his Coalition of the Unwilling began bombing Libya, a mere 17 percent of Americans view our man Scooter as a strong and decisive military leader.   Almost half of those that responded think that Obama is a cautious and consultative commander-in-chief and more than a third label him as indecisive in military matters.

Gee, DiNozzo, ya think?

On the heels of his months-long dithering over Afghanistation, where he eventually decided to send 30,000 more troops, Obama is entering a Spring of Discontent, coming from not just the GOP, but from his formerly sycophantic fellow Democrats.

Even the Dems can see that there are no clear-cut mission goals, nor has Obama and his Administration presented any sort of exit strategy, except to vagualy state that we’ll only be over there for “a few days” (we’re on Day 6 and counting).

While 60 percent of those polled supported the bombing in protection of Libyan citizens, 70 percent wanted to go further, and remove Kadhafi, Quadaffi, Gaddafi, oh, what the heck, the Libyan Madman.

The survey was conducted on March 22 from a nationally representative sample of 975 adults.

Only 7 percent supported deploying ground troops.

In the polling sample, 48 percent thought that Obama’s leadership as commander in chief was “cautious and consultative,” 36 percent thought it was “indecisive and dithering,” and 17 percent (evidently on medication) described Obama’s leadership as “strong and decisive”

House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner is not terribly impressed by Scooter’s leadership skills. He said today that he was

troubled that U.S. military resources were committed to war without clearly defining … what the mission in Libya is and what America’s role is in achieving that mission.

Good news, Speaker Boehner. We’re not at WAR. We’re in the middle of a Kinetic Military Action.

Some idiotic, desperately spinning Obama Administration lackeys informed congressional aides behind closed doors earlier this week that America is not at war Libya.

And Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes avoided the question like a sinner avoiding church during a Wednesday conversation with reporters aboard Air Force One.

I think what we are doing is enforcing a resolution that has a very clear set of goals, which is protecting the Libyan people, averting a humanitarian crisis, and setting up a no-fly zone. Obviously that involves kinetic military action, particularly on the front end. But again, the nature of our commitment is that we are not getting into an open-ended war, a land invasion in Libya.

So, we’re not bombing Libya, we’re performing an Emergency Excavation Service?

What in the world does the term Kinetic Military Action mean?

From merriam-webster.com:

Definition of KINETIC

1: of or relating to the motion of material bodies and the forces and energy associated therewith

2a : active, lively b : dynamic, energizing

Definition of MILITARY

1a : of or relating to soldiers, arms, or war b : of or relating to armed forces; especially : of or relating to ground or sometimes ground and air forces as opposed to naval forces

2a : performed or made by armed forces b : supported by armed force

3: of or relating to the army

Definition of ACTION

a (1): an engagement between troops or ships (2): combat in war <gallantry in action>

So, we have a lively Armed Forces in an engagement between troops or ships?

Sounds like a WAR to me.

Oh, hold on, Scooter, I get it now.  This is not a Blog, it’s a bunch of words written on an Internet site, conveying my opinions, being read by the American public.

Hey, this is fun!

I don’t drive a car.  I drive a 4 wheel assemblage of metals and plastics which, on 4 vulcanized round objects, transports me from place to place on an asphalt-topped path.

YEAH, THAT’S THE TICKET!

Have Obama and his Administrative Academic-Pinheaded Cretins lost their ever-loving minds?

Gentle Reader, this is what happens when one has been educated beyong their intelligence. You start believing that you are so much more intelligent than anyone else, you can call a cow Secretariat and the American public will believe you.

The problem with that presumption is, while the American public do not all possess Doctorates from Ivy League Schools, they recognize bull when they hear it.

Obama and his Administration have dug themselves a hole.  Their Coalition of the Unwilling is falling apart and they are finding out that high-level bombing is fine for knocking out runways and such, but not very effective in protecting Libyan citizens from the Madman’s hired thugs in the streets of Libya.  They are also slowly figuring out that Americans, politicians and otherwise, were not exactly mesmerized by the optics of the American Commander-in-Chief declaring WAR on Libya while on vacation in Rio.

So now, they’re trying to soften the political reality that their lack of real world experience and poor administrative skills has created, by coming up with an unintentionally comedic term for the poorly-handled prosecution of a WAR.

May God protect our Armed Forces.
