Obama is getting lousy advice on our military misadventures.
Is it Hillary that needs to go? Can we replace her with Biden who seems a little more cautious? Where is Biden on Libya anyway?

1. I Thought He Was a Chess Player?
Edited on Tue Mar-29-11 11:42 PM by Kalun D
Aren't chess players smart enough to research for advice instead of taking the word of some defense industry puppets?

It's all good, they are using DU munitions so no one in Libya is going to be healthy after this.

This isn't about liberation, this is about defense industry profit.

You can tell by the $Billion dollar rain of bombs on the first day. Just like they did in Afghan. Also just like Afghan there's not a $Billion dollars worth of targets in the entire country of Libya.

2. Biden was against this Libyan action.
This according to what I heard on Sunday's Chris Matthews show.

Of course, Biden was also against troop escalation in Afghanistan.

Looks like Biden is emerging as the "dove" in this administration. Unfortunately, he seems to have been marginalized. Nobody is listening to him. :(

3. Gaddafi is a bad bad man, we need to send him to the cornfield!
Gaddafi bad, rebels good.

The Obama doctrine.

4. I'm quite certain he's getting advice from Hillary, Biden, and many others
The problem isn't the advice he's getting, it's the advice he's taking. And I'm not actually even referring to Libya. I'm more referring with the fact that he went with McCrystal over Biden on Afghanistan and that turned out not to work so well.

5. Obama is getting lousy advice on lots of stuff
But for the most part he picked his advisers - and he doesn't seem to be able to distinguish between good and bad advice.

Obama owns his bad decisions.

Sorry for him.
