This action is nothing like the unprovoked illegal action in Iraq of March 2003.

Did he strike us first? Or did he just strike first? Or are we talking about 1985 here?

I don't know that this had to be done now. On the other hand, most people here are old enough to remember when Gaddafi was enemy #1 back in the '80s, the Saddam and Bin Laden combined of his day. In other words, maybe this should have been done a long time ago.

Now...what will he do about Yemen?

By the way, so much for Obama doing nothing while on vacation in Rio, eh firstdown?
