See, this is what happens when we don’t take the lead in a military operation. The Europeans start arguing about the timing of Espresso breaks, and so forth.
As reported by Dan Miller in PJ Tatler, France and Germany walked out of a NATO conference today and Turkey is miffed it didn’t get invited to something. Stephen Green writes in Tatler that Italy is threatening to bolt altogether.
The American president is busy right now with something else but maybe when he gets done he can assert leadership in this war.

Obama has now lost Michael Moore:

China, Russia, the Arab League, and the Lib-Dem collectivists are against it as well as many prominent cocktail swilling elite Republicans. When Obama withdraws from Libya, his Presidency will have officially run off the road, into a ditch and hit a tree (after all, there was no one driving in the first place).
Nice analogy payback for the Repubs in the ‘ditch’.
Who’d thunk that we’d agree with MrMoore on anything; yes, MrO should give back the NobelPeacePrize.
Can I have a cocktail to swill?
He’s busy doing the samba and kicking a soccer ball. As Andrew Malcolm wrote if it’s Monday he must be doing a toast. This time in Chile. (and doesn’t know the proper way to hold a wine glass)
The music is Shakira’s Spanish version of Hips Don’t Lie.

That’s what happens when the most powerful member of the coalition is only making a half-hearted (maybe quarter-hearted?) effort. I still believe this is all for show and that Pres. Obama was caught off guard when the UN approved the resolution against Libya.
I am not sure am I throwing in with this entire Muslim scenario.
Quarter-hearted.
Franklin Graham’s Warning !
Franklin Graham’s warning of coming persecution of Christians echoes what his mother Ruth and father Billy have clearly stated. Re Ruth, see search engines including Google for “Letter from Mrs. Billy Graham.” To see Billy’s words about the worldwide increase in house churches, Google “Famous Rapture Watchers – Addendum.”
Since Franklin blamed the Obama administration for his own National Day of Prayer snub and persecution, and since he accused “Christian” Barack Hussein Obama of “giving Islam a pass,” readers can get some rare insights into Obama and his fellow travelers by Googling and Yahooing “Obama Fulfilling the Bible,” “Michelle Obama’s Allah-day,” “Obama Supports Public Depravity,” “Prof. F. N. Lee’s ISLAM IN THE BIBLE (PDF),” “Mikey Weinstein, Jesus-Basher,” and “Sandra Bernhard, Larry David, Kathy Griffin, Bill Maher, Joan Rivers, Sarah Silverman.”
For a rare look at the 181-year-old endtime belief which has long neutralized millions of American patriots by promising them an “imminent rapture” off earth – which has diverted them away from being prepared to stand against all enemies, domestic as well as foreign – Google “Pretrib Rapture Dishonesty,” “Famous Rapture Watchers,” “Pretrib Rapture Diehards,” “Edward Irving is Unnerving,” “Pretrib Rapture Secrecy,” and “Pretrib Rapture – Hidden Facts” – all by the author of the bestselling nonfiction book “The Rapture Plot” (the most accurate documentation on the pretrib rapture’s long hidden but recently uncovered birth in Britain in 1830 – see Armageddon Books). Also Google “Stamping Out Harold Camping.”
If we were doing this for oil–I thought that was vaguely justified from an amoral superpower standpt in Iraq, too–we will now be propping up Sunnis anyplace we can find them–to keep the power out of Iran’s hands. I have no doubt the billions of Muslims want to control a sphere of influence–but I don’t think we are going to stop it. As for the president being part of a Trilateraly conspiracy deal or closet Muslim, he may be a sympathizer but I don’t see it all laying out this neatly. Or as you say, I don’t CHOOSE to.
