      Your credentials are Fox News and Lindsey Graham? And with no misgivings? Good to know for future passovers.

      As promised in previous post:

      Below are comments worth considering. They are not from our usual's in these pages -- they are from a Republican expert in these matters -- a politician worthy to be heard.

      SEN. LINDSEY GRAHAM, R-S.C.:

      Well, I'm glad we are finally doing something. We -- I don't know how many people have died as we wait to do something. Thank God for strong women in the Obama administration.

      I don't know what finally got the president to act, but I'm very worried that we're taking the backseat rather than a leadership role. The British and the French have been great. Prime Minister Cameron said this action is necessary, legal and right. President Obama is talking about limited action of days.

      [NOTE WELL THE FOLLOWING]

      Qaddafi is not the legitimate leader of Libya. He is an international criminal. He should be investigated by Attorney General Holder for actions in Pan Am.

      We should isolate this regime. We should order all troops back to their garrison. We should knock out his radio and TV ability to communicate with his own people. We shouldn't pay Qaddafi's forces any money when it comes to Libyan oil.

      Isolate, strangle and replace this man -- that should be our goal.

      For you on this page who are for Qaddafi read more:

      Thank God for the women who understand democracy and the role of America in history -- especially after Lincoln.

      The critics on this page are each very different from each other. But both belong on the Internet and far from the corridors of power. I listened to the Sunday shows to a Republican Hawk who spoke common sense. He is well known and I hope to return to this page with some his common sense in favor of more not less by way of support for freedom.

      Obama, King of the US Plutocracy, once again emulating 'W' and Republican jingoism, has exploited yet another whimsical rationale to keep the MI oligarchs in Post Toasties. First Libya, Bahrain deliciously awaiting in the wings, then there's Yemen. Enough to drive the high-schoolers in charge into perpetual wet-dreams. Kill cause we can, cause we love it, and cause it's profitable for those pulling the strings. What's a little more debt to grab a chance for a third war. Just like the other two we haven't a clue what the end-game is or will be. Obama has become a total betrayal of what one would (unfairly - obviously) expect. Need a third party - there's no legitimate choice.

      Said nothing, but didn't have to, because the Janet Reno clone in the UN, already knew what they were going to do next. I have little doubt someone, somewhere is planning a suitable revenge, tho we may not have to wait that long.
