Libya - For RC

[irvinehomeowner]

So if anyone remembers, RC got a bit bent on a Laguna Altura thread because we were talking about new homes instead of the political changes going on in Egypt:

In response I said this:

What I will say is I am worried about other countries. While this changeover (if you can even call it that) was relatively peaceful, this could lead to all-out war in other regimes.

See what you did RC?

Now we are involved in the Libya conflict. I know this board doesn't skew political (and rightfully so considering the heated topics in previous incarnations) but I just want to say I find it interesting that we are now involved in 3 military campaigns... I thought it was supposed to be less, not more.

I find some of the Obama criticisms funny... instead of "Hope and Change" we are getting "No Hope for Change" (not my words... something I read in the paper).

Now don't get me wrong... I'm not being critical of our POTUS, I just want to point out that no matter where you fall in the political spectrum, sometimes things are dictated by events and not partisan policies.

We certainly don't have all the information POTUS does when making these life or death decisions. I will support him for now and see how events unfold.

I am certainly very concerned that our military is already stretched too thin and our budget is far from balanced. I had hoped Obama would renew his focus on domestic issues (specifically the economy) and continue to navigate our way out of Afghanistan.

I appreciate you joining my dance in the mine field, iacrenter... really the only criticism I have for our prez is this healthcare plan... fix social security first please.
