FOLLOW THE FRENCH INTO WAR? TALK ABOUT BAD IDEAS!

Does anyone remember the last time that the United States got into a war that the French were involved in?  Well, let me remind you.  In 1953 the French were losing their asses in a little Southeast Asian country called Vietnam when someone decided that it would be a good idea to send some Green Beret's over to advise them in Jungle Warfare.  After a year or so in 1954, the French did what the French have always done, they packed up and ran home, leaving the US holding the bag. 22 years and over 53 thousand American lives later, we finally it wasn't a war that could be won and got out of that quagmire. 

A couple of days ago, the French fired missiles into Lybia and got involved in the civil war in that country, but not before getting that idiot now running our country to commit to supporting their actions.  So over the last couple of days, the French have backed off, the English have fired 8 Cruise Missiles, and the United States as of 7 PM eastern tonight had fired 150 missiles at a cost of approximately $675,000 EACH.  According to some in the news media, the Lybian No Fly Zone could cost the US military 9 Billion Dollars per month.  Where will that 9 Billion come from?  The French and English who have business interest in Lybia aren't going to reimburse us!  Those cowards in Saudi Araiba and the other Arab countries wont pony up either, so I guess that once again it will come from the pockest of the American Tax Payer.

Where is our congress?  Where is the Tea Party?  For a year now, I've heard nothing but we have to make cuts, we're spending too much money in Washington, and now all of a sudden the Dumb Ass running the country decides to spend 150 million dollars in missiles in two days, and possibly another 9 Billion dollars per month on war, and you have nothing to say?  Where is Sarah Palin, Newt, Sharon Angle, Michelle Bachman and Rand Paul hen we need them?  For those of you who thought that those people were really going to make a difference, you had best take another look.  What happened to the 100 Billion they were going to cut?  Forgive me, I must have forgotten, even if we don't have money to fund meals for poor kids, we always have enough to make war, after all the Military Industrial Complex creates jobs.

I'm watching the Talking Heads on Fox, CNN, ABC and NBC (don't watch CBS, can't take Katie), and half of them agree with the president that it's a humanaterian bombing, really? If that's the case, where was the US, France, the Britts and the rest of their coalition when over a million people were dying in the Sudan? Oops, I forgot, those folks don't have any OIL!  Bill O'Riley and the Fox crew have finally found something in common with Obama, they like what he's done.  The Liberals in the media won't

criticize Obama, because he's their guy, and the conservatives in media won't criticize because they actually agree with him.  What a@#$%@*& mess! 

Obama came to office saying that he would get us out of war, which was totally unrealistic, but to start a third war, when you're in the middle of two already, what could he be thinking?  Kudos to Dennis Kucinich who is the only member of congress to speak out against this massive waste of our money, and good luck on your efforts to defund this colossal waste of my tax dollars.  By the way Mr. President, when you're on the same side of a war issue as Karl Rove, you might want to rethink your position.

Finally, our Defense Department should be used for our Defense, not to police the rest of the world.  Hell, with all of the people in this country who own guns (including myself), we might not even need a Defense Department.  Can you imange some foreign force trying to invade Alabama, Mississipi or Baton Rouge in the south, or Newark, Detroit or Chicago in the north?  Those six cities have more fire power than many countries!  I am all for defense, but make no mistake, there is a big difference between defense of this great nation, and policing the rest of the world, and we defiantly don't want to be following the French into war.
