So what BS name will they call this operation?
They always come up with cute patriotic names for these war operations. "Operation Iraqi Freedom" "Operation Eagles Hammer"

So what will the glorious war operation for Libya be called?

10. I think you're confused. The real base is behind humanitarian action against a butcher.

16. A butcher in a world of butchers. But THIS BUTCHER
gets American cruise missiles and bombs dropped on him. Curious.

19. because the 81% approval from self described liberals for Obama
shows that his base has deserted him entirely? 79% approval from Democrats.

22. I'd argue his base are centrist swing voters. That don't want any more war.
It's because of them that he got elected.
It's because of them that he _______(choose your own adventure)________

35. swing voters as a base?
Honestly?







And, although I hate to point it out, shit like this tends to raise approval ratings from the people who don't usually pay attention to politics. As long as this is over in 60 days or less and Momar is ousted (or killed) then Obama will be approved of by what you consider his base.

37. Obama is a centrist. His base are centrists. I wouldn't say his base are lib. democrats, would you?
Just look at the complaints he gets here at DU and the praise.
Liberals want Dennis Kucinich to run against him for crisakes.

I think a large part of people that voted for Obama in 08 was because he promised to end the wars. The wars, in case you forgot were (and remain) unpopular.
This is just more endless war.
Centrists are also very concerned with the deficit. This is bad news for the deficit.
