Since we are in such big deficit, such big debt, and such severe economic depression then from where exactly did the government come up with 2 billion to throw on Libya? Government does not get enough taxpayer funds to cover all their expenses. So did Obama print cash, did he borrow from china or did he use social security funds for this 2 billion dollar regime change? Throw few billions here, throw few billions there. And in the end all this "here and there" becomes 2 trillion deficit and the recession becomes depression. That's the problem Washington has. Also how was this 2 billion expense authorized? Obama never took congress approval for Libyan involvement. Neither did he announce to any taxpayer about the money he is throwing on Libya. There was no checks and balances at all. So did Obama spend 2 billion taxpayer money at his own "will" and at his own "desire" without anyone else's feedback? People can't put food on table right now. Foreclosure, bankruptcies, medical treatments not being given, etc etc is the true picture of daily America. And then here we have a president who decides to blow 2 billion dollars in such economic depression on Libya, only to get a SHARIA LAW government as successor to Qadaffi? And you call this liberation, democracy in Libya? Sharia law doesn't even allow women to vote. Liberation my sheet!

From our defense budget.

Democracy is allowing the Libyan people to decide for themselves how they will be governed.
As for Sharia Law, nearly all middle east countries are run under moderate Islamic leadership with elements of sharia law. This includes Iraq, who wrote their constitution with Islamic law, with the help of the Bush admin.

We are $14 trillion in debt. We must take THAT into account on everything.

You silly Americans will unfreeze and hand over $35-$60 billion in Gaddafi assets to the rebels without asking for a dime in return.

This is why you borrow from me.

He used Social security funds. Future generations have nothing left. Everything is being snatched away from the rights of future generations. We are all doomed

We are still spending 1 billion/wk in Afghanistan.

Wasn't that GW's too?

I heard experts saying that Sharia Law is now Sharia Law Light.

The women are fighting back. Good.

Giving them their option isn't our choice you know.

Libya is only behind Saudi Arabia in quantity and quality of their oil.

Unless you want to drive a Prius we should buddy up to them.

And God no, Obama is not following Bush's footsteps.

If he did we wouldn't have killed three international terrorists.
