| Description | I said this yesterday, but I'd accidentally left the comments off, and I want to see what you people think about this. I am absolutely ready to punch the wall over the fact that Obama hasn't spoken to the American people about the Libya exercise.
You're a president. You launch a war. Granted it's not much of a war. But you are sending Americans into a position where they might die. And you don't go on television and explain to the American people why you've made this decision?
One more time: you don't go on television and explain to the American people why you've made this decision?
I find this incomprehensible. Reagan sent troops into Grenada on October 25, 1983. Two nights later, he was on television explaining why. Bush Sr. ordered strikes on Panama that began on December 19, 1990. The next night, he was on TV explaining why. |
