Kinetic military action is hell

Smitty was one of many who commented on what he calls the administration’s “verbal wardrobe malfunction.”

The Orwellian euphemisms used by the current crowd would be amusing if the underlying idiocy were not so dangerous for the country. It’s enough to make me want to engage in a time-limited, scope-limited, kinetic transfer of foot energy to the seat of the trousers of whoever is responsible for this alarming proliferation of nonsense.

H.L. Mencken wrote something about the inauguration speech of Warren G. Harding that could be applied to 99% of everything uttered by Obama and his minions: “It drags itself out of the dark abysm of pish, and crawls insanely up the topmost pinnacle of posh.”

How is this different from any of the Lefty Humpty Dumpty treatement of words?

It's only what I expect from them.

Jorg, in this case he has used it to avoid serious constitutional responsibilities: to inform the US public that he may be dragging them into a war.

chuck jones' papa described Harding's speeches as 'a hippopotamus strggling in a slough of treacle.'

If Obama is JFK (bear with me) then is Libya Obama's Vietnam?

I think it's the water.

I mean, look at the history. Pearl Harbor, Bay of Pigs, Gulf of Tonkin, Chappaquiddick, Gulf of Mexico, Gulf of Sidra... let Democrats near a large body of water and somebody's gonna get killed...
