The GOP has settled on their Libya talking point

[Still a Democrat]

At first it was "Obama didn't consult congress, it's unconstitutional". That didn't resonate and the red meat righties couldn't relate to the notion of a President being bound from war by anything silly like collaboration.

So now it's mission confusion, incompetent leadership, and "we don't know who we're supporting and these guys might be Al-Qaeda, Muslim brotherhood, bad Arab kind of people", implication being Obama supports terrorists and, if you're really good at hearing the dog whistle, a secret Muslim.

You know when the Democrats and liberals questioned President Bush attacking Iraq they were branded traitors. Now the GOP has been 10X worse in undermining the nation's international policy. That is to be expected though because both the Tea Party and the GOP is all about putting self interest (or the interest of the wealthy elite) ahead of the best interests of the nation.

Reminds me of Palin being in India, I believe, and saying how confused and misguided the Libya mission was. Then she was asked for details, and she said she couldn't criticize the President while she was overseas.

I can brand them traitors, they'll be familiar with the words and can sputter to their hearts content.
