   What is your point here Jim? Are you implying that Raytheon started the war? I would guess that you’re not making that point, but your real point is more elusive. It seems that anyone that profits from war is automatically in the wrong. Very interesting, you are very interesting. Is profit a bad thing or should Raytheon because it makes weapons do it as a charity type operation?

   Obama’s Libyan Strategery
   For those who study history
   And military strategy,
   A new approach to waging war
   In ways that were untried before,
   Is rarely seen or heard:
   The old ways are preferred.

   But in these times of global strife,
   With sounds of drum and notes of fife,
   A new man joins the hall of fame
   Of leaders who receive acclaim,
   For strategy in war,
   Too brilliant to ignore.

   With Hannibal, Napoleon,
   And Kahn, the great Mongolian,
   With Brennus and with Pericles
   With Sun Tzu and Eurybiades,
   Our President does share
   A real strategic flair.

   He joins in war, almost too late,
   Makes public his withdrawal date,
   Commences action from the air,
   Then makes his enemies aware
   He’ll not attack on land,
   Across the desert sand.

   Within just days, perhaps a week,
   His reputation and mystique
   For managing the world’s affairs
   Achieves its peak when he declares
   He’ll bomb the rebels too,
   For things that they might do.

   Perhaps another Nobel Prize
   Our friends from Stockholm could reprise,
   For excellence in strategy
   While waging war on Tripoli.
   It’s merited, at worst,
   As much as was the first.
