Or a Seagull. I wing in for this comment from another site, or rather the perspective found there. The "I can't believe..." is that there is a another war, but... and it is a big butt, I refer to one line, "third active American-led war"
It is kind of hard to say that it is Obama's war or that he "led" us into it. It had a UN resolution and is now under NATO leadership. And finally, I think that Alan Grayson's "No Fly" post has more merit than he realizes. Mission creep is just a label for fear of not staying on the fair and balanced or nuanced and broad based strategy for a goal that needs* to be accomblished more that the how needs to be validated, excused or proved (let alone understood) preemptively. The goal and the means are not the same, but they can have their own reactions or unintended consequences. Now that I have flown off my perch I will maybe work on my own nest before returning to the rest of the post by Jordan Michael Smith.
* (maybe "needed") separating saving lives from regime change as part of the resolution of this situation
