Kinetic Military Action: Just Like A Real War

Coutesy of The Political Commentator and Tom White at "Virginia Right"...

If it looks like a war, if the American military is being put in harm’s way like in a war, if it sounds like a war and if people die like it’s a war then call it whatever you want (kinetic military action for one) but we are at war in Libya!!!

This music video courtesy of Tom White at "Virginia Right" was written by, sung by and compiled by him as a way of exposing this "kinetic military action" taking place in Libya for what it is, war.

It also exposes President Obama for what he is, or more precisely for what he isn't which is a leader and a commander-in-chief.

More about the story behind the song and its lyrics:

Meet “Just Like a Real War” inspired by the Bob Dylan Classic

This is a commentary on Obama’s war with Libya. As before, I recorded and performed the music myself using a variety of keyboards, mics and alcoholic beverages. (Actually, I am kidding about the booze. I learned a long time ago it sounds even worse if I drink.)

And OK, there are better Bob Dylan impersonators in the world. I did mess up my hair, though. Just to feel like the real deal.

I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed making it.

Here are the lyrics…..

Just Like a Real War

Obama said he’d end all the wars

In Afghanistan and Iraq we’d fight no more

His chickens have gone to roost

Where his Tomahawks were loosed

And Libyans are dying in the streets

And Americans they don’t know why.

Chorus

And it looks just like a Real War

And it sounds just like a Real War

And it kills just like a Real War

But they call it a kinetic affair.

Obama said Gaddafi has to go

And now he says he really doesn’t know.

With the NCAA

And Vacation on the way

I guess we’ll do whatever folks down at the UN say

And Americans they start to die

Chorus

And it looks just like a Real War

And it sounds just like a Real War

And it kills just like a Real War

But they call it a kinetic affair.

If war was wrong when you campaigned, pray tell us what has changed

And why we must kill some more?

America is broke the world thinks we’re a joke

And you’re off on a vacation again

We can’t do this. We can’t do this any more

First it was a no fly zone

Now we’re dropping bombs on different people’s homes

As Arab tempers boil

We watch the price of oil

Go through the roof – there’s nothing we can do

‘Cuz you stopped all the drillin’ here too.

Chorus

And it looks just like a Real War

And it sounds just like a Real War

And it kills just like a Real War

But they call it a kinetic affair.
