Another day, another discovery. You might have wondered why President Obama was hesitant to do anything in Libya, be it condemn a blood-thirsty dictator or decide to bomb it.
In February, in the midst of a revolution in Egypt and an uprising in Tunisia, the President actually asked the United States Congress to provide Dictator Maummar Gaddafi with an additional $1.7 million in funds for his military.
Ironically, the President now specifically supports a "no-fly zone" in Libya to prevent Gaddafi's air force from bombing protesters. Last month, he lobbied to give money directly to the dictator to improve his air capabilities.
More ironically, with the foreign aid gotten from the United States and President Obama, Gaddafi has been killing civilians on the ground. The very same civilians that the US and UN militaries are trying to protect.
In response, Republican Congressman Ted Poe of Texas stated, "It's certainly not wise or smart to give American aid to countries like Libya where the ruling class use it against their own people." Apparently the leader of the free world disagrees.

Oh, how I long for the days of the Kerry Flip-Flop.
0bama was for Kaddafy before he was against him.
Yes, we must borrow more money, from countries not exactly friendly to us, apply it to the bill that our children and grandchildren will have to pay back, and send it to a country that has attacked us in the past and with whom we have no assurance of further good relations. Do I have that right?
We see now that Obama uses our own money to destroy us.
Will no one rid us of this odious man? (Apologies to Shakespeare) sd
You’re not supposed to know this.
Besides Obama has nothing to do with this kenetic military action (not to be confused with war), NATO is leading it, haven’t you heard?
Oh if this were just the machinations of the most incompetent and unqualified person to ever be Pres of the U.S>
I just finished watching Beck and it seems this whole thing is about the ideas of Cass Sunsteins WIFE Samantha Powers (Zero Foreign Policy advisor).
Useing a UN MAMMOUTH PROTECTIVE FORCE. Ofcourse this is the baby of the Soros Open Society BS.
But the scarey part is that MZZZZ POWERS suggests that the U.S./U.N. will need to attack ISRAEL based on it’s “violations of human rights”.
Defending yourself from rocket attacks by Islamofascist POS does not classify as Self Defense.
MY QUESTION IS WILL AMERICANS ALLOW OBAMA TO INITIATE A LIBYA STYLE ATTACK AGAINST ISRAEL? WELL WILL WE?
