After waffling for weeks Obama has finally decided to go to war with Libya....
Well, ok...not go to war. He will pat other countries on the back and provide some transport aircraft maybe to help the cause.
What's the cause?
Now, here’s why this matters to us. Left unchecked, we have every reason to believe that Qadhafi would commit atrocities against his people. Many thousands could die. A humanitarian crisis would ensue.The entire region could be destabilized, endangering many of our allies and partners.
The calls of the Libyan people for help would go unanswered. The democratic values that we stand for would be overrun.
Moreover, the words of the international community would be rendered hollow.
Uh huh....lets go back a few years and recall the reasons given by Bush to go to war with Iraq.
Atrocities against his people....check
Humanitarian crisis....check
Destabilization of the region....check
Calls by the Iraqi people for help....check
Democracy....check
Since Gaddafi gave up his WMD's after Bush DID go to war with Iraq there is no WMD worries but I swear I'm getting a case of deja vu.
The big difference here is that Bush knew what it would take to actually be victorious. Obama does not.
We will provide the unique capabilities that we can bring to bear to stop the violence against civilians, including enabling our European allies and Arab partners to effectively enforce a no-fly zone. I have no doubt that the men and women of our military are capable of carrying out this mission. Once more, they have the thanks of a grateful nation and the admiration of the world…It is not an action that we will pursue alone. Indeed, our British and French allies and members of the Arab League have already committed to take a leadership role in the enforcement of this resolution, just as they were instrumental in pursuing it.
This man is a walking, talking, joke. "Enabling our allies"
He's a joke and he's making us all a big joke.
Here's a more thorough analysis then I could ever give by Allah:

"Connecting the dots of Obama’s actions "
All the libs are backing Obammy...killing is good when it’s done by Socialists.
As with most issues... Reagan showed the way:

WHat Congressional resolution was that??
I’m confused.
The liberals are defending the Obama failure to lead by saying it was better than Bush’s “rush to war” in Iraq.
If I recall correctly there were months of debate before going to war in Iraq. How many months of debate were there before the no fly zone resolution?
There’s nothing shameful about being part of a UN peacekeeping force - if the UN were doing true peacekeeping and not imposing a settlement.
Muslims killing Muslims. Think I’ll take a nap.

Left unchecked, we have every reason to believe that Qadhafi would commit atrocities against his people. Many thousands could die. A humanitarian crisis would ensue.
NOT MY PROBLEM ANY MORE THAN BOSNIA.
The entire region could be destabilized, endangering many of our allies and partners.
YAWN. HEARD IT ALL BEFORE AND FRANKLY, WE HAVE NO IDEA WHO OR WHAT WE ARE GETTING AS REPLACEMENTS. IT AIN’T GONNA WORK OUT WELL FOR US OR THEM.
The calls of the Libyan people for help would go unanswered. The democratic values that we stand for would be overrun.
OUR VALUES AND DICTATES OF OUR SOCIETY ARE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT AND BASED ON DIFFERENT HISTORICAL VIEWPOINTS.
Moreover, the words of the international community would be rendered hollow.
THEY ALREADY ARE.
I didn’t mean to imply there’s anything shameful. Not sure if I DID imply that.
I’m just saying.
Very nicely put, thank you.
His speech was utter bull shit and rhetoric without, as usual,
any substance. Obama once said that something, can’t recall what it was, was above his pay grade. The entire job of President is above his pay grade, he’s in over his head and
I believe he is beginning to recognize it.

It was hilarious watching David Gregory try to cover for this “man”. He said since Clinton was for regime change but didn’t do it, but Bush carried through, it was okay for obama to be FOR regime change but not willing to do what has to be done to change it. And these creeps say stuff like this with a straight face.
Ghadaffi sent his reply. “Not that I know obama is all hot air and an empty suit and won’t actually do anything other than flap his lips and whistle every word than ends in “S”, I promise I will shoot down passenger jets if any other governments mess with me.”
You said that twice. LOL
De nada...
