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:

We fought on the wrong side in Bosnia, we killed Christians to protect mooselimbs in a war that had been going on for centuries.
But it has paid off, you can see how grateful the mooselimb world has been to the USA.
They repaid our saving them by bombing the Cole, the Keynan embassy, 9-11, and the beat goes on.

And some FReepers are just SO sure putting a hit on Gaddafi and wiping out Libya’s military are absolutely critical to our national security.... that it’s the “right thing to do.”
OK... how are we doing on the “no fly zone” over Iran? Just checking?
Humanitarian crisis....check
Destabilization of the region....check
Calls by the Iraqi people for help....check

All liberal reasons from top to bottom. Liberalism masquerading as right-wing.
