President Barack Obama, addressing the American people directly for the first time since military operations began in Libya, offered no new details about how the U.S. commitment there will end, but pledged that Libya won’t be another Iraq.
“Regime change there took eight years, thousands of American and Iraqi lives and nearly a trillion dollars. That is not something we can afford to repeat in Libya,” Obama said.
Seeking to sway a country divided and confused by the unexpected air and naval mission against Libyan leader Muammar Qadhafi, Obama laid out a sweeping rationale for the action, arguing that it would have been “wrong” and strategically catastrophic to have allowed Qadhafi to massacre rebels and civilians.
“We knew that if we waited one more day, Benghazi, a city nearly the size of Charlotte, could suffer a massacre that would have reverberated across the region and stained the conscience of the world,” Obama said in a speech at the National Defense University in Washington....

He is very dangerous to our well being.
No, there was actually a PURPOSE for Iraq.
Clarity and Obama are no match.
I doubt very many Americans watched the teleprompter reader tonight. Commie lib ‘RATS maybe, but not Americans.

It is much worse than that. All one has to do is digest the content of the Marxist, Muslim and population control timebomb so deceptively called “Obamacare”, which supposes to have something to do with medical care of God only knows who, really. There is so much more, but that should be more than sufficient.
Yeah, why don’t we?
1 Syria
2 Burma (also called my-own-bar, a nickname from the thugs running the place but embraced by the media for god only knows what reason)
3 Darfur
4 North Korea
5 You know, by about this country we’d be getting really good at it and could keep going indefinitely, heroes to the world, and actually the only hope for the future in the long run. And I’m serious as a heart attack about this.
Yeah..killing civilians, and breeding more terrorism simply by our involvement...oh ....wait..wait a minute here.
Yeah and Libya has Congressional approval...oh ...wait..wait a..minute.
So then Obama has now vindicated George W. Bush and is now OK with George W. Bush going into Iraq to stop that humanitarian disaster? I wonder if all the lefties are onboard with this?
‘That is not something we can afford to repeat in Libya’-—
So he spends $600 million in 6 days of his war in Libya.
All words and platitudes. Can’t put trust in a word he says.
It ain’t war when the Leftists do it — it’s breathy heroism.
Summary: It is someone else’s fault and I vote “Present.”
“That is not something we can afford to repeat in Libya,” Obama said.
But not being able to afford something has never stopped Commander Zero.
Obobo is fully invested in regime change now and that means replacing a lunatic with a new inbred pack of howling pro-Shariah, gang-rapin’ Muzzie dogs.
Swell.

No, he ripped Bush on the Iraq war in his speech.
