As of this writing, Libyan dictator Mommar Qadaffi has flown the coup. The rebels have taken Tripoli and this stage of the Libyan Civil War is over, thanks to the United States, mostly.
In the coming days, Chairman Obama's sycophants in the arrogant and lazy press are going to paint this as some sort of "great victory for Democracy". Chris "I'll Have Another Drink" Matthews (H/T Mark Levin) will get thrills up both his legs, rather than one. Rachel Maddcow will tell us tales about how our Dear Leader stood up to those pests Congress who kept insisting that the United States should concentrate on the two wars it's already involved in. I'm sure Keith Olbermann will be doing his happy dance for all eight of Current TV's viewers. Happy days have returned to the People's Republic of Progressivakia! Seig heil, Fuhrer Obama! All hail Progressivakian Imperialism! Hope and Che for all! 2+2=5!
Now, let me be among the first to ask this very, very important question: Exactly what did we win ?
Sure, the victims of Pan Am 103 get some justice. I'm all for that. Mommar Qadaffiduck was a state sponsor of terror and a vile piece of excrement that the world doesn't need in power. There's no question that the world is .0000000000001% safer with Qadaffiduck not in power. But the answer to the question above is:
Nothing. We have won nothing.
Despite this "victory", unemployment will still be at 9.2% for the foreseeable future. The housing market will still be dead. Gas prices will still be absurd. The stock market will still be as schizophrenic as Ron Paul's cyberstormtroopers. American troops will still risking their lives in Iraq and Trashcanistan. Uncle Sam will still be drowning in red ink, and oh yes, the American people will still be oppressed by the Big Mommy Regime in Washington DC.
In other words, nothing will change, other than fact that America will be footing the bill for all kinds of goodies for the Libyan people. The American tax payer will be paying for roads, bridges, schools, and kinds of "shovel-ready projects" in Libya that they will never use or benefit from, much like in Iraq and Trashcanistan. (While I support the wars in both places, I do not support the way they are being fought. Either fight to win or don't bother fighting. This winning "hearts and minds" crap is one of the big reasons The War on Terror is entering its 10th year. I don't blame this on the brave men and women who are serving in those hell holes, I blame the squeamish politicians who are directing the war. Yeah, I know, I'm a heartless "neocon imperialist". Blah, blah, blah. Yadda, yadda, yadda.) The American taxpayer will have his taxes raised so his wealth can be redistributed to the "worthy" Libyans.
We won. Yippee.
Thank you for my new wallpaper.
Awesome, awesome pic!
Getting rid of Kadaffy should have been the easy part. Obummer screwed that up. Now Libya is rudderless. Let's just see what type of totally dangerous Gov't emerges from that sewer. Something tells me it won't be too fun. Not only may we have not won, but the Western World may have lost big time. Things will change for the worse.
I think it’s going to be a three way dance of death and destruction and the American taxpayer will be footing the bill.
Regarding Libya, we haven’t yet met the new boss, but he’ll be the same as the old boss (except who probably won’t have those super-cool, almost Tarantinoesque, hot trained killer posse babes.)
It will be as ugly as an open sore.
Someone wake me up when it’s 2012.....
I’m sure he’ll come from the same sewer as Qadaffi Duck...
This will be the chance Hussein has been seeking to promote the califate. He can link Libya with Egypt, overpower Israel, and take Syria. Watch Saudi - the will take a dim view of the whole enchilada.
Hey, here’s a brand new government of questionable integrity and ephemeral composition to which we can send billions in aid as the US goes down the proverbial tubes. What’s not to like?
And soon the ‘Stans’, Jordan, Saudi Arabia et all.
Side note: Thank you Democrats and fellow travelers. You will go down in history. But it won’t be the history you envisioned. All the death and suffering is/will be on your heads.
LOL!
What do you mean “we”, white man.
Oh, that’s right. Many apologies.
It's like Libya dropped off the map for the past two months and now this?
Obama at 39% Approval, not for long if the Media has anything to do with it.
One of my points in the article.
There will be wall to wall propaganda for at least two weeks.
2+2=5 and War is Peace.
It just dawned on me.....is it me or just a cowinkydink that these “historic moments” (Osama bin Laden) always seem to happen when Chairman Obama is sinking in the polls ?
We beat up a weak country, in an illegal undeclared war, with help from enemies we’re fighting in another country. It’s OK when Obama does it. It “feels” good.
They don’t give a damn who wins, the Left just revels in death and destruction. Revolution for revolution’s sake.
Hey, it worked for Clinton!
BTW - Don't look over your shoulder.

Hey, I said not to look!
LOL
Send in Code Pink, Moveon.org, and the MSM skeptics. They’re all lined up and rarin’ to go. Right? Are those crickets I hear?
