Now, ruling America is a black man from our continent, an African from Arab descent, from Muslim descent, and this is something we never imagined – that from Reagan we would get to Barakeh Obama

This idiot didn't even learn the simplest lesson from Jimmy Carter's fiasco with Iran.

In the next few days, one group or another is going to grab 100s of Western hostages, including lots of Americans who couldn't get out.

It will be a disaster for us, and it will wreck Obama’s presidency.

Is that counting what the Somali pirates did? Or not?

The gutless punk won;t even send in our Navy to evacuate our own citizens (even though China and Turkeyy did just that for their citizens yesterday).

Come on-—give the guy a break—he sent in a couple of ferry boats that have to wait for calm sea’s before they can leave.

But for that to happen, what is needed immediately is for the United States and NATO to use their airpower to stop the fighting. Bombing Gadaffi’s forces would cost less lives in the long run than a civil war fought “to the last drop of blood,” as the Libyan leader has promised. This also would allow the all-important oil exports to resume.

The warmongers/laptop bombers at Frontpage never met an endless and budget-busting quagmire they didn't like.

I wish he'd say the same thing for Americans.

Leave us alone! We can take our of our own problems. Go shoot some hoops or stuff your skinny face with ice cream or something. Leave us the hell alone!

Amidst the gathering storm in Libya (or is it “Lybia?”) Obama took time out to announce that he wouldn’t defend the Defense of Marriage Act, which states that marriage is between two people—one man and one woman. In other words:
LESBIANS—YES! LIBYANS—NO!

I’m sorry? This is one of the more arrogant, vacuous statements I’ve read in quite awhile. I don’t know, but will assume, that the writer used to work for the Clinton administration during the Bosnia era...

Is it possible they’re on their own because Libyan cash found its way into Obama’s campaign? Maybe Gaddafi can prove it. Maybe that’s why he said the other day that Obama was his friend. Just speculating.

No more American ships in the Med. Iran having “war games with Turkey( first time as FReepers know since 1979), does a UN waltz on Israel while Egypt’s 2,000,000 scream” march to Jerusalem.” Obama has NO idea the storm that’s being created, or maybe he does. maybe this is all a Soros/Obama/ czar...freaky anti-Jew ushernig the 12th clifart plan. Obama me thinks is mentally ill, far worse than Daffy Khaddafi.

Obama once again demonstrated his continued cluelessness intent to keep American power off the world stage. There, fixed it.

“make several stops in Europe and the region to intensify our consultations with allies and partners about the situation in Libya.”

We have allies in N. Africa still? Who knew? We just lost Egypt, Tunisia was too small to matter (and French besides), Libya has been our enemy for decades (maybe centuries if you count the Barbary pirates), Algeria was never our ally and Morocco may be friendly, but calling it an ally is a stretch and they have their own problems with protests now. I guess Paris and Geneva are considered “the region”.

Of all our allies, the Italians will be hurt the most by the unrest in Libya. They get 25% of their energy supplies from Libya.

The ONLY support that the U.S. should give Libyan “rebels” (when the broad outline of their ultimate political aims is unknown) is:

(a) moral and international diplomatic support for their opposition to a ruthless domestic dictator;

(b) medical and food assistance to areas held be the “rebels”.

(c) if asked by the rebels, limited undercover State/CIA support in the areas of intelligence (what is the dictator doing) and governmental organization expert advice - how to set up and manage working quasi-governmental units [This would require an acknowledged non-commitment to continuation of this assistance, should we at any time NOT be in support of a direction the rebels were taking - in opposition tactics OR political direction]. The idea behind this form of assistance is to HELP, NOT to direct.

Anything more than that, such as direct military assistance or intervention and WE, the U.S., would OWN the interim result and become responsible for the rest of the transition. Given my very first statement above, that could be no more a winning prospect, in the end, than supporting the dictator (ANY LONGER) would be now.
