Serious Doubts Raised About Obama's War In Libya
FoxNation ^ | March 20, 2011 | FoxNation

On Saturday, President Obama while visiting Brazil launched a United Nations war without obtaining Congressional approval. We all must remember how the left crucified President George W. Bush over a 9 month debate concerning war with Iraq. This debate included multiple UN Resolutions and a Multi-National Force composed of dozens of nations. Many refer to this time of debate as a "rush to war." Yesterday however, President Obama approved the launch of Tomahawk missiles effectively engaging us in a Libyan civil war. This decision came with no debate in Congress and one UN Resolution that was only voted on 48 hours before.

The should be the very first question to Obama from the media......

Mr. President do you feel that you owe George W. Bush an apology?

Obama will get so tongue screwed his head will pop off....

And still the American people sleep on; just like they did when he signed away our sovereignty as a nation in the dead of night. Observe carefully how the UN handles this present matter. It is the same way they will handle the American people if we become something other than what they deem “acceptable.” The way Obama has thumbed his nose at our elected officials in this matter is just a harbinger of things to come.

Obama is now campaigning for much greater things than President of the United States.

The father of one of the Pan Am victims was on FOX this morning. He was not for this military action.

Bush gave an ultimatum and said what would happen if it wasn't complied with. Obama, not so much...

"Now let me be clear — I suffer no illusions about Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal man. A ruthless man. A man who butchers his own people to secure his own power. He has repeatedly defied UN resolutions, thwarted UN inspection teams, developed chemical and biological weapons, and coveted nuclear capacity. He’s a bad guy. The world, and the Iraqi people, would be better off without him. But I also know that Saddam poses no imminent and direct threat to the United States, or to his neighbors, that the Iraqi economy is in shambles, that the Iraqi military a fraction of its former strength, and that in concert with the international community he can be contained until, in the way of all petty dictators, he falls away into the dustbin of history. I know that even a successful war against Iraq will require a US occupation of undetermined length, at undetermined cost, with undetermined consequences. I know that an invasion of Iraq without a clear rationale and without strong international support will only fan the flames of the Middle East, and encourage the worst, rather than best, impulses of the Arab world, and strengthen the recruitment arm of al-Qaeda. I am not opposed to all wars. I’m opposed to dumb wars."

Barack Obama, 2002
