I suspect the European collation was going to act without the US....and this worried the administration about their “leadership” role in the world. If they weren’t involved...they were sitting on the sidelines and be listening to talk-show hosts mention it forty times an hour.
Crazy old Col. Qaddafi was right about that wasn't he?
Something curious here is that qadaffi is a big buddy of farakahn and rev wright, obama’s preacher of 20 years. And now obama is turning on qadaffi and minister farakahn is some kind of p o’d.
What happened to rewarding his friends and punishing his enemies?
Do you mean to say people are hypocrites? Perish the thought. (Can’t wait for a Republican President, when profligate spending won’t be a problem anymore.)
This is a media war.
Excellent.
If you want to see the liberal take on all this, read the comments at the end of the article. A couple of liberals actually show up to defend obambam and deny liberal hypocrisy... and boy do they hate their boy being compared to W!!!
this is what happens you know, when you are un-educated and stuck in Libya.
Questions for liberals?
Sorry, I’ve found it to be a complete waste of time trying to reason with liberals.
They need deprogramming similar to followers of religious cults.
I have tried to give Mr. John Hawkins wide latitude but his columns (usually comprised of lists) are, unfortunately, rehashes of other material and all too frequently statements of the bleeding obvious.
That was indeed one of the 14 or so reasons (quoted from the resolution): "Whereas the current Iraqi regime has demonstrated its continuing hostility toward, and willingness to attack, the United States, including by attempting in 1993 to assassinate former President Bush and by firing on many thousands of occasions on United States and Coalition Armed Forces engaged in enforcing the resolutions of the United Nations Security Council;"
Obamba is still and as usual supporting the islazmization of the western world and islamism in the “arab world” and the Middle East..
Don’t waste your time asking for some sanity and consistancy among liberals....
About Obabama he obviously doesn’t know where he is heading.
He relays on the fake UN resolution but says that “Gaddafi has to go”....God’s word (err the pathetic UN parrot and poodle i mean)
This article is fun to throw in Democrats face. I was making this same point yesterday.
Actually I am no fan of Bush and I am not enthused about Obama’s third war either. I like that Republicans keep calling him to clarify his objectives, that can only cause him headaches.
#4) asks where are the protests, actually left wing (communist) groups like ANSWER are protesting Libya bombing in different cities but it is not being reported. The protests are relatively small compared to the Bush era ones because Obama is president. It's like Republicans not protesting Bush over spending. It's called the ‘lesser of two evils’ strategy. The president says to his base :”I know you dont like what I did but that other party would do even worse”. It's also called ‘good cop-bad cop’. The key is to believe that your guy had good motives, and was tricked by the other side. now Democrats will feel compelled to play that game.
Still it's fun to watch the liberals now try to defend going to war without congressional approval and defending Bush regime change doctrine that that they all claimed was illegal under Bush, now great under Obama. Will Sweden indict Obama for war crimes now?? :)
