Ed Schultz on Libya: 'Given That Americans Died on That 747 Over Lockerbie, I’m All for This Mission'
The perpetually anti-war Ed Schultz took his seat behind the desk at MSNBC studios Monday with the expressed mission of selling Barack Obama's air assault on Libya to his viewers.
So passionate was the "Ed Show" host in supporting the President he several times showed video footage of downed Pan Am flight 103 while claiming that Moammar Gaddafi was responsible thereby justifying an attack on him over 22 years later.
ED SCHULTZ: President Obama has decided on a more focused, realistic approach. He’s trying to give the rebels who want democracy a fighting chance at just that, and trying to stop Gaddafi, this is the human thing to do, from slaughtering his own people. Now aside from all the reasons for this mission, you will never convince me that Gaddafi didn’t have a hand in the Lockerbie bombing. You’ll never convince me that Gaddafi hasn’t supplied resources to terrorists. Given the fact that Americans died on that 747 over Lockerbie, I’m all for this mission. I think the President of the United States Barack Obama deserves the benefit of the doubt and our support.
Interesting defense. Readers are reminded that Pan Am 103 was downed in December 1988. That's a reason for going after Gaddafi now?
As for "slaughtering his own people" and supplying "resources to terrorists," the same was true of Saddam Hussein.

He’s bought and paid for by the DNC.
I'm ok with that.
“I could while away the hours,
Conversing with the flowers...
If I only had a brain”
Thanks Ed. Nice to know you think things through and can tell us how this an orderly change, what the Libyans will get out of this and what the world will get.
I can’t believe they let this turnip on TV after he fell off the truck.
Hey Ed - this is Obama’s illegal war for oil.
Had the identical situation arose with GWB he would have been frothing at the mouth.
How we can be such a hypocrite is beyond me, both his viewers must see right through him.
OK fatso. Put on your helmet, pick up your rifle and lead the way.
Last night I happened to flip onto the Rachel Maddow program, and she was ranting about presidents taking us to war after running as peace presidents. She had of course clips of every republican president, and she skipped Clinton.
But I kept watching, because no matter how many falsehoods she told about the republicans (and how clueless she sounded complaining about Bush “changing his opinion”, completely ignoring that 9/11 happened), I wanted to see her whine about Obama following in their footsteps.
But I forgot that Maddow is, essentially, insane. Because when she got to Obama, she insisted that he was actually KEEPING his promise not to go to war, because he SAID we weren’t really going to war, so we must not be.
Then she went off on republicans who she insisted were complaining that Obama didn’t “go to war” like they wanted.
When have the rebels stated they want “democracy”?
old ed is frigging nuts.
Maybe all of us would too if we knew what the mission was.
It would be interesting to know what Ed thought of Reagan's more timely military response to the Lockerbie bombing. I bet Ed was ranting and raving that it was an illegal impeachable offense on the Presidents part.
Well said! Another link...

I thought it was the SEIU.
It is INSANITY! The media and Obama want a progressive takeover at all costs.
Schultz knows nutting.
Ed, like MOST democrats, are FOR WAR if a democrat is in the White House, and opposed if a republican is in the White House.
...and as we all know, they can change from for to against on a dime if the White House occupant changes from dem to GOP..Hillary, Kerry, and even Reid, were gung-ho to go get Saddam....but when G.W. won the White House, they were NEVER for it.
Add to this list: It's not war when Democrats do it.
They cannot articulate a US national interest, but they are all for it
