President Obama's decision to bomb Libya is not even so multilateral as President George W. Bush's decision to attack Iraq. Nor is it ultimately driven by humanitarian concerns -- and certainly not by any vital U.S. national interest.
Despite Obama's vilification of Bush for his alleged unilateralism, "Obama's 'coalition of the willing,'" according to foreign policy reporter Josh Rogin, "is smaller than any major multilateral operation since the end of the Cold War." Obama's Libyan intervention is more unilateral than Dubya's in another respect, as well: Obama has brazenly refused even to consult Congress, much less seek its blessing.
As I argued in my most recent column, this is just the foreign policy outworking of Obama's campaign to fundamentally transform America. Notice the common thread. He is using domestic policies to effectuate "economic justice" at home, trying to cut "wealthy" Americans down to size. Now he is using foreign policy to diminish America's role and stature in the international community to cut wealthy, imperialistic America down to size.

CALLIPHATE
...that’s what he really wants.
Obama is browning off a lot of lefties in this little dawn odyssey of his, and conservatives pretty well agree it’s not right. The GOP and the Dems could well agree to yank his funding a la Vietnam.

No...
Just madness.
Obama's madness.
Led into war by a president who can't be trusted.
He's 'all in' now to do Al-Qaeda's dirty work - helping the Brotherhood take over North Africa.
Zone 7 New world order.
so true... so consistently Obama.
However, you did not mention the word caliphate or concepts in that vein which are consistent with his heritage and over 20 years of understudy with Wright and Farrakhan.
In one deft move obama has embroiled the United States in another middle-eastern hornets nest, and has conducted a coup over Congressional power to wage war. A very dark historical landmark in our political history.

SUMMARY OF THE RESPONSIBILITY TO PROTECT:
THE REPORT OF THE INTERNATIONAL COMMISSION ON
INTERVENTION AND STATE SOVEREIGNTY (ICISS)
The Responsibility to Protect report, commissioned by the Government of Canada and produced in 2001 by the International Commission on Intervention and State sovereignty (ICISS), seeks to lay out alternatives to the deeply criticized humanitarian interventions of the 1990s. More specifically, the mandate of the drafters was to try to develop a global political consensus on
how to move from polemics and often paralysis towards action within the international system, particularly through the United Nations. ICISS Report, para. 1.7 The report is available on line in several languages at www.ciise-iciss.gc.ca/report-en.asp.
The World Federalist Movement-Institute for Global Policy (WFM) project Responsibility to Protect-Engaging Civil Society seeks to deepen the debate on the ICISS report and other writings that feed into the responsibility to protect framework. The following summary...”

R2P?
To me? That’s a poor argument, very lame. However, could be very instrumental for other reasons if one wants to work a spin.
There are many more areas far more needy of R2P than Libya.
Heck! They should use it for Israel who has Syria, Lebanon and Iran guaranteeing the demise of Israel, but ~ Oabama and the farcical UN would not see it that way.
This war is about jobs. Get world war III going and US has to build more weapons for NATO .... Good union jobs.
Do we want more GUNS or BUTTER? This is an economic war. Its a War for JOBS, TECHNOLOGY INVESTMENTS, and to Get re-elected as he wants to get people back to work with new jobs in the defense industry when all HELL breaks loose.
AXELROD AND OBUMMER have this scripted out to not only destroy the economy when WORLD WAR III erupts but he also knows that he can do anything he wants as he only answers to GEORGE SOROS.

From what I’ve heard Barack Hussein Obama was in on lining up the dominoes in the Middle East from the get-go.
...thats what he really wants.
Word up.
Libya sits on three large aquifers of water. Literally underground seas of fresh water. Whoever controls the water will control the entire ME.
