There may be less than meets the eye to President Barack Obama's statements Monday night that NATO is taking over from the U.S. in Libya and that U.S. action is limited to defending people under attack there by Moammar Gadhafi's forces. In transferring command and control to NATO, the U.S. is turning the reins over to an organization dominated by the U.S., both militarily and politically. In essence, the U.S. runs the show that is taking over running the show. And the rapid advance of rebels in recent days strongly suggests they are not merely benefiting from military aid in a defensive crouch, but rather using the multinational force in some fashion - coordinated or not - to advance an offensive. Here is a look at some of Obama's assertions in his address to the nation Monday, and how they compare with the facts:

The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
This is all moot given the fact that this “war” or whatever the hell Obama wants to call it is unconstitutional being enabled by a GOP beaten into submission.
oh snap!
ROTFLMAO
OBAMA CRASH AND BURN...
Sure beats falling into a drunken stupor, if you get my drift.
I tinks his Libya efforts are threefold; to piss off any remaining American allies and effectively destroy NATO, to embroil America and its resources in the Kinetic Caliphate Consolidation and in doing so stretch America to make it vulnerable to the Kinetic movement.
This Libya thing AINT about Libya. Its smoke.
In the meanwhile its SLS. Spin, lie, spin.
“The president does not have the power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation,” he told The Boston Globe in 2007 in his presidential campaign. “History has shown us time and again ... that military action is most successful when it is authorized and supported by the legislative branch.”
Obama’s defense secretary, Robert Gates, said Sunday that the crisis in Libya “was not a vital national interest to the United States, but it was an interest.”
Kinetic Military Action.

He is a destroyer of western civilization.
What a crock... This is nothing more then a WAR FOR OIL.... The EU gets a large portion of its oil from the Libyan OIL FIELDS, this is a dirty coalition that is only in it for self interest and Obama got played by the Europeans...
Typical...liberal idiocy on full display.
I wonder who is more capable of following through on their word... Obama or Khadaffi?
We’ll find out soon.
Worth reading.
He’s bent on destroying our economy, our currency, our energy interests, our military, our long time alliances, and is offering the spoils of that war to the SEIU and other unions when he’s thru. That’s when he takes those unions and his show to either the UN or to a newly formed Marxist Jihadi Trade Union thuggery somewhere in the ME.
Right, Obama get gamed and dragged kicking and screaming into Libya by a bunch of Euroweenies who have their own self-interests above everything else. This “war” is about oil and business for Europe.
[[and that U.S. action is limited to defending people under attack there by Moammar Gadhafi’s forces.]]
CORRECTION: “and that U.S. action is limited to defending Al Queda and the muslim brotherhood under attack there by Moammar Gadhafi’s forces.”
OBAMA: “Our military mission is narrowly focused on saving lives.”
TRANSLATION: our mission is to arm al Quaeda and the muslim brotherhood so they can take control of libya”
The students who were actively targetted by the iranian leaders apparently werren’t al quaeda enough for Obama, so they got absolutely ZERO help from oblah blah
OBAMA: TRying to divert people’s attention away from the FACT that obama wants to protect terrorists- “an important strategic interest in preventing Gadhafi from overrunning those who oppose him. A massacre would have driven thousands of additional refugees across Libya’s borders, putting enormous strains on the peaceful - yet fragile - transitions in Egypt and Tunisia.” “I am convinced that a failure to act in Libya would have carried a far greater price for America.”
TRANSLATION: In order to stop Ghadaffi from preventing the muslim brotherhood from taking over his coutnry, we, the US will fight alongside tghese terrorist ‘rebels’, while ignoring LIGITIMATE uprisings by more peaceful people across the globe
OBAMA: “And tonight, I can report that we have stopped Gadhafi’s deadly advance.”
TRANSLATION: Because I AM the second coming, Ghadaffi has lost his nation in record time- (even though it hasn’t), but because I say it has, it has!
OBAMA: “Some nations may be able to turn a blind eye to atrocities in other countries. The United States of America is different.
TRANSLATION: wHILE IT’;S alright for me, Mr. President of the united states, to ignore more peaceful natiosn attempting to oust their brutal dictators, it’s perfectly alright for me to pick and choose which terrorist factions I wish to give aid to. I’m not goign to sit idly by and watch these poor terrorists get into a war agaisnt htier leader that they know they can’t win, get slaughtered and fall by the wayside. Antybody who questions my descisions obviously doesn’t support ‘humanitarian projects’ asnd should be carefully scrutinized by the CIA/FBI-
Ubama lied.
Surprise, surprise.
Hsb wanted me to check out his make-up. Said it was 'gaggable'.
I peeked, and decided that all that was missing was the coffin and the horizontal body position. I mean....he looked like a piece carved beige wax.
