Well, that’s great.
We are creating a bunch of Osama bin Laden lookalikes.
NOOO! Say it ain't sooo!!!
Now just as before, the republicans defend us from our enemies and the democrates aid them
He “returned to his life as a humble schoolteacher” right after he got out of prison in ‘08. How long did that last?
When will we hear obama say, “There wasn’t any al Queda in Libya until I went into Libya”?
4. If you support this intervention for humanitarian reasons, please file your apology to George Bush at the door as you leave the anti-war camp. Every reason given on humanitarian grounds to justify this war was also given by Bush regarding Iraq. I didn't believe these things then, and having them come out of the mouth of a nominal political ally doesn't make them any more true now than they were then......
Sad to say, but even Bush was better on this score - he had the guts to actually state an objective going in. Never mind that the real objective turned out to be quite different; it was at least a standard to compare performance against. What's our objective this time? End the Qadafi regime? Then why is he not a target? Moreover, the tactics suck rotten eggs. Whose bright idea was it to throw multi-million dollar missiles at cheap, low-tech targets? We keep up that strategy and even the regime in Libya can outlast us just by hunkering down until we run out of money. Economics is a big part of war, and on that score this “kinetic military action” (Hello, Mr. Orwell? Your patent lawyer is breathlessly awaiting you on line 1) is an epic failure.
Its just beyond outrageous. Half a billion dollars in one week to support Al Queda fighters. Where in the Holy Heckoli is the GOP leadership? Are they just out to lunch permanently or what?
Obastard is a muslime (symp at the least), so he gets it. Most don’t.
What happens is we kill for muslimes, proving our superior warfighting skills. The fact that we are helping them bring NO gratitude in their “honor” based culture. Instead, it is actually an insult because it show their weakness. They then hate us for it.
Too few people have even a clue about the difference between a guilt (Judeau/Chistine) based cultural worldview - where help is received with thanks - and an “honor” (muslime) based worldview - where help is seen as a subjugation and/or humiliation.
The result: Our help to the “rebels” will just make them hate us more just as soon as this fight is done.
The saving grace? Obastard is so incompetent that this fight won’t be done for quite a while. And I’m OK with that just as long as we don’t have boots on the ground...
