If I recall correctly, we went into Libya – or, at any rate, over Libya – to stop the brutal Gadhafi dictatorship killing the Libyan people. And, thanks to our efforts, a whole new mass movement of freedom-loving democrats now has the opportunity to kill the Libyan people. As the Los Angeles Times reported from Benghazi, gangs of young gunmen are roaming the city "rousting Libyan blacks and immigrants from sub-Saharan Africa from their homes and holding them for interrogation as suspected mercenaries or government spies." According to the New York Times, "Members of the NATO alliance have sternly warned the rebels in Libya not to attack civilians as they push against the regime of Col. Moammar Gadhafi." We dropped bombs on Gadhafi's crowd for attacking civilians, and we're prepared to do the same to you! "The coalition has told the rebels that the fog of war will not shield them from possible bombardment by NATO planes and missiles, just as the regime's forces have been punished."

Mark Steyn ping.
Freepmail me, if you want on or off the Mark Steyn ping list.
Since Obama is a good Democrat, the MSM, talking heads, and even Republican political opponents will be muted in their analyses of what we’re doing there. There will not be in depth analysis of what exactly the mission is. There will not be any obvious questions asked. For example, it appears that many of the rebels are affiliated with Al Qaeda and Bin Laden. Do we really want to back rebels who would set up an Al Qaeda state, since we’re saying that Gadafi should go???
Did Obama and his boys think any of this through before we were committed to a course of action in Libya???
It is amazing the depth of sheer stupidity and lack of foresight with this whole mess.
Reminds of sophomores in college.
Hey guys! Let’s all drive to Florida! YEAH, let’s go...
100 miles out someone says,
Hey, Where are we going in Florida?
I dunno...
Well, Where are we going to stay?
I dunno...
What are we going to do in Florida?
I dunno...its Florida dude! YEAH!
Ok, did anyone bring gas money? We’re out..and I’m getting hungry..uuuuuh nope
These guys are planning the war in Libya.

And when they run out of gas on the way home they dig out a credit card with just enough balance on it to fill up and then turn around and head back to Florida.

We are living through a farce (flop), wrapped in a mockery (sick comedy), warpped in an enigma imitating a president known as Zer0 -- take your pick on the order.
He lies about every detail that slithers out of his mouth. The form, substance, background, data, interpretation and meaning of every detail. He lies about his birth, his associates, his appointees, his policies, his activities, his thoughts, his family, everything. It's as if he can't speak a word without turning it into a dozen lies. Does anybody truly believe he has been a citizen from birth. Does anybody truly believe that he rejects the venom of Wright, Ayers, Jones, and hundreds of others, including his own spouse? Does anybody truly believe that he loves this country and wants the best for its people?
How do you figure that out, we don't know why we are there!
That would be like trying to bomb muggers into submission.
Thanks JLS.
Steyn’s a gift to the voice of Liberty.
Gotta read this article.
Either that, or we haven't got a clue what we're doing.
I vote for the latter.
Steyn makes a an acute and sly comparison of the Obama/Hillary Libyan mission plan with with Deepak Chopra’s idiotic presentation, the “Soul of Leadership”.
2/14/2011 - As the world watches Egypt move toward democracy, mind-body expert Deejay Chopra is paying special attention to the role social media has played in helping protestors organize and disseminate their messages....to a packed crowd at the Kellogg School!
Taqqiyya is certainly alive and well. I guess you can [unladylike word] a [unladylike word]ter, if he's not a very bright one.
Does anyone know if he is a citizen now ( of **this**nation!).
Does anybody truly believe that he loves this country and wants the best for its people?/p>
What country? Whose people? Where's the evidence?
That is a very revealing statement for a number of reasons:
(1) It is most likely false, but hard to safely disprove during a civil war.
(2) It is an elitist statement. If the civil war was led by bakers, plumbers and farmers would it be less legitimate?
(3) The leaders "appear to be credible"? So we have gone to war based on appearances alone? Most of us would prefer solid evidence before we risk American lives.
Al Queda membership practically required and advanced degree in medicine, engineering or law. Obama really stepped in it with this elitist comment that demonstrates either his ignorance or his closet support of jihadists.
“an advanced degree”
Good Steyn.
