VINEYARD HAVEN, Mass. (AP) -- Following a day of dramatic developments in Libya, President Barack Obama said Sunday night that the situation there had reached a "tipping point" and that control of the capital was "slipping from the grasp of a tyrant."

He called on Moammar Gadhafi to accept reality and relinquish power.

Honestly who cares. This is not even up there with Osama getting whacked. A third rate megalomaniac with a narcissistic personality in a third world oil rich nation gets his ass handed to him by some rebels who will replace him with another insane dictator. And this will create how many jobs in the USofA? This will only make headlines until unemployment numbers on Thursday. By the way read a blog said Gaddafi's downfall was Bush's fault.

Now only if the US can slip from the grasp of theirs’.

By Thursday the Ben bernake and the asshats at Jackson hole will produce another rabbit from the hat of tricks.

When can we say the same about the U.S.A.?

443 days until the election.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

The Muslim Brotherhood at work for you.

Of course this is Bush's “fault!” It was President Bush who intimidated the psychotic islamofascist Kadaffy into giving up his weapons of mass destruction, thus making this rebellion's success possible. President Bush said liberating Iraq would lead to the downfall of tyranical dictatorships all over the middle east and HE WAS RIGHT!

Yeah, let’s rejoice for Libya in their “out of the frying pan and into the fire” moment in history.

As rebel forces in Libya converged on Tripoli on Sunday, American and NATO officials cited an intensification of American aerial surveillance in and around the capital city as a major factor in helping to tilt the balance after months of steady erosion of Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi’s military.

Hooray for Obama. Obama did it. He personally slew another monster by means of his magical aerial surveillance machine (operated in secret from Martha's Vineyard).

What if Al Qaeda allies take control in Libya and Egypt?

It's not a matter of if but when

There's a bigger picture out there, I fear.
It's not just Obama involved in this, it's his entire staff, advisers, state department and so on, along with similarly exalted muckity mucks of major European allies. Forget that they're socialists or whatever, they share a common interest in the outcome. What the hell are these people up to?

They must realize that the Muslim Brothers will seize control eventually. They seem to be gambling on the belief that the MBs talk a bigger game than they'll actually play. They seem to think they'll remember us fondly after they've gained power.

Is it more of their kumbaya romancing or something a little less rosy, grittier? Funny how this comes as our position on Israel has turned negative. I always wondered why anyone from our side would oppose the only free society in that region.

So, what have I left out of these musings?...
Oh yeah: Iran.

You should care because Bozo is running an illegal war. Why our congress didn’t put a stop to it is a mystery except for the fact both parties want the same thing. Control over the people. Also, the idiot in chief will take credit for “bringing down the dictator” and gain a few points in the polls. Something I don’t want to see.

Exactly!

“Obama: Libya slipping from grasp of tyrant”

Thanks to Obama, Libya will now slip into the iron handed grasp of Islamist tyrants.

Looking forward to the day when we in America can say the same.

This is NOT good news. The Muslim Brotherhood from Egypt is behind this. Obama and Hillary helped them and now the MB’s next war will be against Israel. If they win - and they CAN given they have just grabbed up BILLIONS in Gadaffi’s gold and already have Egypt's armed forces - the NEXT stop is Europe. Obama will be gone but the damage he does/did will live on.
