Obama and NATO violated not only the UN mandate but also The Geneva Convention.
If this had been Bush when it came to Saddam then he would be serving life after the trial in Hague.
So now FR posters are worried what the UN thinks? Give me a break. The UN is and was a fig leaf for US power projection. It's why we made the damn thing and HQed it in our country.
How did Obama and NATO violate the Geneva Convention when we didn't have possession of this character? It's like blaming Eisenhower or FDR for the partisans shooting and hanging Mussolini.
I, for one, won't pretend this forum wouldn't be crowing if Bush had pulled of the same feat with no loss of American life. No less an adored figure, and one who holds the UN in contempt, on this board than Bolton put Libya amongst the 'Axis of Evil'.
We don't know what will become of Libya, but all the crocodile tears for how the Libyan despot met his end make me sick. Nancys. Nancys everywhere.
Helping those screaming banshees murder that man was not the civilized way to handle him.
Capture him and let him stand trial. His victims deserved to see him account for what he did to them and their families.
This filth we have in our WH is no better than those screaming hordes who murdered and beat a wounded man. He enabled it full well knowing what would happen.
Look at the difference in the way Osama was treated. He killed 3,000 or more of our citizens and we hurried his funeral at sea to be according to the Muslim faith.
They aren't in a hurry to bury this guy according to their faith.....it’s all smoke and mirrors and they believe in their faith only when they “feel” like it.
Liberals are great at molding the arguments by conveniently ignoring the law when it suits their needs. Clinton bombed Serbia for 78 days without congressional approval as mandated by the constitution but somehow avoided all the flack. Even many here on FR at the time didn’t take issue with it.
Heck, even Dubya continued the same Clinton policy by recognizing the current narco-state known as Kosovo. So every time I read someone quoting the Constitution in this regard it makes me cringe because It shows how many people from the right and left don’t take it seriously.
Oh, no the geneva convention and the UN mandate, not those, say it isn’t so! The USA must always obey the UN and follow the geneva convention. **snicker**
