Our Libyan Adventure

Are you suggesting that we would be better off with the Qaddafi dictatorship still in effect?” asked Chris Wallace, browbeating presidential candidate Michele Bachmann.

And why shouldn’t he? After all, the Fox News anchor had just gotten Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Sen. Lindsey Graham to perform the requisite “Arab Spring” cartwheels over the demise of Libyan strongman Moammar Qaddafi. Apparently, when leading from behind ends up leading to a vicious murder at the hands of a wild-eyed mob, even folks who once got the sniffles over fastidiously non-lethal waterboarding can feel good about pulling out their party hats.

Imagine, then, the gall of Bachmann. The Minnesota Republican persisted in finding the cankers on the Arab Spring smiley face.

The most obviously ugly of these is that a throng of seething Islamists stripped, beat, paraded, and finally shot Qaddafi execution-style, all the while screaming the signature “Allahu Akbar!” battle cry with a fervor that would have made Mohamed Atta blush. They then shoved the despot’s corpse into a refrigerator — to maintain it for further triumphant display before thousands of gawking spectators. Too bad there was no official from the Obama administration’s Islamic Thought Police on hand to remind the mob of the Koran’s oft-quoted (but oftener ignored) teaching that to slay a single person is to slay all of mankind.

This should not surprise anyone, Mike Wallace is the father of Chris Wallace, what else would we expect from that smarmy little dipsh*t?

The best single summary I have seen. And here I thought National Review was dead. Good post, ty for it.

Not hard to understand when you realize that the goal of those on the left is One World Government with them at the helm. It doesn’t matter who has to die or how it has to be done to destabilize a country or its government if it furthers their aims. If they have to kill millions its OK with them as their ends justify their means. (Ref: USSR, NAZI Germany, Cambodia, China, Cuba, etc. etc etc.). History, history, history.
