I wish he would avoid the “Gadhafi was murdering his own people” meme. Gadhafi was fighting an Islamist revolution that sought to overthrow and kill him and his entire family. Like him or not, Gadhafi had every right to fight the rebellion. We don’t support revolutions for the sake of supporting revolutions, especially Islamist ones, which the President appears to have a special affinity for. Even against a “bad guy” (who, unlike the AQ rebels, hadn’t committed an act of aggression against the US in over two decades).
He almost got it right when he started talking about the rebels, but he ultimately dropped the ball by failing to mention the known and proven al Qaeda links, the number of Libyans involved in killing American soldiers in Iraq, the criminal murder and grotesque posthumous sodomizing of Gadhafi, and the massive cache of unsecured weapons — including shoulder fired missiles — that have fallen into the hands of jihadists that we are now responsible for.
It also would have been nice to hear him speak out against committing U.S. troops and air power without Congressional approval beyond the sixty day period outlined in the War Powers Act. Libya was a dangerous step towards giving the United Nations authorization power over American military troops and assets and the implementation of the globalist Responsibility to Protect doctrine.
There’s a lot to hate about what Hussein started in Libya. I really wish Herman Cain understood it better.
and that is something Paul brought up...committing troops without congressional approval...you would have done great in the Q&A today
