The Media gave him cover for his Illegal War for French Oil in Libya, that 40% of Americans don’t even realize happened, so he thought he could do the same thing this time.
Well, Putin said “Hell No”, but Obama’s Ego tried to get us in to WW3 anyway, until someone put the brakes on him, HARD.
I think you have it exactly right. Good post.
Exactly, and this premeditated criminal act was what finally tipped the Russians to his game.
Obama promised Putin the US military would stay out of Libya if Russia did not veto UN sanctions in the Security Council.
Putin agreed and Obama backstabbed him using US air power to kill Qaddafi. It is the last time Obama will trick the Russians or Chinese.
In addition to the oil for France, Qaddafi's gold went to the IMF to prevent Libya from becoming a competitive banker for North Africa, and Qaddafi's weapons were delivered to Al Queda and Muslim Brotherhood terrorists all over the Middle East.
You're right, the Russians are in "Hell No" mode, now.
I’d like to think that 0bama got a wake-up moment that this stuff is not just a war of words & threats.
His little proxy war is a huge powder keg for big mouth 0bama.
Someone put the brakes on him? He did have that evening stroll around the garden with an advisor?
And part of me thinks the Boehner and McCain backing was a ‘punk the president’ tactic to put the whole heaping pile of middle east crap on 0bama’s plate. (yeah...wishful thinking I know.)
0bama suddenly realized he owns this mess.
