I’m still trying to connect the dots. Why Libya? Maybe because Gaddafi is Sunni and ruling over a Shia majority, and Obama seems to prefer Shia. He has coddled Iran, and now says he won’t attack Assad (Shia) in Syria.

He has stuck with the Bush policy on Iraq (former ruler was Sunni oppressing Shia majority), has escalated in Afghanistan against Taliban (Sunni).

He has almost tripled the drone attacks in North Wajiristan (Sunni), after campaigning against “bombing villages and killing civilians”).

He seems to prefer the Hezbollah (Shia) to Israel.

Am I correct that Egypt is a majority Shia country?

Any corrections welcome, but Obama looks like he really loves the Shia for some reason.

Libya is largely Sunni. I don't think it's a Sunni-Shia thing with Barry. Why Libya, he did his brackets, played some golf, it was still there. And probably someone told him to do something.

I think we owe Ghadaffi some payback for Pan Am 103, but I dont' think that's what's happening here. But I don't think it's a Sunni-Shia thing. GWB, in Iraq and Afghanistan (and Gaza and Eqypt who ignored him) was into a vision of democracy. Perhaps naive, but a vision, aka a policy.

Our current CIC, I haven't a clue. If it's protecting civilians, we've got a big job ahead of us.
