Anyone who believes that NATO’s overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi is a “success” for President Obama’s foreign policy should listen to the speech of Mustafa Abdul-Jalil, the chairman of the National Transitional Council, at the “liberation day” celebrations in Benghazi: “We are an Islamic country,” the de facto president of Libya proclaimed to the crowds shouting “Allahu Akbar.” “We take the Islamic religion as the core of our new government. The constitution will be based on our Islamic religion.”

This will cost us.
Nothing will change in Libya, they are simply moving from one oppressive regime to another one. That alone proves what a waste of time and money the whole effort was.
Just like Carter on Iran, we will be dealing Romper Rooms F#@$ ups in middle east foreign policy for 30+ years... Libya and Egypt are well on their way to being satellite states for Iran.
I don’t want to post it, but there is a video showing Qadaffi being sodomized before he was shot making the rounds on the internet.
I guess that’s Obama’s strategy of ‘Leading From Behind’ or is ‘This Is What Democray Looks Like’?
How come the left thought President Bush was a war criminal for capturing Saddam and putting him on trial...yet they are mum on stuff like this?
(no need to answer..just pointing out the obvious hypocrisy of the left)
You are absolutely right. Toss in Tunsinia, Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Afganistan, and Pakistan, and this will turn nuclear when they move on Israel.
From what I understand, sharia was already used in Libya under Gaddafi, so this isn’t something new.
The 2 issues of missing weapons & artillery and alQaida types taking over are what’s immediately important.
The ONLY thing this has to do with, among others, is to make mac daddy look like he cares about ANYTHING other than his re-election.
I just saw that video. These people are absolute ANIMALS!!! I wanted Daffy dead, too, but good gawd! Animals...all!
In the whole of the Middle East, with the exception of Israel, the enemy of our enemy is still our enemy.
I posted the link to that video last night and then spent the rest of the night arguing with a freeper who saw nothing wrong with the “rebels” sodomizing Qadaffi.
He was a bad man who needed to be put on trial for what he did. They could have found him guilty and executed him properly.
Buttttt.........only a strong dictator could possibly keep these uncivilized savages in line.
Don’t think ordinary folks realize what kind of things go on in these Muslim countries. They only understand brute force.
Obama cannot be this stupid. He has advisors who know those countries. This is the outcome he expected from his approval of the riots and protesters. Now he is trying to do the same thing in this country by supporting the protesters on Wall St.
He is a misguided Robbin’ Hood still playing childish games with world politics.
How many more Muslim leaders can he kill without becoming a larger target himself?
Everytime he needs a boost in the polls, he arranges to have one killed? It’s a long time yet till the election.
