That’s what we’re getting: another neo-con, imperialist attempt to overthrow a Muslim government.
Obama’s Libyan war was sold to fake liberals as a short-term operation to protect Libyan civilians.
Now we’re arming and funding radical Islamists in tanks and attempting to assassinate Qaddafi. We’ve created a stalemate, a bloody quagmire in which two evenly-matched foes will fight on forever.
From the NYT:
In interviews in Washington, at NATO headquarters in Brussels and in the alliance’s southern command center in Naples, Italy, officials have described a new strategy to intensify the pressure — and drive out Colonel Qaddafi, a goal that officials now privately acknowledge extends beyond the boundaries of the United Nations mandate to protect civilians.
This week they are intensifying attacks on government targets in Tripoli, the Libyan capital. They plan to step up the effort even more this week, with the arrival of a dozen French and four British attack helicopters that can hit targets more precisely in and around Tripoli, but are also more vulnerable to ground fire.
This isn’t what the Obamabots signed up for. But this is what they’re getting. And just watch: they’ll justify it.
Because they will defend ANYTHING Obama does.

So if Russia would have invaded us for our response to WTO in seattle in the 90’s we would have supported it?
Bush, Jr. invaded Afghanistan and Iraq (the evidence tying Afghanistan to 9/11 was shaky, and the evidence tying Iraq was non-existent, which just proved to most Americans: the US President knows far more than his subjects, who must accept what they do NOT understand).
Mr. Rall once posted a cartoon that the US Constitution says every president must be worse than his predecessor. I thought he was wrong, since no one could possibly have been worse than Bush, Jr.
I stand corrected.
Come on, relax Ted, like this is a liberal war, so only the BAD guys die. Its not an evil conservative war where senseless violence has consequences for people.
