Did You Sign Up for Regime Change in Libya, Obamabots?

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.

Pretending to Help Egypt and Tunisia

The US and West’s aid package to Egypt and Tunisia is diabolically clever.

Both countries are revolutions in suspended animation. Egypt is currently a military junta.

The genius is, we look like we’re “helping” post-revolutionary governments while, in reality, we are financing and arming oppressors.

Maybe Obama IS smart.

Cartoonists Anonymous

Like many other media outlets, the New York Times treats cartoonists as unpersons. Check out this piece about Israel:

A cartoon in the centrist newspaper Yediot Aharonot illustrated the concern. It showed Mr. Netanyahu’s returning plane flying near a volcano. Inside the plane someone says, “All in all, it was a very successful visit.” From the volcano, smoke rises that spells out “S-E-P-T-E-M-B-E-R.”

Newspapers and airwaves were filled with similar commentary. Avi Dichter, a former head of the Shin Bet internal security service and a Parliament member from the centrist Kadima Party, said on Israel Radio, “My fear is that this round of speeches in the United States may leave us and the Palestinians with a closed door.” He added, “It is impossible that in the present reality in the Middle East and here between the sea and the Jordan River we have no next step.”

Who drew the cartoon? We don’t know. But they namecheck the radio host.

The typical usage–“A cartoon in the New Yorker…”–is offensive to those of us who try to produce art that is non-interchangeable. We complain; they promise to change; they never do.

Hers to Lose

Sarah Palin might run.

Don’t laugh–OK, laugh. But I think she could win. Not just the nomination, mainly because of anti-Mormon bigotry in the GOP, but the presidency.

The rage of the 20% unemployed, the 99ers, etc., could create a tsunami. Obama will pay for ignoring the economic disaster.

Loghner Unfit for Trial

There’s still hope for Obama when he faces his war crimes trial: an insanity defense.

Seriously, it’s nice to see this ruling. Too often, people who are mentally impaired are thrown in prison rather than given the help they need.
