Roanoke Times, 3/20/11, Pg 1: Coalition missiles strike Libya
Not one word of concern or dissent or doubt about what Obama is doing!

A despot is killing his people and threatening his neighbors. UN resolutions say stop!
The US launches attacks. Bush is attacked and vilified and charged with human rights abuses and violating The Constitution by Liberals & Democrats and the Liberal-Media.
Same story line – Take 2
Obama launches 120 cruise missiles onto Libya and is praised for his leadership and humanity by Liberals & Democrats and the Liberal-Media smiles from the sidelines.
-
Where’s the outrage and indignation? Where’s the collateral body count of women and children? Where’s the Congressional vote to go to war? Where’s the War Powers Act? Where are Cindy Sheehan and her Democrat political fellow travelers? Where are the scathing Roanoke Times editorials of righteous indignation touting that war is never the answer?
-
The hypocrisy of Obama, his associates and the liberal media is beyond comprehension.
Obama has literally abandoned the Iraq War with no clear exit criteria, he has massively expanded the Afghanistan War with no clear mission accomplished criteria, he has expanded the Afghan War into Pakistan and now he has launched us into a Libyan War with no clear objectives other than raining down hell and damnation from the skies upon yet another Muslim Country.
-
We are now at war in four Muslim dominated countries in the Middle East and Obama and friends think GITMO is the major focal point for Muslim hatred of the US. If we just closed GITMO the Radical Muslims wouldn’t be able to get any new recruits!
-
And how does one differentiate between an armed insurrection in an internal conflict in Libya from what we have been defining as enemy combatants and terrorists trying to seize control of their country? Who are the terrorists and who are the freedom fighters?
How many of the combatants in Libya are parts of the Radical Muslim Brotherhood or are surrogates for Iran or Hezbollah or Al-Qaida?
-
Obama’s not using war as a diversion to get public attention away from his failures and misdirection’s over the past two years so that he can get reelected again, is he? The liberal media sure sung that Bush song with gusto.
-
Looks like its time for another Obama world-wide apology and self- deprecation tour.
-
Just remember; Obama was supposed to be the smart one giving us hope and change we can depend upon!
-
For all our sake; there just has to be a better choice in 2012!
