“BBC’s Ted Koppel who wonders of all the countries worldwide that face a potential humanitarian crisis, why do the citizens of Libya deserve America’s focus and protection more than the citizens of any other country?”

Answer:  Nobody knows the answer.  Not even O-Bomb-A.

The most cogent statement was by Hillary Clinton who said if a massacre had occurred, then those on the right–many who called for a fly zone before they opposed it–would have blamed the president’s inaction for the slaughter. It is all about political opportunism for these despicable righty douchebags.

Common sense from this Englishman .

BTW… you do realize you just admitted that Obama went to war for politics… right?

From your statement it sounds like the Obama administration is doing it for poltical reasons. In other words, he’s doing it so the right doesn’t blame him for not doing it. Sounds like political opportunism.

What do you think of Koppel’s analysis. He’s just a “righty douchebag” huh?

Why Did Libya Win The ‘Humanitarian Defense Sweepstakes Of 2011?’

“BBC’s Ted Koppel who wonders of all the countries worldwide that face a potential humanitarian crisis, why do the citizens of Libya deserve America’s focus and protection more than the citizens of any other country?”

Is Ted trying to insinuate Obama is helping out a Muslim country over any other humanitarian crisis?

The only people who would have cried if a bunch of al Queda terrorists got slaughtered is the America hating far left.

Myself I was hoping it was going to be Cuba that won the sweepstakes. I wanted so bad to experience their fantastic Free Healthcare and their Modern Rapid Transit System.

No you idiot it has nothing to do with Muslims it has everything to do with it’s oil resources. God what dopes these people are.

“No, no,” Gates said in a joint appearance with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. “It was not — it was not a vital national interest to the United States, but it was an interest and it was an interest for all of the reasons Secretary Clinton talked about. The engagement of the Arabs, the engagement of the Europeans, the general humanitarian question that was at stake,” he said.

The MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION about Libya: Who are the anti-gadhafi rebels?

Are they al qaeda? Radical Islamic muslims? America-hating Jihadis? Mercenaries working for ahmadinejad? The Muslim Brotherhood/Hamas? From the information gathered by Britain’s Daily Telegraph and elsewhere and summarized by Byron York in the Washington Examiner, it seems that all of these are involved. No rational American would want to help any of them get in charge of Libya.

Thanks to this article, I now understand why “You Lie!” hussein is supporting these rebels. These types stick together.

As usual, when you have nothing to contribute you just make personal insane attacks.

Now that the TeaPottyPatsy has pasted and posted his daily rant, a return to the question.

Perhaps the fact that Libya lies between Tunisia (Jan, 20110) and Egypt (Feb. 2011) and is ruled by a ruthless dictator who has threatened to “go door to door” seeking out dissenters? Possibly the entire region needs a little oversight to allow peaceful change to occur.

And perhaps, simpleton, you should stop with the “TeaPottyPatsy” fall back line for everyone you disagree with.

Mr. Koppel’s concerns are legitimate, or are you going to call him a Tea Party Patsy as well. In fact, I can guarantee you that his questions were the first that came to mind of most of our intell analyst minds, that is until they were told to shut their mouths and get back to work. Can you tell me who the rebels are affinlited with? Why do we not know anything about them other than they want Mo Mo out. Why is it that this President decided to play the Humanitarian Lotto, as Ted said, and give Libiya the prize? Why has it taken him weeks to actually decide to talk to the peasants, excuse me, American People about why we are going into a THIRD WAR? Why has the message coming out of this admistration looked more like a bad skit at amature hour rather than a coherent foriegn policy. Well I can answer the last one, because they are to busy looking at the politics rather than the mission. They are trying to ride the line between stopping Mo Mo and pissing of their pacifist base. You know, like you, looking at the politics and willing to dismiss anything your guy does.

Now, I can’t prove it since I was not posting at the time, but the moment we went into Iraq, I vented my disagreement, based on what the CIA was saying, not on my politics. I still am asking why we built an embassy compound in Iraq larger than the square millage of Vatican City. Does anyone think we are pulling out of there anytime soon?

And if you really think that we are going to bring a peaceful change to anything in that region, then I suggest that you put the drugs down and join the real world. You answer this question truthfully, if you can. If that had been George H Bush who gave the order would you be so “understanding”. Based on your posts I think that we would both agree you would be with Joe Biden trying to impeach him. But now it is your guy, so it’s OK.

After all, how is that whole Iraq and Afghanistan peace thing working out, (sorry to my brethren on the right.)
Our military is not a police force, it is meant to kill the enemy and force him to his knees, cut and dry. You want cops, call the UN, better yet don’t, half of them would rape you as look at you.

Can you actually sit there and tell me that you believe we will bring peace to a region who makes war for sport? I bet you were ready to have Bush brought up on trial for war crimes , well now it is your guy in charge and what do I hear out of you, “we are bringing peace”. Tell you what, take some classes in foreign affairs, spend eight years in intelligence and call me back when you can make an informed opinion.

I agree with you about the purpose if our military. It was, I believe, Gen Shinseki, who said at the start of “Iraqi Freedom” that the “purpose of the army is to kill people and break things”.
The actions in Libya come as a result of UN declarations and NATO agreements. The operations have been turned over to NATO.
There IS change going on in “That part of the world” RIGHT NOW!
WE can be seen as part of it, or as against it.
Two weeks ago Gingrich and Co. were screaming for a “no-fly” zone.
Now they are screaming because there is one.

Actually, I was, and proud of it. BTW, it’s not like I have ever heard that one before. Now as to why our human intelligence specialties are in such dire straits, that is a posting I gave a while ago, but as someone who was in that line of work, suffice it say that we lost to signals and satellites. Our politicians thought we could do it all with Mickey Mouse ears and Satellites, go figure.

Politics is overruling good sense and as we have seen that never ends well, I don’t care which letter is behind the person’s name. Yet again, we have a president who wants to score points at the cost of our men and women and at the cost of those we kill. Give the military a clear objective and they will do it, our President has not done this. We are about to deploy AC-130 Gunships, that’s a beautiful ground attack weapon, (unless you are on the business end) but you don’t put it up until you rule the air, they are not that great against SAMS, so we have went from “No Fly” to “Ground Suppression” without missing a beat. What is next?

I frankly could give two shits about what Newt is saying, what’s the mission, what’s the strategy for victory, is there a point of victory or are we going to be mired in a third war, kinetic action or whatever you want to spin it as. Our men and women are in harms way and they deserve to know why, unless this has become a dictatorship and no one gave us the news. Instead, we have been getting a different story out of each department and at least two or three different stories out of our President. We fought that war already, it was called Vietnam. But then again, that war was also more about politics than mission. We know how that one ended.

There is no evidence that Obama is getting anyone killed to score political points. We have entered into treaties and alliances we are required, if our word means anything, to uphold.
As a military personnel, I am sure you were taught to follow the chain of command, to obey lawful orders. Until he ran for President, Eisenhower never registered to vote. He felt a military man should not question or involve himself in politics.
I hope you don’t but the right wing meme that Obama should be announcing what actions the military will take and when. We have people like Geraldo to do that.
To date, Obama has explained our involvement through the UN and through NATO, and at the request of the Arab League and the League of African Nations.
There is close air support going on, according to the video coming back today. There is no reporting that it is US airpower doing it.
BTW, I’ve seen the AC130. I saw it’s grandfather, a/k/a “Puff the Magic Dragon”, on a base in NW Fla. in the 60′s. The guys flying them called them “Slow Death”.

“I hope you don’t buy….”
Apologies for poor proofreading.

“There is no reporting that it is US airpower doing it.”

You also believed Obama wrote his own book, too.

You also believed Obama when he said that Ayers was “just someone from his neighborhood.”

I think Obama wants Gadaffi out so he can get the Muslim Brothers n. The rebels have some Al Qaeda in so it’s really unclear why we are there. Plus, the humanitarian issue is suspect when you think about how other countries have much larger humanitarian issues.

When the “no-fly” zone went into effect, refugees stopped fleeing from Libya to Egypt, and began returning home. That eased the burden on Egypt as they try to redefine their own country.
And, truthfully, Alz, no one in their right mind gives a crap what you think, or that you do.

Alz, the muslim brotherhood are already picking out carpet and curtains.

Because Qadhafi wreaked havoc on America’s political conscience.

No where in the US Constitution does the executive branch have the power to ignore the legislative branch simply because there is an international “consensus.” Additionally, the US Constitution does not require that the legislative branch or executive branch get international approval for anything. In the USA, the supreme law of the land is the US Constitution.

Of course, and as a former officer I also know the “unwritten rule” that you never criticize the C in C in public, which I followed to the letter. It has only been in the past year or so that I have been “on record” in my criticisms. Anyone who thinks any of your posts go away needs to disabuse themselves of that right now. Even now, I think very carefully on what I say when it strays into questionable areas. My criticism in areas like warfare are not politically based, if Bush had pulled this stunt, I would be asking the same questions. I trust no one based on ideology, especially those who hold power. I come by my paranoia honestly, I was trained. You see, I still have friends that could find themselves in this new “Kinetic Military Action” and they could be some of those “shadow boots” on the ground, although I cannot confirm that.

However, when an administration has to twist itself into a pretzel to avoid terms like war and military action so it can do damage control with it’s anti-war supporters, it begins to smell like politics to me. When the people who called for George Bush’s head (Joe Biden, hello, crickets chirping) are supporting this war, bullets flying and people dying its a war, then it is politics. Obama is on record saying he was opposed to the very action he authorized. Now, I can tell you the world changes when you get your first no bullshit classified briefing and until you get one of those you can afford to be naive, like the President, I no longer have that luxury. But, as he has fumbled in the past because he is a staunch ideolog, he is doing it again. While Von Clauswitch stated, “War is not an independent phenomenon, but the continuation of politics by different means.”, I am pretty sure Von expected better leadership to make that happen.

Can you imagine the shit storm that would have exploded on the left if there was an (R) behind Obama’s.name? If he had gone to Rio as he sent in our forces and had taken ten days to talk to the American people the left would be screaming for impeachment. Hell, I bet that Spotted Al would be out screaming that Obama was a traitor and was lying to the American People and you can bet Pelosi would have started the impeachment proceeds by day three of the operation. That’s politics in America today, pathetic.

You see, it is the hypocrisy I hate, and this callow and shallow approach to using our troops are going to get good men and women dead. Wanna bet that three months from now we will still be there? Hope I am wrong, but once battle is joined she is a hard bitch to shake.

I am truly beginning to feel sorry for O-Bomb-A.

I could almost feel sorry for him, and I do feel for our country. Obama is simply the logical outcome of a completely partisan philosophy. He and his advisers have set their politics above the good of the country. In fact, if his administration is in the back pocket of George Soro’s as it seems to be, then this administration is more interested in meeting his needs for an “Open Society” rather than acting in the interests of the United States, then Obama and his people may be into the “high crimes and misdemeanors” zone. That makes me sad, because he is dragging the office of the President right into the crapper, more so than Richard Nixon ever did.

Allow me two examples. Our President and his Secretary of the Interior are currently in contempt of court over the moritium on drilling in the gulf. Salazar has told the judge to go frak himself not one, but twice. This criminal should be in a little cell with a guy named “Paul the Pounder” for contempt of court. I guarentee you if it was you or me, we would be someone’s bitch by now.

We have lost half of our mobile rigs, the gulf oil industry is on the ropes and we are about to pay five dollars a gallon at the pump. Meanwhile we think it’s cool for the rest of the world to drill the gulf, because they are not our evil oil barons. Now I know that north eastern train riding crowd does not care about that, but watch those food prices, after all the food has got to come by diesel, not by matter transporter. Who is hit the hardest by rising gas and food prices, the poor, so much for that Democrat compassion for our poor. After all, in the minds of many in this administration, we deserve to die in squalor for our sins, as long as El Presidente and his friends are taken care of.

But, take heart, El Presidente does believe in drilling, as long as it is Brazil who does it. We will be their best customers, really? How about our resources and our jobs. Obama’s answer: frak the peasants because we desrve to be driven to the level of a third world bananna republic. If any of you want live in a third world hut, as the old saying goes, Delta is ready when you are. Don’t drag me into your guilt ridden utopia.

Well the internet is a bitch for those who wish to remain hidden. Guess who had major holdings in Brazil’s Government Controlled oil company, that would be George “Open Society” Sorros. When he was found out, Sorros dumped his shares fast, but do you think he is done with Petrobras, not even close. He will bide his time and then re-invest, that’s just good business sense. Do you know that several countries would love to put a bullet in this man’s head if he ever gets within their reach. Ask the British how they feel about have the Pound Sterling destroyed by this foul creature. So as much Dems screamed about Halliburton, not without cause I might add, I wonder where all of you are when this borderline megalomaniac with delusion of godhood tries to take this country down.

And now, Media Matters has announced that they will violate their 503C status in order to actively try destroy Fox and everyone that works there They want to use terror to shut up their opposition and blackmail anyone that they can co-opt. They are political terrorists and should be dealt with accordingly. Will they be perp walked for violating their tax status, much less engaging in text book terrorism? I think a snowball in hell has a better chance. After all, William Holder record shows that he is a hard line partisan as well, in fact he may actually have his people help Media Matters do the deed. After all he did push President Clinton to pardon a whole swath of proven terrorist as Clinton went out office. Welcome to the “Chicago Way”.

I am truly saddened that this President and his people do what they do. It seems that the fundamental transformation they want is to destroy their opposition while serving the whims of their masters. Remember it was a former administration official who thinks that the mass murdering Mao is the equivalent to Mother Terresa. Another believes that power only comes from the barrel of the gun. Nixon was a piker compared to these people.

The question of whether Obimbo should have used military action in Libya is NOT the question! The question is, did this Baffin have the legal authority to make that decision. When the Secretary of State is openly saying Libya did not attack us, nor, were they going to, the door to using “imminent danger” is shut! Why the hell isn’t Congress addressing this issue, and why are they not looking into impeachment hearings?

You would know the answer, Koppel, if you watched Beck.

He has the authority. Congress can stop the flow of money and do some other things. The Declaration of War is really an affirmation of support (that might trigger other actions) rather than permission.

This is why Presidents have done things for a long, long time.

OK morons, listen up!

GBR (whom the family lovingly refers to as “Goober-Brained Retard) put our son, BOMBSHELL JR. on a bus to Thule, Greenland. He told our boy there would be a kitten waiting for him when he got to Greenland, and you know how our son is ALWAYS asking everyone he meets to buy him a kitten.

Well, the kid is sort of dimwitted just like his ol’ man, and so I’m stepping in until we get him back to provide moral support for my ol’ man, and you’d danged well better NOT mess with me! Just know that I am GBR’s ol’ lady, and give me the respect I demand.

Ya gotta admit ol Qaddafi is a sexy hombre…woo!

I agree with much of what you’ve said. I learned the “oxymoron” joke from my father. He was Signal Corps. out of Ft. Meade, Md. if that helps you understand. I’ve distrusted the word out of DC since 1957, when my father said we were going to war in Southeast Asia, in spite of what John Foster Dulles said.
Truman danced around the Constitution with a “Police Action”. Eisenhower played fast and loose in Lebanon, Iran, and most of Central America. Kennedy got bit with the Bay of Pigs, but had his eyes open in Viet Nam. Johnson didn’t want to lose a war, Nixon had a “secret plan”. From 1980 on, the sky was no limit.
There are times when our nation must do something.
There are times when we should not.
It is up to the people we elect to make those decisions, and to us to question them and their motives.
But we can’t have knee-jerk objection to everything a President does because we’re mad that he got elected.
That was true about Bush, as it is about Obama.
I think the problem in Iraq was that Bush told so many lies about why we were there that he just became a cartoon.
The problem in Libya is that another dictator has promised to go door to door killing any one who disagrees with him. This one is driving his own people across the border into Egypt, which is having it’s own birth pains right now.
If you can accept Granada, Panama, Beirut (and the bug-out), Desert Storm, and Somalia, then maybe you should give Obama a chance to prove this is at least as valid an exercise as those were.
