Mission Accomplished? Obama Makes Case for Military Action in Libya

Don't you know? Obama is a 1 world government kind of guy. He waited until the Union said Go. And then he went. The USA will be submissive to the larger world powers, not the leader. Libya did not attack us, but now we are there protecting the rebels? If the rebels want protection then stop rebelling! Obama despised Bush for defending our nation unilaterally or even with the consent of our allies. Now Obama is willing to commit our military to this action when we were not attacked? So it seems he is more concerned with the World Union than thinking about America's security. The World Government is another reason why I think the Obama Administration is spending the dollar so far into debt that all paper money will soon be abolished. And it's then when no one will buy or sell anything without a mark in their right hand or forehand. And it���s then when Globalism really takes hold and it's then when America has very little to say. Presently, Obama is just appeasing the crowds by saying ���it���s in our national interest���. That���s a lie. But it IS in the "global interest" that Gaddafi be removed, so that we can have a working unison world government. Also note, who is foot the bill for this military excercise in Libya? You and me? haha

Impeach.

"Ghadaffi must go" "Our mission is NOT to affect regime change". It is Humanitarian -"If we had not acted there would have been hundreds of thousands of civilians slaughtered" ( Secretary CLINTON)
"Lybia poses no imminent threat to and is not in our vital interests".( Secretary Gates ). But - France and England are Neighbors to Lybia and it is in their vital interest and therefore sort of "in our interest " also.( Secretary Clinton.) We are turning over Command and Control to NATO.An American general is in charge of combat for NATO and a Canadian is the supreme commander of NATO. Without a strong U.S. presence in all of this Nato will fail. Germany is out already, Italy and Spain are reluctant participants, The Arab league has backed down with only a few planes from Quatar.
All the talk about Ghadaffi being a murderer, a supporter of terrorists, he murdered many Americans on the Pan Am flight and some U.S. serviceman in a german nightclub --That has been known for years. A month or so ago our State Department ( Secretary Clinton ) gave 400,000 dollars to Ghadaffi's son's foundation. And our country is giving millions to Ghadaffi in Foreign Aid ( By this administration and by the Bush administration). Obama should have done one of two things -- We should have stayed out of this ( as did Russia and China ) or we should have said we are in this to stop a bloodbath of civilians AND get rid of Ghadaffi. 85% of Lybia's oil goes to Europe. Do you suppose thats why England and France dragged Obama along to the United Nations where Obama consulted with that that body more than he did our own Lawmakers and accepted the mission laid down by the United Nations? One world Order?
Who are the opposition that we are aiding in this war by giving close air support to--Knocking out Ghadaffi's tanks, artillery, and killing Ghadaffi soldiers.Do you suppose that all those tomahawk missiles (190 or more) we lobbed into Lybia caused some collateral damage- killing civilians? Has it all been mishandled? I believe it has. President Obama sits behind that desk that has a sign that reads " The Buck Stops Here "

Libya and Iraq AND Afghanistan all are TRIBAL countries, foreign to the united freedom democracy gives. They do not comprehend the all for one theme; they are tribal--meaning, they hate each other if they belong to rival tribes. Look at the weapons given to Iraqi police used to decimate rival villages instead of maintain the peace! We have to STOP interfering in governments that are so scattered that only a dictator can CONTROL all the different factions. I hope we will NOT repeat the lessons in Iraq and Afghanistan, but it seems we are still trying to force people into democracy who have no idea what it is--and are not ready for it. We must come to terms with the fact that not all the world is READY for democracy! I have 3 tours to Iraq--I KNOW.

Amazing how all these reporters and experts still lack the ability to point out the most obvious and conflicting fact. There are MILLIONS of LIBYAN CIVILIANS WHO SUPPORT Ghadaffi! This so called "slaughter" we prevented is completely questionable.

It's clear we went there to support rebel COMBATANTS who were heavily armed, and we're using the term "civilian" to justify our offensive Can just one of these journalist or experts please address this!

President Obama does not do what he says. He says one thing then does another. Before his speech, he already flip-flopped at least three times. More importantly he has not answered the most important questions such as: Who are the rebels that he is aiding? Are any actually Al-Qaeda, or representing Iran? Why is this important...because Al-Qaeda #1 goal), is to bankrupt and Defeat the U.S. and Iran's #1 goal) is to remove every Muslim leader of an Arab country who is or has been working with the Western Democracies.
Thus could we be cutting off our own feet?

Who ARE the "rebels"? Is it just a coincidence that the countries from Tunisia to Yemen surround Saudi Arabia and Israel? What will the government be? In Egypt the "rebels" are looting, raping and murdering anyone who doesn't agree with them; is this what are sense of values support? Many are "employed" by the U.S., especially the CIA, but few seem to "work" and do their jobs.

Thank you Mr. President for offering such transparent reasons for the same old "snatch and grab." More thoughtful reasons would have led to confusion as to the real purpose of "our" mission.

I heard Obama say we had no plans to send ground troops into Libya. I like in poedunk Idaho and I heard yesterday that troops from Camp LeJeune are being deployed to Libya. Go Figure.

Yeah Obama..you're not concerned with the massacres taking place in Yemen, Saudi Arabia or Bahrain, because those despots are your 'allies.'

We're not buying into your lies Obama..you're a fraud. If Lybia's primary natural resource was cabbage, would we be there?

Change we can really believe in!

Until a real leader leads the movements or revolution of faith/cause of freedom and democracy in Lybia, the Lybia war is a tribal war between fractions or civil war in which galdafi fraction against rebels fractions,the rebels are not unified,therefore they can't make headways into Tripoli . If you want a western influence dmocracy and freedom Lybia to emerge,sustain and survive, you need a real leader and a real movement of democracy and freedom. The lession of Egypt uprising exhibits the revolution fruit belongs not to the people but temporal military power. Any outside help for the Lybia rebel fractions will bring another generation of tribal leader to control Lybia .

back in the day: 1776, the United states colonists had had no training in democracy. It's all DIY, dont you know.

it's all b.s.

Our pathetic, psychopathic Narcisist-in-Chief was bound and determined NOT TO WASTE an aooprtunity to push the New World Order as a form of government.

Hitlery Clinton was also enthusiastic to create her own war, as well.

I think the Tomahawk missiles have expiration date. If they don't find ways to use them, they would be going to the scrap yard. Or if they don't use them, they can't justify the budget allocation. Or the missile manufacturers can't make a sale.

Consider that Obama has three courses of (in)action:

1) Blame "The Previous Administration"
2) Blame Hillary
3) Blame BOTH Bush -AND- Hillary

..... and just watch the "bobblehead sheep" go right along for the ride because they're so @#$% STUPID!

how many of Obamas family members will be there fighting???????
.
.
.a Big....ZERO

tokens dont fight!

There is always a reason! WMDs that don't exist! Free Kuwait which we never cared about. Stop Vietnam from going communist BTW we never cared about them either and they went communist anyway after 50,000 dead and billions of dollars, make the world safe for democracy and what do we deliver to the world?! Hitler - Stalin - Tojo and Mussilini! You are certified idiots if you believe this tripe.

"The United States simply will not tolerate self aggrandizing despots who place their personal interests in front of the citizens which they serve. The world shall take notice that the United States military shall bomb any corrupt and incompetent leader who chooses to oppress his people." - BHO 3/29/11.

Ten minutes later three tomahawk missiles hit the White House.

Why not reimburse the American Taxpayers for the money spent on almost 200 Tomahawk
missiles at a million plus dollars each, and the thirty million plus lost on a crashed F-15 aircraft,
Throw in enough for overhead expenses and maybe ten percent profit. Take the money from the frozen assets of the Lybian dictator and or the Lybian government. If all we can export anymore is our jobs and war; we might as well make some money. It worked for the Vikings.
