Barack Obama who ran on a platform of ending his predecessor's wars has
apparently decided he wants his own war. As candidate Obama, he felt
Congress should have a role in such decisions. As President O'Bomber,
he thinks he can ignore Congress.
Like his predecessors O'Bomber is starting out with a bombing
campaign.
He hasn't said whether he will send Marines back to the shores
of Tripoli if the bombing campaign fails to cause a surrender.
Bombing didn't produce a surrender in Vietnam and Iraq. Muammar
Gaddafi doesn't seem
any more likely to relinquish power because of a bombing campaign than
Saddam Hussein was.
Barack O'Bomber claims he is acting because the Libyan government has
attacked those protesting the government, but Libya isn't the only
government to use violence to put down protests.
Syria has been
accused
of using violence against protectors. Will O'Bomber also
attack Syria? It would be easy considering we already have troops
in neighboring Iraq. They could be moved out of Iraq and into
Syria.
Will O'Bomber attack Iran which r
eportedly
has been putting down mass protests? He could use it
as an excuse to take out Iran's nuclear facilities. Prior to the
election O'Bomber said he considered Iran a
"tiny country" even though it's the
17th
most populous nation in the world with a population is 78% that
of
Nazi Germany, a country
which conquered Europe. from the Atlantic's to near
Moscow.
China has
killed protectors before. Does that mean the U.S.
should consider attacking China?
I'm worried that if Gaddafi does give in to the bombing campaign,
O'Bomber and the other Western Imperialists will think they can do the
same thing in any country with a form of government they disapprove
of. That is if they are really motivated by Gaddafi's
treatment of his subjects rather than his oil.
If NATO is really concerned about injustice, why didn't it
intervene in
Darfur?
If O'Bomber succeeds in destroying the Libyan military will he or
the Europeans spend years reestablishing order setting up a new
government? Or will they let it become a lawless country like Somalia"
The most disturbing aspect of O'Bomber's action is his failure to
consult Congress like Lyndon Johnson did before bombing North Vietnam
and George W. Bush did before bombing Saddam Hussein. Both of those
presidents took the lead in getting the U.S. involved in a war.
O'Bomber seems to be following the orders of the European governments
who get their oil from Libya.
Regardless of whether or not Barack Obama was born in Hawaii or not, he
was born a British subject because his father was a British subject.
Unless he formally renounced that citizenship he may still be a British
subject and may be following the orders of his Queen in determining how
to respond to Libya.
Those who like to protest America involvement in foreign wars need to
start protesting now instead of waiting until the Marines land in
Tripoli.
