Unreal… Team Obama Leaves Americans Stranded in Libya; Military STILL on Standby



Posted by Jim Hoft on Thursday, February 24, 2011, 5:07 PM

The Obama Administration won’t send the military to rescue US citizens in Libya.
They don’t want to look like war-mongers.

Stranded: An estimated 600 U.S. citizens are stuck on board the Maria Dolores (pictured) in Tripoli, and won’t leave until at least Friday (Daily Mail)

The Obama Administration is STILL grappling with whether or not to send the military into Libya to rescue US citizens.
CNN reported, via HotAir:

The senior U.S. official also said the “prudent planning” for military options centers around the president’s priorities of...blah,blah..

May God Bless You and your daughter and granddaughter and may he keep them safe.

With such a small bitter man-child occupying the White House, we will all have to say our prayers often in the days to come, that’s for sure.

It's a huge scandal in Britain that it took until Thursday to get their people out. Ours aren't out yet. Scandal? or crickets from the ever-compliant American media.

This is what we build aircraft carriers for. We should have had a Nimitz class deck on duty in the Gulf of Sidra a week ago.

If they sink this ship, and lots of Americans get killed, it’s OVER for Obama and his presidency. I really don’t think even he would be that stupid.

“or crickets from the ever-compliant American media”

The vast, VAST majority of Americans know nothing about this. It doesn’t fit the “Obama IS GOD!” narrative, so it is not being reported in most places.

“The entire sixth fleet is available.”

An AP Article from Feb 12 or so said we only had 7 Ships in the entire Med, including the Mount Whitney, and the rest of 6th fleet are in the Gulf or the Indian Ocean.

If the ferry MARIA DOLORES were to be sunk by Libya, WOULD the U.S. lapdog MSM report it? Or, would they try to spin is so that all the dead Americans had brought it on themselves? Remember the MSM must save Obozo because they conspired to elect this POS.

Some within HIS administration have to have enough sense to coach him on certain things that could be for the good of even this country he hates so damned much.

0bambi being schooled by advisers (old bald white guys) on how to flip a coin for high level decision functions.

You have to realize a mass evacuation takes a lot of (community) organization. You can’t expect the USA to be as efficient as Italy, Romania, Greece, Turkey, India, China, Malaysia, or Indonesia.

"I really don’t think even he would be that stupid."

Cordially suggest that you re-think that one.

MSM aside,I have never seen evidence by word or deed that this president is as brilliant as so heavily advertised.

LOL, thats why the media has to constantly beat the ‘Barry is so much brighter than us mere mortals’ drum. Said another way its propaganda to keep his (undeserved) image shined. In fact EEO has moved him to place so far removed from his natural abilities/talents (and he’s not a quick study) that the only alternative is catastrophic failure. The media and operative tards are doing their best to prop him up but at some point it won’t be possible and the charade will end in calamity. I suspect it’ll happen at the least opportune time for the country. Anyone who things this guy isn’t a babbled imbecile is willfully blind and deaf.

I absolutely believe it will happen. but then what?

What will they say? I don’t know, probably more of the same. More importantly is what will people believe. After all the MSM is mostly a propaganda tool than news outlet. The music stops when the propaganda is no longer believable.

Yes, Im sure the RHs will try to hurt us on our own ground. However, the republicans are as much to blame for that as the tards. The MSM will report that in spades. What will happen? Who knows but you can be sure it’ll look a lot like martial law. The govts MO is to move from one failure to the next.

Thanks for the headsup, piasa.
