7 Questions For Liberals About Obama's Libyan War
Townhall.com ^ | March 22, 2011 | John Hawkins

Posted on 03/22/2011 3:27:38 AM PDT by Scanian

It seems like it was just yesterday when we had an "imperialist warmonger" in the White House who was going to be replaced by a peace-loving Democrat who promised "hope" and "change" instead. It's funny how that worked out, isn't it? We still have troops in Iraq, we've escalated the war in Afghanistan, and now we're bombing everything that moves in Libya. Yet, the same liberals who were protesting in the streets and calling George Bush a war criminal have mostly been meek and quiet about the fact that the President they supported has been following in George Bush's footsteps.

So, the obvious question is, “Did you lefties believe ANY of the crap you were spewing about the war on terrorism before Obama got into office?” If so, maybe you could answer a few questions prompted by the things liberals were saying during the Bush years.

1) Isn't this is a rush to war? There were 17 UN resolutions regarding Iraq, Bush talked about going to war for a full year before we actually invaded, and he received Congressional approval first. After all that, liberals STILL shouted that it was a "rush to war." Meanwhile, Obama decided to bomb Libya in between making his Final Four picks and planning out a vacation to Brazil, probably because Hillary yelled at him. How about applying the same standards to Obama that you applied to Bush?

2) Is Obama invading Libya because Gaddafi insulted him? Liberals claimed George Bush invaded Iraq because Saddam tried to assassinate his father. Using that same line of thinking, could the notoriously thin-skinned Obama be bombing Libya because he's still angry that Gaddafi once said this about him?

I suspect the European collation was going to act without the US....and this worried the administration about their “leadership” role in the world. If they weren’t involved...they were sitting on the sidelines and be listening to talk-show hosts mention it forty times an hour.

We fear that Obama will feel that, because he is black with an inferiority complex, this will make him behave worse than the whites. This will be a tragedy. We tell him to be proud of himself as a black and feel that all Africa is behind him because if he sticks to this inferiority complex he will have a worse foreign policy than the whites had in the past.

Crazy old Col. Qaddafi was right about that wasn't he?

Something curious here is that qadaffi is a big buddy of farakahn and rev wright, obama’s preacher of 20 years. And now obama is turning on qadaffi and minister farakahn is some kind of p o’d.
What happened to rewarding his friends and punishing his enemies?

Do you mean to say people are hypocrites? Perish the thought. (Can’t wait for a Republican President, when profligate spending won’t be a problem anymore.)

Crazy like a fox, that one.

You don’t survive 42 years in the Mideast by being as deranged as everyone seems to think he is.

"Crazy old Col. Qaddafi was right about that wasn't he?"

He sure was. The only reason Barry does anything is if it threatens his personal self image. If Qaddafi had said that Barry was finally the perfect President Barry would be visiting him, praising him, and shipping him all the latest weapons.

Poor widdle Barry, the evil Colonel hurt his feelers. The bad man said something hurtful and uncivil about Barry. Now Barry has to get the adults involved because Colonel Q is a bully, and Michelle said to call an adult when a bully picks on you.

Regards

If we listen to what Obama says rather than watching what he does, we’ll all end up goofy.

Nothing he says is consistent in the least.

If you want to see the liberal take on all this, read the comments at the end of the article. A couple of liberals actually show up to defend obambam and deny liberal hypocrisy... and boy do they hate their boy being compared to W!!!

The French and the Arab League suckered Barry more than Qaddafi did. Qaddafi, in his own nutcake way, was trying to tell him to buck up and man up. I’m sure he was hoping he could manipulate 0bambi but he was also giving him some advice from an old hand at world politics. But a malignant narcissist can’t take advice much better than he can take an insult.

Wait until the dead Afghans story gets more legs.

Let’s see how the lefties go after him on that like they did Bush and his administration on Abu Ghraib.

Questions for liberals?

Sorry, I’ve found it to be a complete waste of time trying to reason with liberals.

They need deprogramming similar to followers of religious cults.
