The White House suggested Tuesday the mission in Libya is one of regime change, despite emphatic statements from President Obama and military brass that the goal is not to remove Moammar Gadhafi from power.

According to a White House readout of a Monday night call between Obama and Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the two leaders "underscored their shared commitment to the goal of helping provide the Libyan people an opportunity to transform their country, by installing a democratic system that respects the people’s will."

If we’re going to topple all these foreign regimes, which we arguably should not be doing, and set up new governments, I wish the morons in charge would set up constitutional republics mirroring our own, rather than the much misunderstood democracy.

On the other hand, it seems you have to be an American to understand it, and many Americans do not.

WH is propping up rebels from estern Libyan tribes who want Caliphate with Western help, not Western-style democracy.

Did anyone catch the Judge on Studio B? I was on the phone when he came on. What did he say? Constitutional, unconstitutional? War, police action, humanitarian mission?

Would the Daffy swallow his enormous ego and accept a restructuring a la Japan without being forced out of his seat?

And why would Obama pursue an undertaking of this magnitude without calling it a war, which means something only Congress can okay? Where the crap is Obama getting the funds for his ships of hope and change from anyhow? The US has become a banana republic without even bananas to show for it.

Well since we can always expect the exact opposite of what Obamba ‘says’, then we can expect Islamic Sharia there.

Its priorities. The global caliphate is more important. Then they will impose democracy on the US.
