AP Fact Check Destroys Obama's Libya Speech
FoxNation.com ^ | March 28 | Staff

Posted on 03/28/2011 6:52:29 PM PDT by JesseWatters

There may be less than meets the eye to President Barack Obama's statements Monday night that NATO is taking over from the U.S. in Libya and that U.S. action is limited to defending people under attack there by Moammar Gadhafi's forces. In transferring command and control to NATO, the U.S. is turning the reins over to an organization dominated by the U.S., both militarily and politically. In essence, the U.S. runs the show that is taking over running the show. And the rapid advance of rebels in recent days strongly suggests they are not merely benefiting from military aid in a defensive crouch, but rather using the multinational force in some fashion - coordinated or not - to advance an offensive. Here is a look at some of Obama's assertions in his address to the nation Monday, and how they compare with the facts:

I found his fake emotionalism thoroughly sickening and transparent as hell.

If you have read about the planned Palestinian uprising in Israel, you can see where this is going. When Israel starts bombing the sh@t out of the Palestinians, guess who will be considered worthy of “humanitarian aid”, and a a “no fly zone” by Obama and the UN?

“his “war” or whatever the hell Obama wants to call it “

Its not a war. Its a kinetic military action. Constitution says nothing about kinetic military actions, see?

“I am convinced that a failure to act in Libya would have carried a far greater price for America.”

I’d like to know what exactly he meant by that. He’s always so vague.

I don’t buy that “KMA” foolishness unlike some here do. Like I said, whatever the hell he wants to call it, it’s unconstitutional. It’s past time to kid around. There are lives at stake. Obama’s reckless Libyan policy could get more Americans captured or killed.

“Obama’s reckless Libyan policy could get more Americans captured or killed.”

Hear, hear. Why did we blow $600 million last week helping the Muslim brotherhood take over Libya?

Despite insistences that the operation is only to protect civilians, the airstrikes now are undeniably helping the rebels to advance.

One of the first air mission of the war was a nifty peace of close air support by the French.

That is unconstitutional is a given. So is any number of things the sob has done.

The question is, who will stop him and up to this point in time the answer is no one. And as much as it hurts to say it, I don't see that changing.

I have heard the standard, "We got guns". "Wait until 2012". The 2010 elections have come and gone and other that some talking, nothing has been accomplished. The Establishment Republicans are fighting the Tea Party Republicans tooth and toenail. The Tea Party Rpublicans are trying , but, they are having to fight a stacked deck of other Republicans, Democrats, and the main stream media.

Again, who is going to stop the sob the next time he does something that is unconstitutional?
