Qadhafi death 'victory' for Obama
Politico44 ^ | 10/20/11 | MJ LEE

Posted on 10/20/2011 9:14:14 AM PDT by ColdOne

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) hailed the reported death of Muammar Qadhafi as a “victory” for President Obama.

“This is a victory for the president, the Obama administration but most importantly” for the Libyan people, McCain said on Fox News Thursday morning.

At the time that the senator make these remarks, the White House had not yet confirmed reports of the former Libyan ruler’s death.

McCain said he believed “there’s very little doubt” that Qadhafi had been killed.

In a statement released earlier in the day, the Arizona senator said Qadhafi’s death “marks an end to the first phase of the Libyan revolution” but didn’t mention the president or the Obama administration. Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) was another Republican senator to offer credit to the Obama administration.

“Ignoring the rule of law, Acting like a war monger. Telling Congress he doesn`t need their approval or the War Powers Act.”

Democrats don’ NEED no stinkin’ Constitution, silly. They consider it a “Flawed Document”, remember?

That’s true. I’m guessing the rebel forces.

Which will be as bad as Gadaffi was.

And soon - new insurgents will rise up to challenge the new leaders. Blood will flow, heads will be lopped off and blah blah blah.

I fully understand McCain's delight in a "victory" for Obama and the Libyan people,.........and a victory for Islamic terrorist fundamentalism, the Muslim Brotherhood, tyranny, socialism, communism, Ho, Mao, and all things anti American.

What an utter piece of garbage he is.

What did the 0bama Admin do...sit back and watch.

Not true. Obama has been very busy meddling in the affairs of other countries and getting rid of all the leaders who have suppressed the Muslim Brotherhood.

Thanks to Obama we will now have the Muslim Brotherhood in power and sharia law in all those countries. He saw what happened in Iran and systematically has been destabilizing the middle east.

My point is still valid:

The history of Jews in Libya stretches back 2,300 years, but about 40 years ago, former dictator Muammar Qaddafi kicked them all out, and demonized Israel and Judaism to further his populist support.

The legacy of that policy apparently is stronger than most Libyans’ hatred for Qaddafi’s ways, as an exiled Libyan Jew who helped the rebels overthrow Qaddafi has been forced to leave the country again after an angry mob demanded it.

The thousands of professionals brought in to give the rag tags a backbone. If they do not get paid.

Dear AZ,

Thanks for keeping this vain, egotist in our faces . . . . .

He has morphed into the current version of Teddy Chappaquiddick or Robert KKK Byrd.

So I'm sitting in the Atlanta airport with a 3-hour layover between flights, log into FR and see reports of Moammar's death, and immediately think to myself, "Just watch how the media will be hyping this up as a great victory for Obama and his great wisdom in ordering what they will call a correct and brilliant idea for limited engagement of troops, or something like that."

And then I think, "How long before John McCain gives OBama a pat on the back about this?"

Then -- no kidding -- within a a couple of minutes what do I hear faintly on the airport CNN monitor across the waiting area? John McCain's voice. I turn around and look to be sure, and sure enough, it's him.

I can't hear clearly what he's saying, but I already know in my heart what he's saying. Then an hour later I see this article. So, so, so, so, so, so predictable. I honestly wonder if McCain has any clue why he lost? (no reason to fear OBama, etc). GAG!

It pains me to say this - but the Obama Whitehouse handled this whole Libyan/Quadafi fiasco pretty well.

They didn’t commit US forces in Libya. They let the goofs at NATO handle it. They actually didn’t screw up an already bad situation.

Yep, more and better weapons, tons of gold and oil revenue in the hands of the Muslim Brotherhood/al Queda and friends is definitely the way to go.
