In what might be called the Obama Doctrine, but won't be because it isn't one and we were leading from behind anyway, the nation's top community organizer has helped NATO reorganize another bad guy from the world scene.
Thirty-one weeks after Nobel Peace Prize winner Obama promised that the Libyan military operation would last "days not weeks," Muammar Gadhafi is dead, along with hundreds of fighters and civilians on both sides. The dictator lasted through 42 years of international insoucance, ever since Obama was a sixth grader.
But near the beginning of the Arab Spring earlier this year Gadhafi made the threat that he was going to kill every opponent in sight in his country's then new rebellion.
On the way to South America with his extended family, Obama appointed himself caretaker, said the mere threat of such slaughter made it in the United States' national interest to prevent such a humanitarian disaster.
He joined allies attacking the regime's military installations and gear to give the ragtag rebellion a chance. And much later he got around to telling Congress he'd launched military operations that, despite all the explosions and deaths, he wasn't calling a war.
Nevermind that countless other black-hat regimes around the world have already gone way beyond threatening to kill large numbers of their civlians. Can you say Syria? Sudan? North Korea? Iran? The Obama administration instead invited Iran's diplomats to U.S. embassy July 4th parties around the world. That kind of outreach has not worked as well as Tomahawks.

Not al Megrahi, I’ll bet.....
Tea Party people. If he could ever figure out who is in charge of that group.
I thought liberals were against the death penalty.
I heard the really tortured the hell out of Daffy before they wacked him. First they shot him in the leg and gut, then cut him up, then dragged him by a truck, then forced him to listen to Hlllarys “I’m sick and tired” speech, then made him watch a Michael Bay movie, then made him wear mens clothes-that weren’t color coordinated by God, then made him read a book by Keith Olberman...Have you ever seen such cruelty?
Assad is next and after that the guy from Jordan.
Somalia is next on his list I bet.
Thanks to Obama, Qadaffy and the US economy are both equally dead.
These Democrats are like a bunch of mad sharks when they smell blood. But most of them are against the death penalty?

Wondering if they would do the same here to Obama
Please let it be Al-Assad.
I vote for Chavez. Though he misfired with Castro.
Which one gives Soros a chance to make money from their death?
That’s the next one.

On another topic....it seems these Lybian militia were dedicated to their cause..up to and including risking their lives, fighting, and some dying. I have no doubt if obama had been a citizen of Lybia he would have been huddling in tall weeds, waiting for the smoke to clear and for him to test the wind direction before declaring his position.
Not unless they've got lots of oil that can be commandeered, Billions and billions in gold that can be , as Ghadaffi's now is - "now unaccounted for" and the country turned over to al Queada (Libya) or the Muslim Brotherhood (Egypt.)
This had NOTHING to do with 'removing a brutal dictator' that was going to slaughter civilians. Everyone buried, successfully, the fact that these 'civilians' he was going to shoot on sight were al Queada prisoners who had escaped from jail, commandeered a police station and a large cache of weapons and were on the rampage.
People have also buried the fact that Ghadaffi hated the al Queada and had been capturing, imprisoning and turning them over to us.
They are also no ignoring that the 'new regime' has been, will be, slaughtering the black Africans that were living in Libya and whom Ghadaffi had under his protection. Many fled the country in the early days of the illegal invasion - but many have been killed.
But lets not bother with these little inconvenient facts. AFter all, Libya now has a new 'civilized' government. WAtch the videos. Real civilized.
