Thomas Sowell: Libya just one of Obama’s deceptions

It was a little much when President Barack Obama said he was “offended” by the suggestion that his administration would try to deceive the public about what happened in Benghazi, Libya. What has this man not deceived the public about?

Remember his pledge to cut the deficit in half in his first term in office? This was followed by the first trillion-dollar deficit ever, under any president of the United States — followed by trillion-dollar deficits in every year of the Obama administration.

Remember his pledge to have a “transparent” government that would post its legislative proposals on the Internet several days before Congress was to vote on them, so that everybody would know what was happening? This was followed by an Obamacare bill so huge and passed so fast that even members of Congress did not have time to read it...

The word I've heard on the street is that what the Obama regime was doing in Libya was moving military weapons to the rebels in Syria. In effect, just another Fast & Furious, except instead of arming the Mexican drug cartels with civilian semi-autos, he's arming Al-Queda with military weapons, like ManPads and SAM-7s.

Sure would be bad for Obama's campaign if it came out before the election that while Obama killed Bin Laden, he's arming Al Zwahiri, and making for Al-Queda v2.0, as well as a muslim caliphate and hopefully the destruction of Israel. Remember, Syria has quite a nifty nuclear weapons program that's close, or at least it was until Israel destroyed the site a couple of years ago. A nuclear armed Syria, run by Al-Queda, is something Obama could love, since he's had to fake his opposition to Iranian nukes.

Interesting! I would not be able to find it but it's posted on Free Republic where during the so called "No Fly Zone Enforcement" I referred to it as the Fast & Furious of the Middle East.

Then, taking away the weapons from Al Qaeda in Afghanistan and Iraq and giving weapons to Al Qaeda in Libya.

I think you're right.

I wish I could find that comment of mine.

My question to Dr. Sowell is why are half of this Nation’s voters so eager to be deceived?
