The first time that the US going to war is none of the voters’ business.

We are waaay past the point where media should have started questioning Obie's motives instead of his judgment...

I don’t ever want a President whose motives for anything require THIS kind of tortuous, elaborate and Byzantine second guessing.

It serves NO ONE if the leader of the most powerful national entity in the known universe detaches himself from the legitimate and traditionally observed practices of centuries and pursues an individual and PERSONAL agenda!!!!!!!!!

This reminds me of an old saying which I hope Mr. Obama takes to heart. I have attempted to translate it from English to Obama-Newspeak so that he and his sycophants will have a better chance of understanding its meaning.

The best I could come up with is this:

"One man's Kinetic Military Action is another man's Man-Caused Disaster"

"Yet Obama has so far been reluctant to fully explain any of this to either Congress or the American public, perhaps because he realizes that the ideological basis of his actions would not be popular if openly admitted.

Yeah...and most everything he does....

Except for looking goofy

Col. Kurtz: Are my methods unsound?
Capt. Willard: I don’t see any method at all, sir.

Apocalypse Now

I think this editorial gives Premier Hussein far too much credit. I don’t think he’s smart enough about anything to have a meaningful plan to follow in Libya, or any of the many domestic troubles we have now.

I recall from just after his Immaculation, Premier Hussein said that all he intended to do was “provide the vision” of how things should be and that he would surround himself with people who would fill in the details of that vision.

You see the result of that philosophy in the ongoing debacle in Libya, the stubbornly high unemployment and the size of the debt, just to mention a few. There is no Leadership from the Regime, because Obama is incapable of leading. We all have known people who were likable and work hard but will always be followers because they are too incompetent to be a leader. That’s who’s sitting in the White House.

There is no spoon.

from The Rise of Samantha Power and the risks for the American- Israel relationship

--One more clue to Power being the promoter of the R2P concept within the Obama administration is her history. She opened a symposium put on the by the International Coalition for The Responsibility To Protect (ICR2P) as recently as November, 2010, with a keynote address

When a President acts criminally or against the interests of the American people it is up to our elected representatives to begin impeachment proceedings. Sadly for us we have no politicians with the courage or foresight to do so.Our Nation's sovereignty is in dire peril and they do nothing.

Beck pointed all this Stephanie Power stuff in great detail yesterday. But, of course, he’s a nut case, right?

My concern also is that in his hatred for Israel, Obama is motivated by a desire to unify the Arab world under islamism, theorizing that only disunity has thwarted the Arabs in their self-determination, i.e. annihilation of Israel.

The articles of a year or two ago about his abiding hatred of colonial states and their progeny also goes a long way toward explaining his long-term goals.

Obama’s purpose in going to war with Libya is to replace an insane Moslem despot who is contained with insane radical Moslem fanatics bent on world conquest.

His goal is the destruction of America and western civilization through his religion, Islam.

The firm establishment of the UN as a body with an autonomous “Responsibility to Protect” which will soon be cast as over riding the Security Council authority is a vile and dangerous maneuver.

Power as the wife of Cass Sunstien is totally bent on destroying US Sovereign power and that of Israel. It matters little how dumb or smart Obama is himself — the one world leftists have the rudder of our nation.

What Samantha Power and her supporters want is to solidify the principle of “responsibility to protect” in international law. That requires a “pure” case of intervention on humanitarian grounds.

That makes sense of this entire fiasco. And makes a mockery of the constitution.
