Obama: Libyan mission 'succeeding'
Politico44 ^ | 03/26/11 | POLITICO STAFF

Posted on 03/26/2011 2:06:20 PM PDT by ColdOne

President Obama used his weekly radio address to discuss U.S. participation in enforcing a no-fly zone over Libya. Stressing the stressed the limited nature of the U.S. commitment the “clear and focused” goals defining it, Obama still defended the need for American intervention:

“The United States should not—and cannot—intervene every time there is a crisis somewhere in the world. But I firmly believe that when innocent people are being brutalized; when someone like Qaddafi threatens a bloodbath that could destabilize an entire region; and when the international community is prepared to come together to save many thousands of lives—then it’s in our national interest to act.”

I guess when you are building a Caliphate and it appears to be coming into existance you would classify this as a success.

We see Egypt now moving to an theocratic lead rule and we see AQ joining the rebels.

Guess we really do see Obama succeeding building a muslim world.

Let us all hope Obama comes down with lung cancer soon.

But of course when Iranian citizens are threatened or when the people of Dafur are being chopped with machetes and when North Koreans are being starved and shot, that is ok because there is no muslim brotherhood waiting to turn those countries into Islamic hell holes.

There's a risk of failure inherent in every kinetic military operation. In this case, there's also a risk of success. There's a diminishing risk of a good outcome.

Easy to say when we don’t have a clue as to what it means.

He means “succeeding” in the Cloward-Piven sense of the word.

Obama - "But I firmly believe that when innocent people are being brutalized; when someone like Qaddafi threatens a bloodbath that could destabilize an entire region; and when the international community is prepared to come together to save many thousands of lives—then it’s in our national interest to act.”

GLOBAL CENTRE FOR THE RESPONSIBILITY TO PROTECT (GCRP)

Where do we go next? "In early 2011, GCRP identified 10 locations around the world as regions of major concern: Democratic Republic of the Congo, Guinea, Kenya, Kyrgyzstan, Libya, Burma/Myanmar, Nigeria, Sri Lanka, Sudan, and the Ivory Coast." Nope, next stop Israel? . .

Exciting isn’t it!!

It sounds like he’s going to take care of our border with Mexico and deal with the illegal aliens.

Finally, a president that cares about our security and those poor 30,000 folks that have been butchered near our border. Including the murdered Americans!!

I am so damn happy!

He loves us White folks again! Sanity has finally returned and it took a great man like Obama to bring it back.

We love you Obama!!!! YES WE CAN, YES WE DO, CHANGE, CHANGE, CHANGE...

Oops, I think I’m going to faint again.....
