[blockquote]EVIDENCE IS now in that President Barack Obama grossly exaggerated the humanitarian threat to justify military action in Libya. The president claimed that intervention was necessary to prevent a “bloodbath’’ in Benghazi, Libya’s second-largest city and last rebel stronghold.
But Human Rights Watch has released data on Misurata, the next-biggest city in Libya and scene of protracted fighting, revealing that Moammar Khadafy is not deliberately massacring civilians but rather narrowly targeting the armed rebels who fight against his government.
Misurata’s population is roughly 400,000. In nearly two months of war, only 257 people — including combatants — have died there. Of the 949 wounded, only 22 — less than 3 percent — are women. If Khadafy were indiscriminately targeting civilians, women would comprise about half the casualties.::speechless:: :o ::speechless::

Apparently , there have been no DMDs ( Dictators of Mass Destruction ) found in Libya despite what Congress and the world was told by the Stymie Administration . ::mooning::

Obama lied, people died!

Holy cow! Obama lied?!!! No way!! This is stunning news. Really. Someone do a press release, fast!
Seriously, I can't believe that they gave GWB so much crap for so little and this sh*theel gets away with just about anything and everything you could possibly think of. I have to wonder if they sit around the WH and dream up new outrageous stuff to do, pushing the envelope, to see how far they can go before someone in the media will grow a spine and raise an objection.

Good luck with that.

Being a Leftist by definition means you gave up your soul long ago. Demonrats are Leftists, and anything is possible, anything can be said, anything can be done, for whatever reason they pull out of their ass and they don't have to answer truthfully to anybody to justify their actions. They are evil.

Imagine if a GOP administration did this... (http://booksbikesboomsticks.blogspot.com/2011/04/imagine-if-gop-administration-did-this.html)
From Defense.gov on April 11th, 2011:
American forces are not conducting strike missions in Libya. U.S. forces are supporting NATO with air-to-air refueling, reconnaissance and surveillance capabilities and unmanned aerial vehicle support.
From Voice Of America on April 14th, 2011:
The Pentagon confirmed Wednesday that 11 U.S. fighter jets have been transferred to NATO command to conduct airstrikes as assigned. U.S. military officials said the planes have flown 97 sorties since the transition to NATO command, firing weapons during three of those missions. Washington had announced earlier that the U.S. role in Libya had become one of support rather than active combat.
Wow. That was a quick one-eighty! Good thing I used Google, because otherwise I wouldn't have noticed the total policy reversal that the hard-nosed investigative reporters of our watchdog media have been uninvestigating as hard as they can.

If every member of the Arab league isn't involved up to their collective butts for every part of the mission we need to get the hell out.!!

You don't understand, they don't do work. The help does work.
Their planes are ornaments for the ornamental princes to operate and
impress the masses. When they are finished with the exhibition contractors
(American) prepare and polish the ornaments for the next exhibition.
Staff, hired help, and lackey dogs (that would be Americans) do the work.
We kick up sand and they cut off oil, simple. It will remain as such until
we achieve a leader who will take off the leash and put it on them.

What's interesting to me is that on most of the sorties flown by French and British (NATO) fighters ... they return to base with all of their ordnance intact ... ditto the Americans . There's no coordination between ground and air and an unwillingness to risk even one civillian death at NATO hands . This situation would be laughable if it weren't so damned sad .
-
No leadership, no common sense, no defined mission...what could go wrong?!
Complete fustercluck. Operation Obama Fail is well underway...

It's writ large to the world and every tin pot knows he has more than a year remaining to do his mischief.

More mischief, of the truly stupid variety!!!

Dismissing concerns over possible links between Libyan rebels and al Qaeda, the Obama administration has notified Congress it is providing $25 million in nonlethal aid to the rebels’ effort to drive Col. Moammar Gadhafi’s regime from power.
(http://media.washtimes.com/media/image/2011/04/15/rebel_s640x399.jpg)
The new authorization for assistance would cover “vehicles, fuel trucks and fuel bladders, ambulances, medical equipment, protective vests, binoculars, and non-secure radios,” according to a memorandum attached to the letter.

Yeah, makes me wanna empty my bladder...

Anything in there about a haircut and a bath ?
-
Yeah, nonlethal aid. I'm sure the rebels will respect that and use only for what Obama says it will be used for.
