Not a pacifist
1. Troops still in Iraq, Obama didn't speed up timetable
2. Obama added 40,000 combat troops plus thousands in support in Afgan ( higher death totals than W)
3. Not closing Gitmo like he promised... he's hoping people just forget about it
4. Obama attacking Libya
What's realling going on in Libya
To me it looks like Obama said whatever would get him the nod over Hillary Clinton and John Mccain. He's a true (lying) manipulative politcian. What troubles me is the recent talk in Libya. Look, I dislike Gaddafi as much as anybody but look at the biased rhetoric coming out of Obama...
1. Gaddafi is attacking his own people!
- He's attacking them because they are rebels and they were attacking the legitimacy of his own government. It would be like if a bunch of anti-Obama rednecks with rifles started taking over Kansas City, St. Louis and Atlanta and the Obama administration sent in the army to squash it. Of course he wants to squash the rebellion to maintain power. He's attacking his own people because they are trying to overthrow him!
2. Gaddafi is attacking defenseless people!
- That sounds like a good reason to attack somebody but it just isn't true. Have you seen the media photos of the rebels shooting AK-47's in the air with masks on their faces? Storming center city and taking over? These aren't innocent helpless civillians, they are freedom fighters. Obama isn't "helping the innocent", he's are supporting the revolution. Big difference. His spin makes it sound nicer but it isn't true.
3. "The people just want democracy"
Some of the rebels just want democracy, but you have a large number of people working together to overthrow Gaddafi. Some want Democracy, but some are certainly religious freaks that want to overthrow the government to institute an ( in my opinion even worse) Islamic theocracy.
In my opinion the US did the dirty work, but they threw other countries name on the work so that the US wouldn't be seen as the white devil bad guys ( even though we will anyway).
So what did we do? Well remember that uprising a few weeks ago? Now Gaddafi is angry and he sent all the kings horses and all the kings men to take back his country again. As those tanks and war planes on their way to tripoli were going to crush the pitiful rebels ( many didn't even know how to load a gun) but the big bad US bully stepped in and crushed Pro government forces so that the rebels can live to fight another day.
I do NOT think the US will invade... we don't want to take the country and GIVE it to rebels, we want to help push them along and trick them into thinking THEY won their country back. So think of us like a ref fixing a game or something. I'm trying to say this in gambling terms so you guys will understand. Right when Turnpike Tech gets a slight lead over DUKE, you have the Refs ( Americans) come in and start fixing the game, making calls, so that Turnpike tech can come back and win on their own.
Rebels = turnpike tech
Gaddaffi = Duke
Fixing referees = US Military
We want to let the rebels think THEY won their country back so we aren't seen as the bad guys invading their country. We'll just bomb the crap out of Gaddaffi army when they start winning and let the rebels think they won all the while Obama tries to put a positive spin on all of it.
