Lies, Damn Lies, and Presidential Statements
by Lee Wrights, April 02, 2011
In politics, there are lies, damn lies and presidential statements.
Nine days after taking the United States into another immoral,
unnecessary, and unconstitutional war based on lies and distortions,
President Obama continued to compound and expand the deceit.
Everything about this action has been a lie, from the claims used to
justify the action, to the bogus U.N. resolution crafted to give it an
air of legality, to the implementation of the phony "no-fly zone."
It should now be clear to anyone that the United States has intervened
in a Libyan civil war on the side of the rebels. Just a day after
President Obama said this action was not about removing Muammar
Gadhafi from power by force, Secretary of State Clinton said the
United States and our allies were considering arming the rebels, an
action which would be a violation of the U.N. resolution that
supposedly authorized this attack.
Obama claimed, without presenting any evidence, that we had to act in
order to prevent the "slaughter of civilians" and incredibly declared
that to do otherwise would be a "betrayal of who we are." Launching a
massive attack on a sovereign nation which has not attacked or
threatened us is the real and the greatest betrayal of who we are. It
is a despicable act of aggression and an outright act of war.
Once again, the United States military is engaging in a policy to
"destroy the village in order to save it." What is unclear is exactly
who are we saving it from. Obama said he "refused to wait for the
images of slaughter and mass graves before taking action." But, he’s
apparently perfectly content to be responsible for images of the
mangled bodies of innocents killed by the "collateral damage" of
American bombs, missiles and aircraft, and the body-bags filled with
brave American soldiers.
The president has forgotten, or maybe he doesn’t believe, that his
first and most important legal and moral duty as commander-in-chief is
to protect the lives of Americans.
From the beginning of this manufactured crisis, President Obama simply
has not been honest with the American people. He doesn’t even have the
honesty to call this a war. His political sycophants have come up with
the euphemism "kinetic military action" to disguise and obfuscate the
true nature of this aggression. Obama has behaved and spoken in a way
eerily and painfully reminiscent of his three predecessors, who
entangled the United States in the quagmires of internal conflicts in
other nations.
Like his predecessors, President Obama has used cleverly crafted, high-
sounding and morally tinged words and phrases to justify actions that
clearly demonstrate a disregard for the rule of law and U.S.
Constitution. But actions speak louder than words. Sadly, his actions
show a callous disregard for the lives of American soldiers, sailors,
airmen, and Marines.
On the one hand, the president did not find the time to consult with
Congress before ordering the attack on Libya, yet he found time to
consult with NATO and the Arab League. While ignoring the clear
mandate to seek a declaration of war from Congress, Obama cited the
U.N. Charter to justify his action. Apparently the President thinks
that is a higher law than the Constitution he has sworn to preserve,
protect, and defend.
From the beginning, the "no-fly" zone was shown to be a farce.
American missiles and aircraft attacked not just air defense systems,
but infrastructure, convoys, tanks, Libyan government forces — and
Gadhafi’s residences. Filling the Libyan sky with U.S. bombs, the
president insisted that while Gadhafi "must go," he was not a target.
That is insane! If this is indeed a just war, then all the leaders of
the enemy nation should be targets. The fact that President Obama has
been so circumspect about this issue just makes it all the more clear
that this is not a just war.
The U.S. employed AC-130 gunships and A-10 tank buster aircraft which
are specially designed for close air support and battlefield
interdiction in support of ground forces. Another insanity here, if
indeed this is a just war, is that to use such massive firepower
without having someone on the ground to direct it is militarily
unsound and morally reprehensible because it inevitably results in the
death of non-combatants.
The talk about sending arms to the rebels in Libya is perhaps the most
bizarre and disturbing development. Even before the bombing of Libya
began there was very little information reported about exactly who the
rebels are. Michael Scheuer, former head of the CIA’s Bin Laden unit,
explained in a recent article that there is plausible reason to
believe the rebels are current or former Islamist mujahedin, eager to
engage in jihad. During his despotic reign, Gadhafi fought to suppress
Libyan Islamists, who mostly live in the eastern provinces of the
nation that are now in rebellion. Some of these same folks fought
Americans in Iraq!
Whether or not the Libyan rebellion is dominated by al-Qaeda,
Islamists, or any other terrorist or anti-American group is not the
point. The point is that the United States does not know. Once again
our ignorance of local conditions in a foreign nation, particularly
the Middle East, hasn’t deterred American politicians from making
stupid decisions about policy. And so – once again — American
diplomatic ignorance and hubris will make enemies, sow chaos and
discord, and result in the death of innocent people.

Impossibile: negli USA il prez non puo' fare piu' di due mandati.

 Incredibile come il tuo giudizio su Obama richiami quello di Toni.
a TB l'unica cosa che dispiace dell'elenco del terrorista è
"indeciso". Se Obama fosse "solo" tutto il resto, lo approverebbe con
entusiasmo
