Cracks in the “Coalition” Already?

Cracks in the “Coalition” Already?

That didn’t take long did it? The Arab league comes out against the bombing of Libya… After they were for it. Sounds like the Arab League should be U.S Congressional Caucus.

First cracks emerge in military coalition on Libya

While the US-French-British core stayed solid, cracks started to show Monday in the military coalition hastily assembled to take action on Libya as the Arab League and some EU countries wavered.

Criticism of the operation came swiftly after French jets took to the skies on Saturday to launch the first air strikes on Libyan targets in support of UN Security Council Resolution 1973.

Arab League Secretary General Amr Mussa caused concerns on Sunday when he said the air strikes went beyond the scope of the resolution to implement a no-fly zone and said he was concerned about civilians being hurt in bombing.

Now if this surprised ANYONE then you are uninformed. The Arab league is full of Arabs. There’s a saying “Never trust an Arab” and its as old as time its self.

I’m thinking it wont take long before France backs off. Although right now Sarkozy makes Obama look like a 5th grade school girl. Sad to say but it’s true. Already Putin is not happy, China will chime in shortly then the entire coalition becomes shaky. The same thing happened in Iraq. Remember when Spain dropped out? The left went nuts about us being alone…History repeats itself for the ignorant.

So what have we learned about Obama and his “Experience” in world affairs? When someone else has to make a decision on how to handle a particular problem, he has all the answers about what they should have done. When HE has to make a decision, he makes the same exact decision that he criticized the previous POTUS for.

The web is ALIVE with all the hypocrisy from Obama between the 2005 and the run-up to the election, and now, So I won’t bother posting it again. But I do gotta say again. Obama is NOT the one I want in charge of ANY WAR, ANY CONFLICT or ANY DEALINGS with ANY WORLD LEADER. I don’t want a person like Obama as a city dog catcher much less the leader of the free world.

I don’t like Kadaffi or pretty much any Muslim country or believer. I wouldn’t piss on them if they were on fire and I really don’t like sending our men and women out to fight FOR people who would just as soon kill us than look at us.

God Bless out airmen and women in harms way, they are leaderless at the top.

Looks like the Arab League has changed their minds and are now okay with the bombing in Libya. They will say something totally different in Arabic within the next 24 hours.

Obama and Co. Finally act and get it WRONG.

Obama and Co. Finally act and get it WRONG.

Libya… NOW they are going to engage in a MILITARY operation for oil? Can you tell me WHY if not OIL? Remember the cries about Iraq and the war for oil? Remember the 12 years of NO-FLY zone that came before the WAR? Can some liberpuke progressifuck tell me the difference?

U.S. to deploy more ships to support Libya planning

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The United States will deploy additional amphibious ships to the Mediterranean, the military said on Friday, as part of the Obama administration’s plans for responding to ongoing violence in Libya.

The USS Bataan Amphibious Ready Group will deploy on March 23 “ahead of its original schedule in order to relieve units from the USS Kearsarge (Amphibious Ready Group) currently positioned in the Mediterranean Sea,” it said in a statement.

Okay the Brits and French are in the lead this time FOR NOW. Let’s just say for the sake of argument the French have cold feet and drop out after one of their fighters get shot down or a pilot gets a hangnail… Who fills that void? That’s right children, WE DO.

Here’s why I say Obama got it wrong. It had nothing to do with finally supporting a no-fly zone. It has to do with leadership. Obama gave hope to the protesters, he gave them hope by his silence. he allowed MANY of them to get killed as they were hoping for help. A leader, especially the leader of the MOST POWERFUL NATION IN THE WORLD needs to LEAD. You lead by making your position clear. You lead by looking at the data and making a decision based on that data. NONE of the data he had suggested that the best course of action was silence and 18 holes of golf…

Fast forward to today. Obama makes a stand, a strong stand but the real courage in this debacle was in France and England.

Now let me say right off, I DON’T AGREE with the no-fly zone plan. I don’t agree with helping the protesters, I don’t agree with helping the tyrant. I would agree with Obama had he stated on day one “We will not be interfering in Libya’s revolution, this is up to the Arab league and Libya’s neighbors to deal with.” That would have taken courage, that would have taken will and an ability to lead. Obama has NONE if that.

As I stated in Texas Fred’s blog. They can all drop dead and I wouldn’t lose a seconds sleep. Matter of fact, if they scooped all the Libyan’s up and started air dropping them in the nuclear reactor at Fukashima, it would be a win win for the world.

If you can’t understand my animosity toward the Libyan’s you are either too young to remember Lockerbie or too stupid to understand payback.
