Obama, Prince of Arabia

By tim, The Godless Heathen

In response to yesterday's post prodding us conservatives to acknowledge Pres. Obama’s leadership in the Arab world via the impending removal of Ghadaffi, allow me to retort.

What a sick, twisted joke.

As if this was what you all voted for.

The “change” you needed, the “hope” you were craving. What utter and complete nonsense by obvious desperate people painfully overeager to use everything and anything to help prop up your chosen failure of a leader. Suddenly, you’ve all found your inner nation building, war is necessary neo-conservatism. And you like it, you really like it! Now there’s no more “chickens are coming home to roost“, just “hum, roasted chicken, want some?”

You want everyone to think that this what you’ve always supported. Except when you didn’t.

You same folks were mysteriously silent when Ghadaffi turned in his WMD arsenal shortly after we invaded Iraq. That was trivial, a silly distraction to the more important constant and unrelenting ‘Bush lied’ attacks. You were too busy spouting off about how it was an illegal war, that millions of Iraqi civilians were being slaughtered and how we can’t be the world’s police force.

Well now, times have changed. Or rather, a Democrat occupies the White House so those things are completely irrelevant now.

Pres. Bush, along with his supporters, was unmercifully villified and unrelentingly condemned, still to this day, for spending a year groveling at the UN and getting the approval of our Congress to dispose of Saddam Hussein. A lunatic who gassed his own people, invaded Kuwait and set their oil wells afire and waged a decade long war with Iran, which killed millions, and included the use of WMD’s. While Pres. Obama spent a couple hours informing, (no approval needed evidentially for the Noble Peace Prize winner), the UN and a couple members of congress that he wanted to topple ole Muammar (before going on another vacation).

And we’re just expected to meekly climb on board and forget all that?

Think again.

Have we seen one news story about any civilian deaths in Libya? One? Am I to believe no civilian deaths occurred, that the bombs dropped by Pres. Obama miraculously didn’t injure, maim or kill anyone they were not intended for? Only under Pres. Bush could that happen we’re lead to believe.

Has there been even one war protest to speak of? In San Francisco, Madrid, London, anywhere?

I somehow missed Christiane Amanpour or any breathless reporter informing us that Libya was a quagmire after the predicted “couple of weeks” war waged on for five months. Along with all the hand wringing about how much deeper in debt it was causing us to be.

And what happened to Obama’s promised “Too often in the past we have dictated instead of listened” tender foot foreign policy approach? Which he skillfully used when the Iranians briefly rose up against the Mullahs. It was certainly more in step with his then base’s walk softly approach of “no wonder they hate us” Middle East foreign policy. Now suddenly we’re suppose to believe the Left has turned over a new leaf, that they rather like policing the world and they really enjoy determining the fate of other country’s leadership?

And all of us Neanderthal Conservatives are to just go along for the ride, to forget the Left’s red faced indignation, their self righteous screeds, their “War is not the answer” lamenting?

Only if you’re high on medical marijuana would you think we’ve forgotten the kabuki theatre of ‘peace through dialogue‘, and my personal favorite - we need to ‘better understand our enemies‘ (of which the then Sen. Obama wrote an op-ed eight days after 9/11/01). Not forgetting either the constant, idiotic cries of “jingoism”, the omnipresent labeling of America as “imperialistic” (still waiting for proof of) all neatly mixed with a grotesquely distorted and convoluted misuse of historical missteps of the USA into a bitter and sour cocktail of “America is the real terrorists”. Yup, that was tasty.

This forum doesn’t allow me to tell all you born again “chicken hawks” precisely where you can put your new found globe trotting, defenders of the oppressed, democracy is a universal right, war IS indeed the answer, ya’ hypocritical, chest thumbing jackwagons.

You’re so smart, you’ll figure it out.

Well said Tim. they just went to press this morning with a new one. I actually lied this one. Well, not really liked it, but LMAO when I heard it.

"Obama isn't like Jimmy Carter, he is more like Tiger Woods. He has just lost his swing."

The next thing you now, they will be telling us that Obama is like Austin Powers and that the reason for all of his failures, is that Dr. Evil has stolen his mojo......

PS. I don't think Dr. Evil knows what a trillion is.....

The more I read American blogs, the more I'm grateful that in Canada we have a national leader who is not a political leader and doesn't need to get elected on a political platform.

I'm not quite sure how you can ever have national unity when at any one time 50% of the population is this mad at the guy who is supposed to be the leader of your country.

Just an outside observation and I'd be grateful to be proved wrong...

Well Tim, it seemed to work the exact same way the eight years Bush was in office. How did you feel about it then? Just saying.

Bottom line, the days of bipartisanship are over and have been. Ever since Clinton? It has been "the spoils to the victor" mentality in Washington. And when they aren't at each other's throats? They are looking into ways to further screw over those in the heartland while feathering their own nests.

And as it is, it will remain IMO. Until either catastrophic social collapse, or another revolution supplants the idiocy that presently reigns and someone reestablishes reason and moral character to the process top to bottom.

Agreed.

or another revolution supplants the idiocy that presently reigns and someone reestablishes reason and moral character to the process top to bottom.

I think that's what the other side said when Mr. Bush was in office.

Mr. Chesterton,

What post are you reading?

The overwhelming majority of my post is directed at the hypocrisy of the peaceniks on the Left who were so against war during Pres. Bush’s terms but now that Obam is in…war is just fine with them.

I could have attacked Pres. Obama more than I did, but that’s already been done. I could have linked speeches and videos of him in his own words contradicting himself on a variety of issues regarding this little excursion into Libya. (Just like just about everything he’s done while in office).

Hell, I realize I’m not going to agree with the Left/Obama, just don’t be flaming hypocrites ESPECIALLY when they just viciously attacked us for the same (Iraq) a few short years ago. And ESPECIALLY when it comes to national defense.

If there’s one thing I would think we could and should agree on(just ask the Lefty’s who voted for the Iraq war before they were against it) is the necessity to defend ourselves. Yes, that includes preemptively against madmen who have demonstrated their ability to
to cause trouble (to be it mildly). Especially in this post 9/11 world.

Mad? You think this was mad? This was a three on my scale. Not sure you could handle my ten.
