This video was found at White House.gov and seems to be a review of what Obama will present to the nation, tomorrow night. He will underscore the fact that our involvement will be minimal, despite the fact that we have borne the burden of NATO 's financial burden and military might in all other joint military ventures.He will talk about the UN mandated action in Libya, not understanding that a UN mandate apart from Congressional involvement, is a violation of US law. Understand that we are, first, the United States of America and, then, a member of the UN. The Obama War Doctrine makes Congressional approval unimportant.
It never ceases to amaze me as to the total contempt Obama holds for the people's representative government, circumventing it on every occasion. You would think congressional figures would be at least embarrassed by the fact that, under Obama, congress no longer counts for much of anything but a wiping boy.
Tomorrow night, Obama will not explain "Why Libya and not Yemen or Syria or North Korea."
He will not explain why there is no exit strategy.
To date, there is no defined statement as to the "ultimate success" in the Libyan intervention. Will Obama give us the several military goals embedded in the Obama Libyan civil war intervention?
He will not explain why he promised "Days, not weeks," when, in fact, his generals are talking in terms of months.
He will not explain why he gets to make all the decisions for the United States of America. In other parts of the world , one man rule is called a "dictatorship." Personally, I have never referred to the man as "President" with a capital "P." He has spent the last two years making fun of plumbers, our views on guns and religion and hard working middle class Americans, in general. I see no reason to force him to be my president. He does not want me and "my kind" in the political equation; he wants us to take a back seat to his will and has said so.
And now, we have this video; Obama telling us all why he made this decision, on his own, and in violation of the wars powers act. The Left, recently, is full of the lie that Bush did the same, that he acted unilaterally in Iraq. He "acted alone" if you do not count the 14 month congressional debate we had in this country before going into Iraq. Her acted alone if you do not count overwhelming Congressional approval for the invasion. He acted alone if you do not include the 30 member allied force that participated at various levels in the invasion.
Oh !! , let's not forget that Bush won the Iraq war. Obama has already failed in Afghanistan. THAT is why we are doing Libya. He needs a war-time victory to offset the mess he has made in Afghanistan. Heck, he has already told anyone who bother to listen that he is leaving Afghanistan in four months --- July of 2011 !! Another lie, or is he serious? If he is serious, the war is lost.
Again, Obama needs a win in Libya as cover for the defeat in Afghanistan.
Now, before you listen to the following rhetorical nonsense, let this headline soak in: GATES: Libya Posed No Threat to USA, Was Not 'Vital National Interest' to Intervene... Gates is Barack's Secretary of Defense.
What he is saying is this: there was no other reason for attacking Libya except for humanitarian reasons. That is underscored with the fact that Obama has repeatedly said, "We are not after Gadafi." The problem in this is obvious: if humanitarian concerns were the only expressed reasons for our intervention in Libya's civil war, what about Syria, or Yemen or Darfur? What about North Korea where that idiot kills off his people with regularity?
Anyway, here is your president failing to justify his suspension of Constitutional protocol, talking like the dictator he has become, hoping that he scores some major points with those who no longer care about the foundational principles of this great nation.
I listened to 60 seconds of it before I fell asleep. You might do better.
