Pamela Geller, Human Events: Why War on Libya, When Iran Is the No. 1 Offender and Threat?

Why War on Libya, When Iran Is the No. 1 Offender and Threat?

by Pamela Geller

Overlooking the real enemy–and others every bit as vile or worse–Obama's committed brave U.S. soldiers to fight with al-Qaeda and jihadists.

News has “leaked” that Barack Obama authorized a secret war in Libya weeks ago.  According to Reuters, he “signed a secret order authorizing covert U.S. government support for rebel forces seeking to oust Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi.”

Imagine if a Republican President ever pulled a fatal stunt like that.  And if it was secret, why is Obama leaking it now?

Why Libya ?

Story continues below advertisement

It would be one thing if Obama had been fighting the forces of jihad through a muscular foreign policy.  Why wasn’t such action taken when Americans are risking their lives to fight alongside al-Qaeda in Libya.  That's right, our boys are, in effect, fighting alongside al-Qaeda jihadists and Libyan rebels.  Are they forced to pray too?  You know, Obama demands that we show respect.  Just how far, O?

What could possibly be the endgame here, while al-Qaeda is snatching missiles in Libya?  The “rebels” that Obama has secretly authorized arming have sold Hezbollah and Hamas chemical shells.

I am not a fan of Gaddafi—there are no heroes in this story—but Saddam Hussein made Gaddafi look like Angelina Jolie, and yet the Left is still whining and hand-wringing about that war.  But they support this?  What is their premise?  Bush went to Congress and went to the United Natons (and gave Saddam, the butcher of Baghdad, a year to move and/or destroy his weapons of mass destruction).  Obama just went to war—without Congress, without even discussing it with the American people.  And again I ask, as I have repeatedly for weeks, why?  Why Libya?  Why Gaddafi?

Assad in Syria is much worse than, say, Mubarak in Egypt, but Obama vows not to interfere in that vassal of Iran, despite the slaughter of its people.  And Obama supports the Muslim Brotherhood, which is steadily taking control in Egypt.  To what end?  Why hasn’t Obama taken such action against the jihad pirates in Somalia?  Why not a “secret war” in Ethiopia to aid their fight against jihad?  Or aid for the fight against jihad in Thailand, the Philippines, Indonesia?

Because we can’t be everywhere, nor should we be.  So we pick our fights based on where we can do the most good and remove the biggest evil.

Iran should have been the target.  The mullahcracy should have been removed.  The only revolution that was a genuine fight for life, liberty, and freedom was in Iran in the summer of 2009, and Obama ignored it.  He sat back and watched the heroic Neda Sultan assassinated in broad daylight on the streets of Tehran, and thousands of others slaughtered.  He backed the mullahcracy.  He will always be remembered for that, especially after the coming catastrophe.

Why Libya?

It should have been Iran—if we had picked one country to set the example of muscular diplomacy while removing the gravest threat to the free world.  It should have been Iran.  Period.

Bombing Libya makes no sense.  Recipe: disaster.

Recommend ATLAS have someone research Ivory Coast. It appears that the Muslim population has increased from 25% in 2000 TO 38% now. They have a massive migration of Muslims since that country is where the jobs are. They have just elected a Muslim President which many say is an illegal migrant and the US is supporting him and his fellow Muslim warriors chopping up Christians. One village supposedly had over a thousand men murdered, hacked to death, and ALL the women were taken off. It appears that one may say there is no Jihadist this administration will not support. LOL!

Why, Pmela? You said it yourself- 0bama supports the Muslim Brotherhood – and the MB is already in control in Iran. Khadaffy refused to pay tribute / jizya to the MB so he has to go – to be replaced by a “democratically elected” government that will institute Sharia law and become part of the Caliphate. 0bama knows the Libs are suckers for the “democratically elected government” shtick so the useful idiots in his party will follow like lambs to the slaughter. Everything 0bama is doing is designed to reduce American power and prestiege on the world stage so that the Caliphate can be established as the number one superpower. With financial help help from Soros, the Saudis and Chavez he just might succeed. Yeah, Khadaffy is a SOB, but better the enemy you know than the enemy you don’t know.

Every action our president takes basically advances the goals of radical islamists. The net affect will be a dramatic speeding-up of the domino effect of radical islam. Our islamic president is well aware of how this is to be achieved. Any leader who truly represented us, the American people, would be keen on protecting our interests. But his contrary actions prove that he is really working with amazing success for the opposition.

Why are so many surprised that Obama can’t seem to do the American thing?
They keep suggesting better choices and behavior. They are disappointed. Why?
They don’t get it yet!
He wants the U.S. to fall.
He is consistent in his chosen purposes. He wants to replace our system with a muslim fairy tale.
Based on a humanistic jealous Mo myth and nightmare.
P.S. When he runs in 2012, will he pass the birth-proof test of US citizenship? No. Cuz he isn’t.
