[ April 24, 2024 ]
In what can only be described as the quintessential pig flying moment, President Obama actually admitted to his failure in Libya. Considering his considerable failures spanning the past 7 years and his refusal to take responsibility for any of them, this is truly a defining moment. Last month, President Obama blamed Cameron and European leaders for the Libyan disaster. He has never taken responsibility for any of his long, long string of disastrous failures. So it is a shock to the system that Obama admitted that anything he did actually worked out badly.
It will be perhaps the single statement he has ever made that is obviously correct and supported by a massive amount of evidence. It could stand as the single most important statement of his presidency, which will certainly be seen as a catastrophe by historians: the full effect of what he has done hasn’t been seen yet, and it will be terrible.

The catastrophe in Libya was foreseeable. Back in April of 2011, I warned that Obama was aiding and arming al Qaeda forces in Libya. My headline on April 19, 2011 was: US Aids Islamic Jihad in Libya.
Obama intervened on behalf of Islamic supremacists and jihadists throughout the region. He aided and abetted the enemies of the U.S. Will he apologize for those mistakes? Will he apologize for ousting Mubarak and helping to install the terrorist Muslim Brotherhood group? Will he apologize for aiding and arming jihadists in Syria? Will he apologize for the abandonment of Israel? Will he apologize for rise of the Islamic State and Boko Haram?
Will he apologize to the families of the Benghazi dead?
‘Worst mistake as president’: Obama admits he had no plan after Libya regime change, RT, 10 Apr, 2016:
Failing to plan for the aftermath of the US-led military intervention in Libya was President Barack Obama’s worst mistake during the eight years in the White House, Obama himself confessed to US media.
When asked in a quick Q&A preview for an interview with Fox News Sunday what his “worst mistake” as a president had been, the US leader answered: “Probably failing to plan for the day after what I think was the right thing to do in intervening in Libya.”
A month ago, Obama admitted that Libya has been a “mess” since the fall of Muammar Gaddafi, but blamed UK Prime Minister David Cameron and other European leaders for the chaos.
Given Libya’s proximity to the European continent, he expected his counterparts to invest more in the follow-up to the military campaign, the US President claimed.
In March of 2011, the UN Security Council (UNSC) adopted a resolution on Libya authorizing the international community to “take all necessary measures” to protect the civilian population. The US-led coalition then proceeded to intensively bomb the Libyan army, eventually toppling the country’s leader, Gaddafi, who was killed in October of the same year.

With no follow-up plan coming from the intervening countries after the Gaddafi regime was overthrown, the failed state descended into chaos as rival governments and armed groups fought for control, providing Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) and other extremist groups with the opportunity to gain a foothold in the oil-rich country. Libya is now a key operating base for IS terrorists, and other local militant groups control large parts of the country as well.
Some 400,000 people have been displaced as a result of the intervention, according to UN estimates.
Russia and many of its allies around the world found the months-long NATO bombing campaign unacceptable, saying that UN Resolution 1973 spoke only of establishing a no-fly zone to guarantee civilian security, and was not a green light to bring about regime change.

If you want to get rid of someone then you have to consider who might replace them. Only a complete imbecile would not think that out in advance.

Dear DVult and Mahou, we Republicans and Republican sympathizers were there before, remember? Who led us into Iraq? And, all America was behind the move.
This is more than a partisan issue. This is survival of our way of life.

He knows they are massing on the coast to invade and that they’re going to need to be fought back now because they want to start pension and fund stripping with negative inflation first. It’s not a mistake to destroy America, it was tactically the wrong move by the Brotherhood. They should have waited to topple libya maybe starting now. and of course he smarts and he’s desperate to just blame Hil but he can’t

Libya, like Egypt, Syria and Ukraine, was simply another of Soros’ game of toppling regimes. His game was greatly elevated when he, Soros, took over the US government through his puppet front man, Obama. And the disastrous effects multiplied as his game elevated.

I’m not a bumper sticker person. It’s more of a liberal thing to believe the person behind you in traffic gives a flying fig what you think. I have been tempted to get a “Hillary for Prison 2016” sticker, but I’m almost certain it would lead to my car being vandalized, that being one of the ways progressives ‘express’ themselves.

Yeah, in the parking lot. If WE weren’t so moral, we should burn every car with an obama sticker, Hitlerly, Bernie, or COEXIST sticker. The SLIME know we will not deface their vehicles or stickers, but they (as the SLIME bellied CRIMINALS they ARE) will do it to ours.

Well, I stepped into the fray a few months ago and affixed a “NOT Ready for Hillary” bumper sticker on the car, but have a “Trump” sticker on the other side. Can’t tell which one was to blame for some idiot STEALING the grill (!!!!!) from the front of my car! I’m taking the car in today to have it replaced with a used one (I’m lucky to find even that – the car is a 2005 Ford!). The big question is, will it be stolen again? Or can I live undisturbed – with my “provocative” bumper stickers – for the rest of the already wild campaign season?

My brother lives in Arkansas. They had a proposition to ban smoking in public buildings and he put a sign for the proposition in his yard – it was taken. I read a story about another guy who was having his political sign stolen every time he replaced it. So he electrified it. Nothing lethal, just enough for an unpleasant jolt. IIRC they tried to charge him with assault for that.

People are sure crazy! But where do they get off thinking they can remove anything from someone else’s car? That electric jolt was a good idea – UNTIL the idiots tried to get revenge!

I wonder, with much trepidation, what she gave Obama for his taking the hit for Libya. Perhaps Cory Booker for VP? Or, Deval Patrick?
It must have been a marvelous game of chicken being waged between the Clintons and Obama/Jarrett.
Irregardless, she is a captured operation, Huma not being so close just a coinkydinky. The Far Left (to include, especially, Soros) and the Mus Bros are extremely serious about their agenda. Ergo, the Dems win by hook or by crook. They only have to steal a few swing states, after all.

Correction. The worst mistake was electing him as president of the United States.

I think his greatest mistake was to not join Globalfirm, though I posted on his facebook.
If he can’t judge right from wrong he’s in the wrong position.
He could had the chance to expose & condemn Muhammad’s dualistic deceptive, sadist, anti Afro theist system to a wide public, to free African slaves in Saudi Arabia, new north Sudan & Mauritania (25%) & elsewhere.
Instead he armed Isis, bowed to the Saudi tyrant, proclaimed Boko Haram would have legitimate concerns & ignored me & my work for authentic human rights & ecology.

Obama’s failure in the middle east is so comprehensive that admitting any one thing is more likely diversion that anything else. His appease and apology tour highlighted by his Cairo speech set the start of the Jihadi uprising they called the Arab Spring. And the idiot Republicans answered “but not Benghazi” when they blamed a video that had little to do with the entire protests across the region. Those 9/11 demonstrations were the utter collapse of his Mideast policy and almost no one noticed. Libya was only a small part and that was Hillary’s baby. Maybe he is trying to cover for the Dems likely candidate. Everything he does and says is political.

No Obama the worst mistake was you ever being born and then the worst mistake was the massive cover up of your Gay Muslim Communist ass! Obama’s failed attempt to overthrow the Egyptian government, overthrow attempt of Syria, leaving a stable Iraq helpless against every general and admirals advice, doing all he can to help terrorist loving Iran, attempting to overthrow the Israeli election, arming drug cartels and blaming Americans for it, helping every Communist dictator he can find, calling Fort Hood a workplace incident, importing Islamic inbreds as fast as he possibly can, Trashing our Constitution etc etc etc.

Pam, of course you are right. But, if this is the moment where the Western leadership is turning the corner and beginning to see and speak the truth, that is something we can celebrate. We gain nothing by the President’s humiliation, but the world can gain if he begins to face the truth with honesty. Let’s pray…
Many conservatives were also in denial about Islam–many thought that the Arabs, for example, would embrace Western cultural hegemony just like the Russians and the East Germans. Perhaps Turkey was the model that led to this conclusion. But, they are going in the opposite direction.
Finally, people are realizing that this is a clash of civilizations that cannot co-exist geographically in the same time and place.
