Turnabout Is Fair Play
Mar. 19th, 2011 10:08 pmShould I resist? Oh yes. Yes, I probably should...
But hypocrisy is so delicious. Tangy and sweet, and with a heaping helping of irony, or possibly better described as karma, absolutely irresistible.
If it wasn't all 100% tongue-in-cheek, I would abstain. However, the left has definitely had this coming to them.
With regards to the military action in Libya...
NO BLOOD FOR OIL!!!
President Obama, Nobel Peace Prize Winner, is a war criminal.
This is an unjust, undeclared illegal war.
President Obama is needlessly massacring innocent civilians.
NO BLOOD FOR OIL!!!
This war is lost.
This action will only lead to more terrorists.
Libya had nothing to do with 9/11.
NO BLOOD FOR OIL!!!
Hey MSM! I need those running death toll numbers...
It's a civil war! We have no place in it!
Why are we shoving our imperialist democratic ideals down their throats? They can't handle democracy!
NO BLOOD FOR OIL!!!
Ridiculous, isn't it?
One last bit of macabre (at best) political humor: Since this administration has made it clear that it doesn't want to "let any crisis go to waste," a rather brilliant internet poster suggested that we order another $1 trillion worth of Tomahawk Missiles. Or really anything that will support the "Overseas Contingency Operation" in Libya.
You know. To stimulate the economy.
In all seriousness, I'm pretty sure I support the President's actions, delayed as they were and in the wake of France of all countries... Leader of the Free World, isn't he supposed to be? I'm admittedly not as well-informed about this particular situation due to hand constraints. (I feel abysmally out of the loop, to be honest.)
My understanding is that this is an entirely Libyan conflict, and so technically it should be handled by them. Except that the military was firing on the civilians? Even my possibly shifting views on foreign policy couldn't possibly allow me to believe we should do absolutely nothing.
So. Go President Obama, and the other nations involved as well. Prayers with the soldiers, their families, and especially Libyan people.
