Arab League Condemns Coalition Attack on Libya Only Hours After they Offered Support - Or Did They?

►Shift by Clinton Helped Push Obama to Take a Harder Line

 EXCERPT:

“Hillary and Susan Rice were key parts of this story because Hillary got the Arab buy-in and Susan worked the U.N. to get a 10-to-5 vote, which is no easy thing,” said Brian Katulis, a national security expert with the Center for American Progress, a liberal group with close ties to the administration. This “puts the United States in a much stronger position because they’ve got the international support that makes this more like the 1991 gulf war than the 2003 Iraq war.”

Who is the President?  Where is the President?

Shamefully, the New York Times is doing everything they can to try and narrate an understanding of Obama's complete incompetence and lack of leadership regarding the situation in Libya and as to what lead to the decisions for the US involvement in the military conflict.

According to the story the main issue was winning not just the support of Arab countries but their active participation in military operations against one of their own.

Once again, the inept Obama and those he has doing the important work that HE should be doing as president, but is incapable of doing for reasons that I will not get into here, has refused to allow historic precedence guide their decisions.

As a result, in less than 24 hours since the coalition formed, it may be about to fall apart.

In less than 24 hours after the bombings began in Libya, Hillary and Obama and Rice and whoever else was involved in this pathetic charade of foreign policy, thought they had the support of the Arab league, but as history could have told them that was hogwash.

This today:

►Arab League condemns broad bombing campaign in Libya.

This, only hours after Hillary and Rice and Obama were told they had their support.

Did Obama and his "women" even think that the Arab community would really support a military assault on their people from the West, let alone from the United States, just because we were letting the French and Germans take the lead? Did the Arab community really say they will support military action against their own people or did they really mean just enforcing a no-fly zone? Who's telling the truth here?

Might Obama and his "women" have stretched the truth a little, enough to cover for a little military action that will show that he is doing something with the intent of  pulling out as soon as the Arab League condemns it? Did Obama and his "women" deceive the Arab League?

One thing is probably certain, look for the French to be the first to jump ship and pull the plug, and the coalition will crumble.  This could be one of the most massive failures in Middle Eastern foreign policy since Carter and the Iran hostage crisis.

This is once again the result of a weak and incompetent President Obama who tucks his tail between his legs and runs away to another part of the world every time a serious and controversial issue that requires great presidential leadership comes up.

This is too serious to even call these clowns a laughing stock.  This is outright dangerous in that Obama has usurped the Constitution again by not holding congressional hearings before sending troops to war, rather following the UN's approval. This, I believe is impeachable. All this can result in serious longterm foreign policy consequences that will not be in our best interests.

This is Obama using pre 9/11 Middle Eastern foreign policy that has failed tragically and politically. Of course, as most narcissists believe, history began when they were either born, or when they took office. Whichever came first.
