Default Lying our way into war

The missing facts in President Obama’s news conference - The Fact Checker - The Washington Post

“Moammar Gaddafi, who prior to Osama bin Laden was responsible for more American deaths than just about anybody on the planet, was threatening to massacre his people. . . . As a consequence, a guy who was a state sponsor of terrorist operations against the United States of America is pinned down, and the noose is tightening around him.”

FACT CHECK:

Yes, Gaddafi is a bad guy, but Obama conveniently ignores the fact that until the uprising, the administration was rushing to do business with him. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton met with one of Gadhafi’s sons, Mutassim Gadhafi, in 2009, declaring, “I’m very much looking forward to building on this relationship.”

It is especially strange for Obama to rhetorically place Libya back on the list of the state sponsors of terrorism when, in fact, it was removed four years ago — after Gaddafi gave up his illicit weapons programs, renounced terrorism and paid billions of dollars to settle claims with terror victims.

George Bush would have been Drawn Quartered and Completely Crucified by Hollywood, The Democrat Media, and all of those Grinning Scumsucking Pig Swine Democrats who Tag Along Behind Teeth Pelosi if he had pulled the ***** President Jug Ears gets away with

I find it amazing how fast the Left Wing Anti War Protesters put away their little Toy Drums as soon as This Bonehead Obama Was Coronated, phony biased bastards.

Lying about Iraq is nothing compared to what Obama has done (not a peep from the sobbing war protesters)

Hey Left Wing Haters do you know that American Troops and civilian men women and Children are still dying under The Bush Wars and now the New Obama Wars, YOU RACIST BASTARDS.

Touche` but it was actually a pretty long process

How Libya Got Off the List - Council on Foreign Relations


What did Libya do to warrant removal from the state sponsors list?


The process of welcoming Libya "in from the cold" began in the late 1990s. The first significant step came in 1999 when, after prolonged negotiations with UN and UK representatives, Libya turned over two of its citizens to be tried in The Hague for their role in the Pan Am 103 bombing. Subsequently, Clinton administration officials, led by then-Assistant Secretary of State Martin Indyk, began secret negotiations with Libya.

At the same time, Qaddafi increasingly moved to cut Libya's ties to terrorism. Starting in 1999, Qaddafi expelled the Abu Nidal Organization, closed Libya's terrorist training camps, cut ties to Palestinian militants, and extradited suspected terrorists to Egypt, Yemen, and Jordan. In the 2002 edition of the state sponsors of terrorism list, the State Department said Qaddafi had "repeatedly denounced terrorism."

Always find it amazing that the right was so tolerant of George W. who lied his way to a war that has cost us over 3 trillon dollars, lost over 4500 American Lives and killed over 150,000 Iraqi women and children(collateral damage).

Stop all the wars, bring everybody home, close half of the american basis overseas(about 350 of them), stop building futurist weapons to use on third world countries.. stop the military industrial complex, invest in America.
scout and State like this.

Some day the American people will pardon George Bush ... if it wasn't evident then it should be by now ... our President is a puppet - no more and no less. Their major function is to shield the power brokers from the American public - lipstick on a pig.

Difficult to pardon someone who was never indicted or convicted, should have been but our congress has very small testicles...

Maybe you mean those guys in Spain or wherever will pardon him, where he and members of his regime are wanted for war crimes...?

Obama is lying about Libya, of course.

But it started with Woodrow Wilson. He campaigned with "He kept us out of war." Then, once elected, he almost immediately sent us into the disastrous WWI.

Gore Vidal says he doesn't vote in response to this example.
