I’ve been puzzling over this one for a long time now. I think I finally understand.
President Obama waited too long to implement a no-fly zone over Libya because he acted impulsively and did it too quickly and not unilaterally but with UN and Arab League approval.
Confusing? It was to me, too! But thanks to modern-day pharmaceuticals and lots of coffee, I think I’ve worked out the finer points of my argument.
See, Obama should have implemented the no-fly zone and launched military action at the time he WASN’T doing it when Republicans were TELLING him to do it.
Remember? On March 7, Newt Gingrich told Fox News that, were he president, he would unilaterally “exercise a no-fly zone this evening,” on the grounds that “we think that slaughtering your own citizens is unacceptable.
See? Obama HADN’T exercised a no-fly zone and was allowing the unacceptable slaughter of Libyan citizens
Until Obama DID workout a deal with France, England the Arab League and others to implement the kind of no fly zone Newt called for, which — as you might imagine — enraged Newt.
He told NBC News after the intervention, “I would not have intervened,” especially not using “American and European forces.”
Now, NORMAL people might question such a flip flop. But they don’t know Newt. This is the same guy who promised three different women to love, honor and cherish them “until death.” For someone who can repeatedly and callously shit on his own wedding vows, this little misunderstanding is EASY to clear up, as he did on Facebook.
That’s why during a March 7th Greta van Susteren interview, I asserted that the president should establish a no-fly zone “this evening.” After March 3rd, the President should have moved immediately to consult with Congress to implement a no-fly zone, while also making it clear the US would welcome involvement from other nations.
Instead, he did the opposite. (Note — By which, Newt meant, he did exactly the same thing.) The President wasted weeks trying to get approval from the United Nations instead of Congress, the result of which was a weak mandate from the UN that changed the mission to one of humanitarian intervention.
See, PRESIDENT Newt would have been able to convince Congress by waggling his mighty eyebrows of DOOM at them that going it alone in Libya was the right thing to do. It worked so well in Iraq, after all.
What Obama SHOULD have done was waste weeks with a recalcitrant, obstructionist Republican congress and the “Oh, War is Always Just TEWWIBLE wif all the bombs and body parts and kabooming” ultra Left wing of the Democratic Party. (I’m looking at YOU, Kucinich!) THEN, Newt could say Obama was such a terrible leader, he couldn’t even get CONGRESS to go along with his plan.
So, Obama wasted weeks to do what Newt would have done in 15-minutes by flexing his mighty, adulterous scrotum at Congress, SCARING them into going along with the very same thing Obama is doing now with world approval.
If we had done it NEWT’S way, the world, personified by the United Nations, still weary from the Cowboy Imperialist, American Exceptionalist, Neocon Bush administration, may well have authorized military action against US! Which we wish they WOULD have done cuz THEN we could have kicked their one-world, non-God-fearing, Muslim-loving multinationalistic and multicultural ASSES for them! THEN they’ll know who the REAL freedom lovers are, by golly!
U-S-A!!!
U-S-A!!!
U-S-A!!!
Which is why we should impeach Obama. But that’s a column for a later date. Tomorrow, perhaps.
But today, Newt is already setting Obama up for defeat by creating a standard of victory that may or may not be possible to achieve. From the same Facebook posting,
Given the President’s public statements and the multitude of other humanitarian crises throughout the world, the only rational purpose for an intervention with US forces in Libya is to replace Gadaffi.
Now that we have US forces engaged, any result less than the removal of Gadaffi from power will be considered a defeat.
For that reason, I believe we must support the mission and see it through.
I’m sure the President APPRECIATES that support, Newt, and the fact that you’re on television (if Fox News still counts as TV) every half hour shitting all over the mission, the troops who are carrying out their orders and the president who placed them in harm’s way.
You’re as much of a patriot as you were a faithful husband, you multi-jowled, giant-headed, triple-faced asswipe.
I hope you get the nomination, you faithless dick.
