So, what was it that Europe and the U.S. sought to gain when they plunged head-first into Libya’s civil war? Beats us. We can understand what motivated the French, since they were the first to act on the possibly mistaken belief that their former good friend Col. Qaddafy was headed toward certain defeat. Considering the way things are going, they may have to remove the word “Alive” from the “Wanted Dead or Alive” poster they’ve effectively pinned on Kadafy’s caftan. As for America’s involvement, no one seems to know why we got involved in the first place, much less what will be required of us after the bombing stops. Perhaps the French will be so kind as to instruct us when the time comes. In the meantime, the “international coalition,” which also includes Great Britain, seems to be having a rollicking good time strafing loyalists forces and “protecting” the rebels. But it’s more than a little unsettling to see the ostensible allies squabbling over what is to come next, and who will lead.
If it is nation-rebuilding our politicians have in mind, then Kadhaffi may indeed have to be exiled, if not rubbed out, since he doesn’t seem like the kind of dictator who will be content to chill at the oasis. More likely, as we mentioned here earlier, is that he will do everything in his still-lethal power to avoid handing over Libya’s oil capacity to the U.S., France, Britain et al. Meanwhile, events thus far have attracted the bemused attention of Germany, Russia, China and a few other ostensibly neutral spectators who, one gathers, would always be perfectly content to do business with Kadhafy. Although this coalition of the unwilling obviously relishes telling the world how appalled they are by the allies’ strategically senseless assault against Kadafie, the entertainment value is bound to fade quickly when it comes time to decide who will extract and process Libyan’s ultra low-cost crude after the fighting stops.
As for Mr. Obama…
As for President Obama’s role in this international brawl, whether inadvertently or not, he may have furthered his goal of shaking America’s reputation as a war-mongering bunch of imperialists. For when the dust has settled in Libya, our enemies are more likely to view us as the bumbling incompetents we have become under Mr. Obama than a willful juggernaut out to subjugate the world. Incidentally, if you’re interested in finding out what’s really going on in Libya (and in Egypt), as well as the stakes involved, Jerusalem Post columnist Caroline Glick has written a pellucid essay on the subject – America’s Descent into Strategic Dementia — that you can access by clicking here.

I know it’s hard but you have to look at the world through Obamas eyes. Facts: He is,
anti-American
anti-capitalist
anti- christian
anti-Caucasian,
pro – New World Order
pro – communist
pro – muslim
pro – every race except, Caucasian
There is a Plan, a grand scheme, that Obama is enacting. He may have had a small, microscopic part in developing the Plan, but I doubt it. He is the mouthpiece, the deceiver, the facilitator. It doesn’t take
a lot of intelligence to perform those duties, especially when the media is holding his hand.
Forget about Gadurkishtaffy, Britain and France, they are all pawns.
The Muslim Brotherhood and cohorts are being rescued by O. Taking back the Middle East and controlling the oil, with the help of O, destroying Israel,
diminishing and bankrupting America, bringing power back to the Muslim Nation (formerly known as the Mid-East).
When The New World Order is established seated at the table of the NWO5 will be:
The Muslim Nation (formerly M.E. and Africa)
China ( includes what was India and Australia)
Russia ( includes what was formerly Europe)
Bramerica (formerly South America)
Camerica ( formerly Canada and America)
O will be the initial Grand Chairman.
“Let me be clear” it is not going to happen, but they are going to create a lot of havoc trying.
Spiritual forces are at work here, we are all spiritual beings in a physical body, good always wins over evil, only our bodies may pay the price.
Wake up and listen to your spirit,
Joe “you lie” Wilson did, and that should have been our wake up call.
Everything with Obama is a deception, a lie, circumvented, misspoken, evaded.
No former friends or classmates.
No grades, no papers, no articles, no lesson plans.
No birth certificate.
He is just a prop on the stage, with reverb, and the Plan.
To us who live in the real world, he is a rookie, inexperienced, incompetent, indecisive etc…, but
to those who support the Plan he is a master craftsman.
Open your minds folks, he is not stumbling, he is running full speed ahead, your choosing not to see it or believe it.
