The “Religion of Peace” Update - Cockroaches, Turds, and Proper Moozlums

Well, I said it long before the lackies of the M3 even hinted of it, that toppling Ghadaffi by assisting Libyan rebels was a big mistake. In Diana West's article, we learn that the NATO commander Stavridis "let the jihad out of the bag" when he told the U.S. Senate this week that the intelligence they have received indicates that al-Qaida and Hezbollah are involved in the rebel movement.

As West points out, "That means the U.S. military is fighting on behalf of the flickers that took down the World Trade Center in 2001 and the Marine Barracks in Beirut in 1983." Of course U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice, a professional diplodunk, disagrees with Stavridis' intelligence reports. West also points out how sad Rice's position is, given that the media is now reporting the involvement of jihadis in the Libyan rebellion. West even cites a 2007 West Point study that shows that eastern Libya "sent more jihadis per capita to Iraq to fight American forces than any other region in the world."

Hey, but at least self-proclaimed mujahedin Khalid Arshad Ali stated publicly that Ghadaffi "is not a proper Moozlum." Now we're making progress!

West also points out that we've spent about $1 billion on ordnance in Libya alone. I truly wish we had some leadership with an ounce of intelligence. We need to appoint Dave Ramsey as the financial counselor to the U.S. and make the U.S. government live within it's means and stay out of fights that we have no business being in. As a nation we're in debt up to our eyeballs, the only way the government can continue to run is to borrow money from other countries, unempoyment is as high as the Great Depression, and we spend $1 billion on ordnance in an attempt to get rid of a cockroach.

Here's a lesson for our leaders - cockroach's are masters of survival and carpet bombing has never killed a leader/cockroach that we wanted gone. It didn't work in Vietnam and it didn't work in Afghanistan or Iraq. And Ghadaffi is a cockroach that has caused us less trouble than other Moozlums since The Gipper, Ronald Reagan, thumped him on the chest back in the 1980s.

Ghadaffi is a cockroach we should have squashed 20 years ago, but BHO has picked a time in history when the middle east is on fire with rebellion to topple Ghadaffi when there is no plan in place and no indication that his replacement will be friendly to the U.S. This quote from the movie Off Limits sums it up:

“…You’re floating in a big sea of shit! And instead of just staying in the boat - no, you reach out and pick up this one little turd, and you say ‘This turd, well this turd pisses me off! I’m gonna do something about this turd!'”

Update: 4/3/11 - great article, 'Obama's 'Bloodbath': Can We Believe the Hype?, by Steve Chapman. Here are a couple of excellent excerpts:

1. 'Obama implied that, absent our intervention, Gadhafi might have killed nearly 700,000 people, putting it in a class with the 1994 genocide in Rwanda. White House adviser Dennis Ross was only slightly less alarmist when he reportedly cited "the real or imminent possibility that up to a 100,000 people could be massacred."'

2. 'Alan Kuperman, an associate professor at the University of Texas' Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs, is among those unconvinced by Obama's case. "Gadhafi," he told me, "did not massacre civilians in any of the other big cities he captured -- Zawiyah, Misratah, Ajdabiya -- which together have a population equal to Benghazi. Yes, civilians were killed in a typical, ham-handed Third World counter-insurgency. But civilians were not targeted for massacre as in Rwanda, Darfur, Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Bosnia or even Kosovo after NATO intervention.'

3. 'Another skeptic is Paul Miller, an assistant professor at National Defense University who served on the National Security Council under Bush and Obama. "The Rwandan genocide was targeted against an entire, clearly defined ethnic group," he wrote on the Foreign Policy website. "The Libyan civil war is between a tyrant and his cronies on one side, and a collection of tribes, movements, and ideologists (including Islamists) on the other. ... The first is murder, the second is war."'
