Clinton: No-Fly Zone Over Libya Cannot be U.S.-Led Effort

clinton is full of shit. We are the United States and we can do whatever the hell we want to do. We don't need a bunch of candy asses in the u.n. to tell us when and where we can set up a no fly zone.

So as obama continues to wring his hands and plan his next golf game or vacation, women and children are being murdered by libyan jets and gun ships. While the u.n. schedules a meeting innocent people are dying in the streets.

WE ARE NOT THE WORLD'S POLICE FORCE! But it is immoral for us to stand by and do nothing while innocent civilians are being killed when we have the ability to stop it.

I'm not saying we should invade libya. What I am saying is that imposing and enforcing a no fly zone will inhibit the ability of the libyan military to commit mass murder with aircraft and give those fighting against a corrupt dictator a fighting chance.

The u.n. is worthless and so is obama. Leaders should have the guts to do the right thing even when it isn't popular. We should never base the decision to save innocent people on a u.n. mandate...

From FoxNews

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told Sky News Wednesday that a no-fly zone over Libya cannot be a U.S.-led effort, and would need the backing of the international community.

"I think it's very important that this not be a U.S.-led effort, because this comes from the people of Libya themselves," she told Sky News.

"This doesn't come from the outside. This doesn't come from some Western power or some Gulf country saying this is what you should do, this is how you should live."

Clinton's comments come as Pentagon press secretary Geoff Morrell pushed back on notions that Defense Secretary Robert Gates was against setting up a no-fly zone.

"The secretary's position on a no-fly zone has not changed," Morrell told press traveling with Gates en route to a NATO advisory meeting in Brussels. "We are preparing a full range of military options for the president, including a no-fly zone."

Morrell added, "We have already moved significant assets into the Mediterranean to provide humanitarian assistance."

Libya will now likely be on the formal agenda of that pre scheduled defense ministers meeting at NATO headquarters in Brussels on Thursday and Friday, as British and French leaders continue to push for the establishment of a no-fly zone to prevent Libyan leader Muammar al-Qadaffi from firing on his own people.

"[Gates] position is he is committed to providing the president with the full range of options, it's his duty also to present the ramifications of each option presented."

Obama Was Against Forcing Americans to Buy Health Insurance Before He Was For It

This speaks for itself and doesn't even require any smartass comments from me...

Be sure to watch the video.

While on the campaign trail, President Barack Obama consistently voiced that he was strongly opposed to forcing the uninsured to purchase health insurance.

Currently, his administration is taking to federal court 27 states that are challenging the constitutionality of the federal government forcing people to buy health insurance.

As a candidate for president he argued against the individual mandate, using it as a focal point to separate his health care plan from opponent Hillary Clinton’s health care proposal.

 

“Senator Clinton has a different approach. She believes that we have to force people who don’t have health insurance to buy it. Otherwise there will be a lot of people who don’t get it. “ Obama said during a January 31st 2008 debate on CNN. “I don’t see those folks, and I think it is important for us to recognize that if in fact you’re going to mandate the purchase of insurance and it’s not affordable then there’s going to have to be some enforcement mechanism that the government uses and they may charge people who already don’t have health care fines, or have to take it out of their paychecks and that I don’t think is helping those without health insurance, that is a genuine difference. “

U.S. District Judge Roger Vinson, who ruled Obamacare unconstitutional this week, noted a statement that Obama had made in a February 5th, 2008 interview with CNN. In his ruling Vinson wrote, “I note that in 2008, then-Senator Obama supported a health care reform proposal that did not include an individual mandate because he was at that time strongly opposed to the idea, stating that ‘if a mandate was the solution, we can try that to solve homelessness by mandating everybody to buy a house.’”

In a February 26, 2008 MSNBC Democratic debate Obama criticized the concept of a mandate again. “If, as we’ve heard tonight, we still don’t know how Senator Clinton intends to enforce a mandate and if we don’t know the level of subsidies that she’s going to provide, then you could have a situation which were seeing right now in the state of Massachusetts, where people are being fined for not having purchased health care - but choose to accept the fine because they still can’t afford it even with the subsidies and they are then worse off. They then have no health care and are paying a fine above and beyond that. That is a genuine difference between myself and Senator Clinton,” Obama said.
