Crisis getting deeper in Syria...

As the crisis in Syria deepens, we once again see obama sitting on the fence. He will wait until someone chooses a side for him or until the outcome is determined and then claim that was his team the whole time.

While he let the u.n. decide a course of action for our Country in Libya, once that decision was made he jumped on board with both feet, pretending to have a plan and a new policy. So will that policy apply to Syria? Can we expect to see cruise missles on the Syrian horizon? Or will our course of action be dictated by the u.n.?

Has any other president in the history of our Country let the u.n. decide when we do or do not act? It is a sign of weakness on the part of obama. He has shown many of those signs. His inability to deal with foreign policy issues is scary. What if there is an actual threat to our Country? Will we have to wait four or five weeks for a decision from the u.n. on how we should deal with that threat? By then it may be too late? Is that a chance we should be willing to take?

When bashar assad starts mudering his own people wholesale for protesting mistreatment, will obama call for his removal but then refuse to target him? Will he say that assad has to go but then claim we are not advocating for regime change? This is exactly how obama has treated qaddafi in Libya, why would we expect anything different if it comes to blows in Syria?

It's surprising how easily obama's complete disregard for the Constitution was deflected after the action in Libya. Dennis Kucinich was about the only person I heard calling for impeachment. For once I actually agreed with the guy. It should have been John Boehner or harry reid, but nothing from reid and only an idle threat from Boehner. I sometimes wonder if obama has some sort of dirt on every single member of congress. Why are none of them willing to stand up to obama? Even when he shows total disregard for our Constitution and our laws. Will he be so bold if the u.n. orders us into Syria?

2012 can not come soon enough. We need to rid our Country of this obama cancer at our earliest opportunity. If we don't, there may not be much of a Country left...

Who's in charge? Germans pull forces out of NATO as Libyan coalition falls apart

What a clusterfuck. This is exactly what you get when obama and the u.n. start planning a war. Neither of them should be allowed to have anything to do with a military operation. An individual or an organization without a set of balls, actual or literal, should be banned from any war planning, strategy session or any other involvement. It should be left to the big boys.

I don't blame Germany for pulling their troops. nato will just get them all killed.

With the new information of the rebels being backed by al queda, we should pull our support and the libyans fight this out amongst themselves.

Four days and it's already a huge mess. You can sure tell obama has been involved. Most things he touches turn to hell in a handbasket quick.

From DailyMail Online

Deep divisions between allied forces currently bombing Libya worsened today as the German military announced it was pulling forces out of NATO over continued disagreement on who will lead the campaign.

A German military spokesman said it was recalling two frigates and AWACS surveillance plane crews from the Mediterranean, after fears they would be drawn into the conflict if NATO takes over control from the U.S.

The infighting comes as a heated meeting of NATO ambassadors yesterday failed to resolve whether the 28-nation alliance should run the operation to enforce a U.N.-mandated no-fly zone, diplomats said.

Yesterday a war of words erupted between the U.S. and Britain after the U.K. government claimed Muammar Gaddafi is a legitimate target for assassination.

U.K. government officials said killing the Libyan leader would be legal if it prevented civilian deaths as laid out in a U.N. resolution.

But U.S. defence secretary Robert Gates hit back at the suggestion, saying it would be 'unwise' to target the Libyan leader adding cryptically that the bombing campaign should stick to the 'U.N. mandate'.

President Barack Obama, seeking to avoid getting bogged down in a war in another Muslim country, said on Monday Washington would cede control of operations against Muammar Gaddafi's forces within days, handing the reins over to NATO.

But Germany and European allies remain unwilling to have NATO take on a military operation that theoretically has nothing to do with the defence of Europe.

Today the German defence ministry announced Berlin had pulled out of any military operations in the Mediterranean.

No-Fly zone in Libya...

The u.n. has decided to give their permission for a no-fly zone over Libya. All of a sudden obama is on board? Where has this dumbass been for the last 31 days while rebels and civilians got the crap kicked out of them?

obama came out talking tough. Warning qaddafi do stop... or else. Or else what? He has already said we won't put American boots on the ground and we won't use attack aircraft. So what else is left? Is he going to send hillary over there to ugly them to death? Or maybe biden to idiot them into submission? Or maybe go over there himself and help qaddafi with his basketball brackets?

obama is so full of shit his breath stinks. He talks tough, but he won't do a damn thing, and the entire world knows it.

It hasn't gone unnoticed by most of the world that obama refuses to make a decision and will only commit when the decision has been made for him. It's a sad day when the United States president lets the u.n. make decisions for him. Talk about a bunch of worthless, good for nothings, the u.n is it.

Let me clarify that I don't think we should invade Libya. There is no way we should put boots on the ground there. But... we should fire up some fighter jets and shoot down anything in the air, and maybe take out a few tanks on the way. That would even the odds a little for the rebels...

U.N. Security Council Introduces No-Fly Zone Draft Resolution on Libya

Dude, why did these dumbshits even bother to waste the time on a resolution they don't think will pass? You may already know this, but in case you don't, the u.n. is a clusterfuck. They are very good at spending money but pretty worthless at everything else.

I hope the people of Libya are able to gain their freedom on their own. The u.n. and obama have zero balls and will figure out every way to get out of providing them with assistance...

By Jonathan Wachtel - FoxNews

A proposal to establish a no-fly zone over Libya has been introduced to the U.N. Security Council, though both its chance of passage and effectiveness even if it does pass are very much in doubt.

The resolution would provide political and legal authorization for the establishment of a no-fly zone over Libya, strengthen existing economic sanctions -- including a more robust enforcement of an arms embargo -- and expand a list of individuals, organizations and companies that are subject to travel bans and to the freezing of assets from Libya. The draft also calls for a ban on the use of commercial flights to transport mercenaries into the country and other means to end the involvement of foreign fighters.

The move comes as forces loyal to Muammar Qaddafi have used airpower and tanks with devastating effect against the rebels, who are losing ground in their battle to unseat the longtime dictator.

"It may prove to be too little too late," says Robert Danin, a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations. "It could be of some assistance in creating humanitarian sanctuaries, but if the goal is to roll back Qaddafi's forces, it is likely to have little military effect, especially with the rebel stronghold of Benghazi on the brink of falling."

Even though the U.S. is now backing the draft Libya resolution, Danin believes the Obama administration should have pushed harder for action much earlier. "Obama should not have called for Qaddafi to step down if the U.S. was not willing to back up that call with a real sense of an ‘or else' ... consequences for failing to step down.”

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."

U.K. Pulls Plug on United Nations Spending, in Move That is Bound to Hearten U.S. Critics

It sounds like someone in the British government found a set of balls. It's too bad nobody in our government can find a pair. It is always amazing how we continue to support an organization that throws us under the bus at every opportunity.

The u.n. has proven itself to be corrupt time and time again. And they are completely out of touch with reality. How could an organization with any sense of reality put countries like libya and iran on any kind of "rights" council. Neither of those countries knows anything about human rights, womens rights or any other kind of rights.

The u.n. is an outdated, irrelevent organiztion that should be put to sleep...

By George Russell - FoxNews

Critics of U.S. spending on the United Nations got a huge boost—and supporters of that spending, especially the Obama Administration, took a body blow—from an unlikely source this week: the British government, long one of the U.N.’s staunchest supporters.

In a sweeping and hard-nosed reorganization of priorities for its $10.6 billion multilateral foreign aid program, the Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition government of Prime Minister David Cameron has pulled the financial plug entirely on four U.N. agencies at the end of next year, put three others judged merely “adequate” on notice that they could face the same fate unless they improve their performance “as a matter of absolute urgency;” and issued pointed criticisms of almost all the rest.

The major exception: UNICEF, the U.N. children’s aid agency, which got a strong endorsement and a funding increase.

The tough actions were revealed as the Republican majority in the U.S. House of Representatives, led by House Foreign Affairs Committee chairperson Ileana Ros-Lehtinen

Moreover, the British actions change the focus of the debate, from gauzy generalizations about the need for and importance of the U.N. to a realistic look at what it actually achieves.
