In Obama’s justification speech of Libyan intervention, he had the following to say regarding the hypocrisy of our “foreign policy”:
"It is true that America cannot use our military wherever repression occurs. And given the costs and risks of intervention, we must always measure our interests against the need for action."
Begging the question, how is Libya’s situation (versus other repressive regimes) in our interests? At least he’s coming right out and admitting that it’s not about the Libyans.
"Wherever people long to be free, they will find a friend in the United States," Obama said.
Uh-huh. Like Zimbabwe? Like Sudan? Like Bahrain? Line ‘em up. Oh well, sometimes a “true friend” uses tough love.
....and hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
