The New War

The situation in Libya grows worse each day. Through our president, America has taken a stand to back the rebels rising up against Mommar Qaddafi. There have been other dictators who have mistreated their people, but we have taken a stand against Libya. Is it because of the oil? These suggestions have been denied as we do not get Libyan oil. The bigger question is can we afford to enter another war?
A great deal of noise is buzzing about this very thing. However, by choosing to go in under NATO, Obama is hoping to avoid being embroiled in another conflict that would yet force our military's involvement. They are spread pretty thin right now.
And yet rumors persist of closed door meetings and CIA operatives going to ground in Libya.
Obama denies it, saying we will not send ground troops. And yet word is coming out of Camp LeJeune that the marines are preparing to go into training for a secretive military operation. And it doesn't sound like Afghanistan.
Obama knows that if he undertakes another war, he will not survive the 2012 election which is most likely the reason this is all so secretive.
His far left supporters are already jumping ship, and those on the right are attacking his every move. Another war just about seals his fate to go back to Chicago, home of the gangland style of politics.
Qaddafi must be dealt with. But he is not the only dictator committing atrocities against their people. What about the people of Darfur in Africa? Does the United States take a hand in all the atrocities in the world? No, we don't.
Since we are in such dire circumstances here at home, we should be cutting off aid to all these cesspool nations that hate us so much. And to involve us in yet another conflict is wrong on so many levels. Has anyone bothered to check out who the rebels are? How do we know they aren't Al Queda or Iranians? To replace one dictator with another terrorist doesn't help the world cause. Or does Obama have an ulterior motive?
Could the true story be that it takes the focus off our economy and our lack of jobs? Maybe it takes the heat off what is really the focus of the nation and gives Obama an excuse for not creating jobs, not focusing on the budget or the welfare of his own country. ~ One Voice
