McCain In favor of war, who’d have Guessed

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110422/ap_on_re_mi_ea/mccain_libya

It is always surprising to this writer that Senator McCain, who personally suffered the cruelty and horror of war, should be a war hawk.  It seems that at every turn the US Senator is cheering in favor of war, with its guns, bombs and destruction.  It is disheartening to need to repeat so many times, but please remember that the government of Libya is the legal government recognized by the UN, most NATO counties and all international companies doing business with Libya.  I don’t know how the Senator entered the sovereign State of Libya?  It seems that a no fly zone does not apply to US Senators who are against the legal government. They can fly in without interference from NATO. Now, let’s reverse the scene.  Imagine that there was a rebellion of the Union workers party in the USA.  Imagine that a Libyan supporter of the rebellion entered the country on a private plane, landed at the rebel hideout and then held a clandestine press conference calling for the overthrow of the US government.  What would happen? I believe the US government, would arrest the Libyan for advocating the violent overthrow of the USA.  So…okay, the objection my readers make is that the USA is not a dictatorship.  But according to the outlined scenario, the rebels in the USA would say that it was a dictatorship and should be overthrown.  Now, back to today and reality, Mc Cain should have been arrested by the Libyan Government as a provocateur who advocated the overthrown of the internationally recognized government of Libya. And why wasn’t he?  Because he entered the country illegally?  Or because he was surrounded by USA secret service agents to protect him?  Or because he wasn’t there more than a few hours, in which time he came to a complete, in-depth understanding of all the facts, and decided that the army, navy, and other armed personnel of Libya were bad and needed to be killed by USA drones, bombs, artillery and cruise missiles?  I guess the military families of the Libyan government have no feelings, or rights?  Let’s just kill them because American Senator John McCain says so! It really is surprising how much Senator McCain is in favor of wanton war.  By the way, isn’t there a budget battle raging in the Senate?  Isn’t there a need for Republican Senators to be out on the tour promoting the Ryan proposals?  Isn’t there a great need for more jobs support efforts from the Senate?  Maybe a nice little war in Libya that is costing us millions a day is what Senator McCain feels will fuel a recovery in the US armaments industry?  Strange friends, government and armament makers!

UN Refers to Gaddafi as “Government”

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110418/ap_on_re_mi_ea/ml_libya

The above article is a simple and clear indication that the Western powers are liars and the UN is also duplicitous.  The article clearly states that the negotiations over humanitarian aid were with the Libyan “Government”.  That means the legitimate government ( dictatorship or otherwise) of the sovereign Nation of Libya.  As stated in this blog repeatedly, the UN was duped by the Obama administration and the Obama Administration was duped by the French colonialists and the British Imperialists.  The illegal criminal aggression against Libya should be halted immediately.  The rebel army officers and other disgruntled individuals should be told that they are on their own and arrangement made with the Gaddafi government for a restoration of peace and international harmony.  In fact, I outlined these procedures in another article.  Today I would add that because the NATO forces attacked the legal army, navy and air forces of Libya, they should be charged with war crimes at the Hague based on the Geneva conventions and the Nuremberg trials of WWII. If that will not be done, then the NATO countries, especially France and England should be charged for the carnage and forced to pay a whopping sum of money to the Libyan people to be administered by the Libyan government under UN oversight.  The people of Libya have suffered terribly because of the stupid war started by Sarkosy, Cameron, and Obama.

Abandon Libyan Rebels

A month ago the governments of the world were dealing with Libyan Leader Gaddafi.

The idea was to legitimate the government there, include Libya inside the world community, enlist their aid in fighting terrorism and gradually ease the Libyan government toward more democracy.  It seemed to be working.

What Happened?  French President Sarkozy was sinking in public opinion polls and so was President Obama.  So they resolved to start a nice little war against mostly rural Libya and when it was won they could portray themselves a world leaders.

So the boys chose what seemed an easy target and without any provocation from Libya they went to the UN, to get  a resolution to use any and all force needed to defend civilians from Libyan government attack.  What nobody knew at the time was that the French British and USA leaders intended to include protection of the Libyan rebel forces under the category of civilian while casting the Libyan army as the mercenary forces of Colonel Gaddafi. So for the past several weeks, under the ruse of a so-called “no fly zone” the USA and NATO forces have launched a merciless air WAR against the Libyan government ground forces, destroying their armaments and ground vehicles intending to make it impossible for the Libyan government to defend it against an armed rebellion, and thereby guarantee the victory of the insurrectionists against the Libyan Army.

The result> defeat for America.

Is Sean Hannity the Only True Conservative?

Listening to Mark Levin, Bill O’Reilly and Sean Hannity today, I wondered if Sean is the only true conservative left?  I have great respect for Mark Levin.  He truly is the “Great One”  but his anger over the present budget deal threatens to side line him because he is focusing on a short term goal, the 100 billion. I  understand Mark’s position but I disagree.  The present budget is like this:  A person is about to cross the street.  Another person on the corner keeps shouting that he should not cross.  But a third person behind the first tells him it is okay.  So the person crosses and gets hit by a bus.  The person who said that it was okay simply shrugs and moves away.  But the one who shouted that he should not cross tries his best to revive him, but fails and is blamed by everyone for not being able to save the man who crossed the street.  It is the President who is supposed to propose the annual budget to Congress in a timely manner.  Obama did not.  The Democrat Congress under Pelosi and Reid did not.  The newly elected Republicans have tried to save the doomed budget process for fiscal 2011 but are failing.  They are doing their best and should not be blamed for Obama’s negligence and failure.  Like Mr. Levin, who is blaming the Republicans, Mr. O’Reilly is also blaming them.  But unlike Mark Levin, Bill O’Relly is revealing himself to be a fan and supporter of President Obama.  Daily in the No pin Zone, O’Reilly spins the news and the interviews, casting them in favor of Obama and against the Republicans.  Soon, O’Reilly will join the drones and blame everything on President George W. Bush. This leave Sean Hannity.  He is consistent in his critique of the Obama Administration and clearly supports Republicans, the Tea party movement and Conservatives.  But Sean too, is often very critical of the Republicans.  This writer agrees that the Present Budget deal is disappointing but the bigger and more important fight is the Ryan proposal for 2012 and the out years with a projection of 6 trillion in savings.  The pundits and talk show hosts, the bloggers and the commentators must unite and remain united NO MATTER WHAT because the Democrat response to the Ryan proposal will be vicious. There can no divisions, no Scott Brown, Olympia Snow Republicans who side with and vote for Democrat counter proposals.

Is Obama’s War Legal?

The Judge, filling in for Glenn Beck tonight, highlighted the idea that the Obama war in Libya is illegal.  The basics of his argument were that the Constitution gives the President the right to go to Congress for a Declaration of War when the supposed enemy  has attacked the USA, is about to or threatens to attack the USA, or can be shown to be a direct threat to the national security and sovereignty of the USA.  In the case of Libya, none of these factors are true, yet, the USA has launched 212 missiles against the sovereign state of Libya, dropped numerous bombs, attacked its navy and killed its army personnel. All of this is a usurpation of power by the President and in the Judge’s words, the spineless response of a broken Congress.

Obama Birth Certificate?

Tonight Bill O’Reilly wanted to dismiss the problem of President Obama’s birth certificate as not being important.  But it is important for the ordinary people of the nation.  Last month I needed to get a renewed driver’s license. I was required to provide six proofs of legality.  There was absolutely no way I could have said to the motor vehicle clerk that I had my private records sealed by a Judge and therefore they would not be able to see the six required proofs.  Indeed, I COULD have said that but then I would not be given a license.  Yesterday, a friend told me that he was called for jury duty.  The judged asked if he was a citizen.  He said, “yes.”  Now, consider that the judge asked if he were a citizen and therefore, if the judge did not believe him, I am sure the judge had the power to request proof of that citizenship, which for a natural-born citizen is his birth certificate.   A few years ago I was stopped by a State trooper.  He required of me a license, a vehicle registration and a proof of insurance.  I could not say that those documents were sealed by a judge.  He would not only have given me several tickets but would have told me to get out of the car and had the car towed to the impoundment area.  It is amazing that the President of the USA has his personal records under lock and key and sealed to outside eyes by a judge.  What is the President hiding?  It is a mockery of our USA legal system to use it to hide from the eyes of the citizens.  How can anyone follow the lead of a President who hides his school documents, his student loan applications, his school registrations and applications, and his birth certificate from the eyes of the people he rules ( sorry, I should have said, the people he serves, but sometimes Obama is more a ruler than a public servant)
