obama defends US military action in libya

"To brush aside America's responsibility as a leader and — more profoundly — our responsibilities to our fellow human beings under such circumstances would have been a betrayal of who we are," Obama said. "Some nations may be able to turn a blind eye to atrocities in other countries. The United States of America is different. And as president, I refused to wait for the images of slaughter and mass graves before taking action."

insert bush's name in there and you have iraq. right?

obama was against the war in iraq, even tho saddam was responsible for the death and rape of thousands AND thousands of his own people, exponentially more than ghadafi. is iraq more important geopolitically (and strategically) in the middle east than libya in northern africa? most definitely. it's alot easier to campaign against war when you're a candidate, but shit gets real at the pentagon when you become the boss. i personally think obama is way over his head. but at least our military is bad ass. just some food for thought :)
