Figures. Bush’s Iraqi Coalition of Willing Had 4 TIMES AS MANY Active Members Than Obama’s Libya Group

(EBay)

George Bush put together a 48 member coalition for the Iraq War in 2003.
40 of those members supported military operations.

In April 2003, the list was updated to include 49 countries, though it was reduced to 48 after Costa Rica objected to its inclusion. Of the 48 states on the list, three contributed troops to the invasion force (the United Kingdom, Australia and Poland). An additional 37 countries provided some number of troops to support military operations after the invasion was complete.

Then there’s Mr. Internationalist’s coalition…
Barack Obama was only able to find 10 countries who would sign up for military action in Libya.

Of the 35 countries that are supposed to be supporting the implementation of a no-fly zone, just ten of them have signed up for military action. And of those, three – Britain, France and America – are undertaking the lion’s share of the sorties. So much for international consensus.

But despite the facts… Obama continues to attack President Bush for his unilateralist policies.
And, of course, the state-run media lets him.

Smart power is one big dishonest joke…

Remember MR. Hoft, how Hillary failed to bring the Olympics to NYC, just as Obama was snubbed by the international community trying to bring the games to Chicago? Now these fools are making a mess of US foreign policy, missing endless opportunities to capitalize on the progress in the ME created by President Bush and the US Military.

The hypocrisy, contradictions, lies growing by the minute from the Democratic Partisans in the MSM, in the Senate, in the House, and in the Obama Administration – is obscene. Just like the utter contradiction posed by their demands for Sen. Packwood’s removal vs. their endless denials over Bill Clinton.

The ditch the Democratic Partisans have dug for themselves, desperately clinging to laughable denials about embracing Bush Administration policies they once vilified, while they are consistently forced to embrace the sound policies once provided by Republicans – is no longer just a comedy. Whether it be the Patriot Act, GITMO, Wiretaps, Military Force, (EVEN THE BUSH TAX CUTS), etc., the Democratic Party joke has become a form of insanity in need of serious professional help.

For example, just today, Hillary Clinton (someone who claimed the dictator of Syria is a ‘reformer’ – yuck yuck), again said the US cannot tell the Libyan People “what to do”. Another desperate attempt to again stab at the Bush Administration and distance the Democrats from the overt contradictions in their actions today vs. their prior ugly diatribe which endlessly condemned the Bush Administration.

Isn’t it laughable? This is the same Obama Administration which obsessed about Israel building on it’s own land. Mrs. Clinton and the Obama Administration did not just try to control Israel, they even repeatedly tried to tell the Afghani People “what to do”. Hillary Clinton was the one who led the attempt to politically debase the Bush Administration success in Afghanistan, by repeatedly condemning the democratically elected Karzai Government as being ‘corrupt’ (the first election in this regard). Ironically, Mrs. Clinton unwittingly began to destabilize the Afghanistan Government friendly to the USA, by demanding the President’s removal and pushing for reform in Afghanistan. It was another example of gross ‘meddling’ internationally for the sake of Domestic Political exploitation – and foolishly began President Karzai’s entertaining the despots of Iran.

Yet today, these same “meddling” Democrats, who are waging war in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Libya, etc., are saying they cannot tell people “what to do” ???

Oh my…

You cannot make this sophistry up. It is a comedy of ugly errors. A complete farce. To be expected from those who lied about “sniper dodging” and joked about serious issues being “above my pay grade”. The same Partisans who once made it their policy to lie about the genocide in Rwanda.

All we see today is overt partisan garbage, nothing else. There is no “hope” in this smart power mess.

We better get it together to end this folly in 2012.

Nothing captures the behind the scenes word play of Obama’s Libyan explanations as well as the praphrased conversation between David Cameron and Nicolas Sarkozy that appeared in the piece “I Lead An Effort With Our Allies”.

Don’t forget also that Bush destroyed the Saddam regime. He wiped out his military too.
He also killed his sons Uday and Qusay and captured, tried and executed Saddam Hussein.
Apparently Obama wishes no harm to a mass murderer and would even be content with him just going into exile with a couple of billion of dollars.

To give credit where credit’s due: The Iraqis stretched Saddam’s neck after a trial in an Iraqi court based on Iraqi law. Bush did kill his two evil spawns, though.

Wow this Libya thing is nothing but crap. The US congress has relinquished its war powers to the UN. I am starting to believe ALL politicians on both sides are involved in this new world order. All except Allen West.

Thank you Carlos and Jetstream.

It is all so sickening, these corrupt Democratic Partisans cannot help themselves.

Will anyone really buy into these vivid lies?

Besides, the Bush Administration never truly told the Afghani or Iraqi People “what to do”. This is nonsense.

The USA led by the Bush Administration and the amazing US Military, helped the formerly oppressed People of Afghanistan and Iraq create their own self rule, after removing brutal despots.

The Afghani and Iraq People alike, wrote their own constitutions, created their own democracies, voted for their own people to govern themselves. There was never any unseemly “CONTROL” effort, being implied by the unethical partisans like Mrs. Clinton.

Hillary Clinton is offering pure garbage.

The people of Iraq and Afghanistan were clearly given their freedom led by the Bush Administration and the US Military. Someday, we might just find out, this admirable endeavor truly empowered the recent revolution in the Region craving freedom – much like the fall of the Iron Curtain years after the Reagan Administration’s efforts in the Cold War.

Too bad the Democrats are in charge of the Executive today, for they seem to be blowing the great opportunity – enabling the opposite, like the forces of Iran and Al Qaeda.

“Iraq is a long way from Ohio, but what happens there matters a great
deal here. For the risks that the leaders of a rogue state will use
nuclear, chemical or biological weapons against us or our allies is
the greatest security threat we face. And it is a threat against which
we must, and will, stand firm.

In discussing Iraq, we begin by knowing that Saddam Hussein, unlike
any other leader, has used weapons of mass destruction even against
his own people. In fact, he is a repeat offender, having used them
both in the battle and against his people.”

I heard Secretary Albright utter these words with my very own ears at a town hall meeting in Columbus, Ohio. (Transcript:http://www.fas.org/news/iraq/1998/02/20/98022006_tpo.html)

During all this time, it’s as if I lived in a parallel universe and this town hall meeting never happened. That’s when I knew we were in BIG trouble in this country. The “Progressive’s” narrative will never change.

Democrats = Good
