16 Civilians Killed in NATO Strike in Tripoli – Media and Leftists Are Surprisingly Uninterested

Do you remember when the leftwing media used to count all the fatalities in Iraq and Afghanistan? Do you remember how the peace activists would march in all the major cities and the newspapers would report all the innocent civilian casualties? And, do remember when the media would even make up stories to show how bad things were in Iraq?
Well, that was when we had a Republican as president.
Suddenly, it’s not such a big deal anymore.
(Dawn)
16 civilians were killed in a NATO strike in Libya today.
Dawn reported:
Sixteen “civilians” have been killed in a Nato air strike on Brega, to the east of the Libyan capital, state TV on Friday quoted a military source as saying.
Both Al-Libya and Al-Jamahiriya channels carried the report, which could not be independently verified.
Al-Libya said that in addition to those killed, there were “dozens of wounded” from the strike “last night.”
An international coalition began carrying out strikes on forces loyal to Libyan leader Muammar Qadhafi on March 19. Nato took command of operations over Libya on March 31.
What a difference 2 1/2 years and a democratic president makes, huh?
As Victor Davis Hanson says::
The only thing more surreal than Barack Obama’s radical transformation is the sudden approval of it by the once hysterical Left. In Animal Farm and 1984 fashion, the world we knew in 2006 has simply been airbrushed away.
Agreed.

The leftists in this country make a mess, and then move on to another mess. This is why smart people despise them. Even the New York Slimes buried the Holocaust in its paper during Hitler’s reign. They are still wreaking havoc. They are really detestable.

Just looked on cnn.com and msn.com and can’t find a single mention of this on either website.
Jack commented:
Obama is responsible for over 100,000 deaths since he took office.
Trialdog commented:
News report today 1) that the bombing continues until Gadhafi stops attacking his own people and 2) Obama regime agrees with NATO general that campaign has saved “countless lives.”
Surreal huh?

Unfortunately there’re more them (Muslims) where they came from.
Question-of-the-Day?
When is the absence of a Muslim from your country (or even the face of the earth for that matter) a bad thing?

Doc54 commented:
if these freakin cowards didn’t hide behind innocent civilians this wouldn’t happen. They wont come out and fight like real soldiers, instead they hide under the cover of women and children. Shows exactly what these cowards(muslim’s) really are !
Andreas K. commented:
Were those good civilians or bad civilians? Were they even all civilians? Maybe they were moderate taliban looking for an outreach program?
sickness commented:
Now it’s time for the Libyan people to realize and see the reality. They should be united, together to repel all the invaders out of the country. Don’t let the invaders seized and control your oil. Wake up Libyan…!!!
Robert commented:
It just shows that the Left is a bunch of un-principled political hacks, just using people lives to advance their political goals.
I saw a blurb a while ago that Obama now says that Libya is “open-ended” which would be totally against the Left’s ideals, if they really stood up for them.
I wonder when Cindy Sheehan and Code Pinkos are going to Libya in solidarity with Gadafi and the civilians?

Bush bad.

More reasons for home-grown jihadis to take vengeance on us.
The smartest president . . .

NATO = Government Work. Hey, they tried to hit the enemy. It’s the thought that counts right?

Obama has been bragging about killing a muslim for a week, maybe he likes killing muslims, nobody really knows much about about him.
