Supposedly we are in Libya to stop a dictator's violence against innocent civilians, especially women and children. But when such a justification comes out of the mouths of people like Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, whose husband murdered a large number of children in Waco, Texas, and many more in Serbia, it is more than a little suspect.
And when such words come out of the mouth of President Obama, they are absolutely sickening. As NCPForce! reported in earlier blog posts, the Nobel Peace winner has been involved, since the day he assumed office, in the relentless drone bombing campaign of Afghanistan, Pakistan, and of late Yemen. The numbers of dead civilians vary by account, but it is a certainty that the cost of human lives is escalating into the thousands.
For those who may see U.S. inflicted civilian casualties as an abstract idea, here are a few photos of victimized children which may prove educational (a word of caution, the photos below are disturbing):
Yes, these are children who have been murdered and maimed by American weapons, financed by American tax dollars, ignored by the American public, and sanctioned by a butcher masquerading as an enlightened President – a man of “hope” and “change.”
And do not believe, gentle reader, that there have not been and will not be similar civilian casualties in Libya. Our so-called no-fly zone is rapidly turning into much more than that, and there can be no doubt that with 110 missiles fired on the first day of Operation Odyssey Dawn alone, plus additional bomber sorties and strikes on Libyan ground forces, that innocents have not be annihilated.
And Obama, by waging his new war in Libya, is not only trouncing children in yet another foreign land, he is also sticking his thumb in the eye of children right here at home.
While American children are having their school budgets cut and medical programs liquidated, Obama is merrily spending hundreds of millions on his North African rampage. And even as the bombs drop, Obama's lovely Democrats are conspiring with Republicans to crush programs like WIC and food stamps which feed millions of hungry kids.
This fact should not be wasted on even the most jingoistic American who thinks that foreigners kids are fair game in the ongoing war against terror/dictators we don't like/any convenient threat to our “strategic interests”. In the end, cash-strapped Americans will have to pick up the tab for the bloodletting, which can become quite expensive when a mass murderer is given authority to kill and kill again.
