Allied With Savages

Our nation's friendemy, Moammar Gadhafi, was murdered.

Did he deserve to die? No doubt! But has the Age of Obama so distorted Americans' moral compasses that we won't even call a spade a spade anymore?

Gadhafi was murdered...!!! He wasn't captured, tried, found guilty and executed; he was captured and then murdered.

Hey... it wasn't us... it happened over there... it was them. Nothing to do with us, right?

Wrong!

Com'on... we enabled Gadhafi's murder. We "allied" ourselves with savages.

I was socialized on John Wayne movies. Remember "the Code of the West," the "Rule of Law," American justice symbolized by the sheriff or marshal who would risk all and fight till his last breath to protect his prisoner from the lynch mob regardless of what a rotten, murderous, deserving of death scumbag his prisoner was?

Is there any doubt that Moammar Gadhafi was a vile dictator - a murder - a murderer responsible for the deaths of Americans?

Nope.

Did Ronald Reagan himself order the bombing of Gadhafi's personal living compound in 1986 in response to the Berlin discotheque bombing of that same year?

Yes!

But that was an act of retribution...

Simply putting a bullet into the head of a captured prisoner - no matter how hated... no matter how deserving - is murder.

Up above I tag Gadhafi America's friendemy. You know why - right? After the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq Gadhafi basically wet his pants, agreed to scrap his WMD programs and support for terrorism, and reached out for what the foreign policy types and academic types would term a "rapprochement" with the United States.

And guess what? Basically he got his wish! The Bush administration claimed this "rapprochement" a great diplomatic victory and when Barak Hussein Obama became president he (and his Secretary of State, Hillary Rodham Clinton) pursued the same policy... up till...

Well... you know the rest folks - or if you don't, you can google it.

Who are we now "allied" with in Libya? Savages? No doubt. Murderers? Yep. Definitely. Criminals? Uh... yeah... no doubt!

Will the new Libyan government prove to be less inimical to American interests than the 2003-2011 Gadhafi regime? Who can say? Who knows...?!?! Certainly I have no crystal ball.

The question is... did the Obama administration just spend - pretty much unilaterally... skirting the Constitution at best - almost two billion taxpayer dollars (borrowed from China?) to move American interests in the Middle East (technically North Africa) from the frying pan into the fire?

Time will tell...

Are we allied with the sort of savages who proudly murder a helpless captive in cold blood and thus deprive their fellow countrymen and countrywomen as well as the rest of the world's population of true justice seen carried out...

Yes.
